Rookie driving from Piastri putting a wheel onto a wet kerb, his season has really fallen apart.

And hulkenberg seems to have driven like a rookie as well. Colapinto showing why the team have kept him. Apparently down to "talent"

TheGiantHogweed

Again I feel that any of the cars that contributed to this red flag, should not be allowed to use this free time to fix there car. Otherwise, many could deliberately cause this situation to their or their teams advantage.

TheGiantHogweed

Hamilton still shows signs of skill. That was a great start. I think bearman was way too aggressive with Lawson here. As he dangerously pushed ocon off the track onto the grass. Piastri continuing to plummet in performance. Hulkenberg also in general has just been poor his year aside from his podium.

TheGiantHogweed

The microphone in Norris's car sounds dreadful. Perfect job by him though. Solid job by Alonso and Stroll as well. Alonso beats Verstappen, and Stroll only just behind. Piastri will have to hope for a bad start from Norris. Antonelli clearly better than Russell as well. Leclerc and Hamilton both dis...

TheGiantHogweed

Hamilton is going to be / should be in big trouble for that. He went waay too fast during the double yellows there. From looking at that, it just has to be a 5 place grid penalty at least.

I am happy to say that normal service appears to have been resumed this week. Thanks to anyone who had a hand in resolving whatever issues plagued the forum. Well, it worked for a day by chance when imentioned above, but it will have just been a coincidence. There were still a number of occations o...

Im also a bit unclear why Verstappen was able to keep track position on Hamilton according to the guidelines after cutting the track at turn 2/3 chicane (after the crash). Hamilton was on the inside and his front wing was more than in front of Verstappens mirror, i thought that this meant he had th...

What is anyone elses view / knowledge in this area? The lack of penalty for the next race. I am not against Sainz in any way for speeding in the pit lane - it was extremelly obvious from the first replay that his car had a fault, and he reported it and it must have been incredibly frustraiting for ...

TheGiantHogweed

Now that the f1 radio rewind has been put on youtube, there are now lots of things shown that the main footage missed. Including Hadjar making a bad start, and getting frustrated with himself and apologizing to his team. Meanwhile, Sainz crashed into Lawson, which basically prevented him from passin...

TheGiantHogweed

Couldn't put it in a better spot. How is a VSC needed? How are double yellows even needed? He was off track in a manner of seconds. 1982565698183532845 Because cars would still have been racing around the corner and there is still a slight possibility (yes very slim) that a driver could go off and ...

TheGiantHogweed

I am feeling that Piastri will get over his slump and be back next race. I also don't think Norris will be totally error free like he was this weekend. He has not managed several races in a row without messing up in q3 or the start. I think between the McLaren drivers, it will be incredibly close an...

Norris over Piastri Verstappen over Tsunoda Antonelli over Russell Gasly over Colapinto Bearman over Ocon Hadjar over Lawson Sainz over Albon Edit: I didn't realise that sainz actually crashed and broke his steering on lap 69. If it wasn't a technical issue that caused the spin then I will change my...

TheGiantHogweed

Bearman, Verstappen, Antonelli. I was very impressed with how Verstappen handled his 2nd stint. While I have different views about how the VSC is needed, I do think verstappen will have got by Leclerc there. Bearman easily was the stand out driver, but his final stint was not very strong. Maybe (as...

TheGiantHogweed

What an absolute joke that VSC was. Just leave the car where it is for the last lap. It's a 40MPH corner. I haven't seen exactly what happened yet, but my view is this: If it was the case that there were people on track pushing his car down the escape road, then there had to be a VSC. The marshalls...

TheGiantHogweed

Well, that is a grid penalty for Sainz for the next race again is it not? Not that it was his fault (guessing from the issue he reported). But failing to serve a drive through can surely only result in a grid drop for the next race? And because of the severity of the penalty (20 seconds) It suggests...

TheGiantHogweed

Verstappen cannot afford to make any mistakes at this stage to be within a chance of getting the WDC, but - if he doesn't go for it, then things will still be hard with him losing those points. But he can't afford losing loads of points with a careless lunge.

TheGiantHogweed

Haha, what will russell say now that he has just set fastest lap?

TheGiantHogweed

I may be wrong here - but won't Verstappen's tyres start going off when he gets close to Leclerc. I feel an overtake is very unlikely - but Verstappen can seriously impress as we know. I think Piastri is much more likely to get by Bearman. Could be wrong though.

TheGiantHogweed

Yea if Russell doesn't give this position back now, I will have even less respect for him (which isn't much already) He has not shown to have better pace than Antonelli at all despite sounding very full of himself on the radio multiple times. Edit - good from russell there. He kept his word of retur...

TheGiantHogweed

The footage is just terrible these days. Replays of pointless stuff while missing the action. No replays to work out how the incident with Stroll / Colapinto happened. Same with how Lawson even got the damage resulting in retirement. Then I noticed Alonso losing loads of time, but they only showed h...

TheGiantHogweed

Ouch, Piastri could well be a full minute behind Norris by the end of this race! ........

TheGiantHogweed

I'd be really hacked off if I was Antonelli. Russell was no faster and letting him past has effectively cost him 2 positions. This is why I was agreeing with Mercedes. Russell was just acting so self entitled, then demonstrated that what he wanted to happen was of no benefit to the team - and in fa...

TheGiantHogweed

Now that will be unfortunate for Sainz, if that is a fault with his pit lane speed limiter if he is given another penalty.

TheGiantHogweed

I feel bearman isn't at the level of being perfect in every stint - and think it is unlikely they will be able to pass verstappen. I think Verstappen is even more likely to get a podium, which I suggested he may just a moment ago.

TheGiantHogweed

Verstappen could be on the podium if he returns to his incredible form.

TheGiantHogweed

all the way down in 8th is still under 8 seconds from the podium positions!

TheGiantHogweed

look at Russell there. Demonstrating he has "much more pace" by his team mate remaining within DRS and himself currently not closing up to Bearman.

TheGiantHogweed

Russell, if you have MUCH more pace, you would just pass. Even Stroll earlier on this race managed to pass Alonso.

TheGiantHogweed

What is it with Alonso and his reliability?

TheGiantHogweed

Alonso pitting again already?

TheGiantHogweed

Stroll's pace relative to Alonso in both the previous races has been quicker. He's passed him now, and it looked like a genuine overtake. Stroll's race pace several times this season has been strong. He really needs to sort his 1 lap pace out...

TheGiantHogweed

Lack of replays this race. What happened with Lawson at the start? What happened between Stroll and Colapinto that resulted in the spin?
