Perez started off decent at red bull, then got worse to the point to of being terrible. To me that showed he was getting worse as a driver and not just because of how things are as Versts poem's team mate at this team. Otherwise he will have started terribly too. He's out of the sport this year, no...

Hulkenberg was out for 3 years and came back and did fine. Hulkenberg hadn't raced for two years when he stated at Haas. He wasn't out for 3 years exactly. Nor at any point did he not race for 2 years. The largest gap was between races was just over 16 months. The gap between when he last raced the...

I don't think you can categorically state that Pérez was worse than Bottas in the last few seasons. We see how Tsunoda is struggling immensely at Red Bull, something that very few would have predicted apart from the usual suspects blaming Red Bull for making the car drivable only for Verstappen. Ev...

Look, it is easy to like Bottas and no doubt he will bring a lot of cheer to the team in terms of personality. But Pérez has that too and a big bag of cash to go along with his cheer. And I don't see much difference between Bottas and Pérez in performance terms at this late stage of their careers a...

I very, very sensible signing. Basically a no brainer. That is just like saying Stroll is a good signing for Aston Martinin 2026. Both are underperforming pay drivers. You have to go back years to find a good season from Perez. As I said before, it would be like bringing Ricciardo back based on wha...

Exediron and King Void (in locked thread) - why Russell over Verstappen? Maybe because Verstappen threw away two podiums by driving-mistakes? Just guessing, of course. But would a single other driver be in that position of "losing a podium" if they were driving the Red Bull or would all of them be ...

Unsurprisingly, I think Alonso and Stroll are far to far apart in the rankings shown so far. Alonso has been unlucky, but even without that, I doubt he would have more than double Stroll's points. He's had nowhere near the usual edge over Stroll this year vs previous, and he binned it in the race wh...

Piastri didn't do anything abnormal. hard braking is 130psi not 60psi, Verstappen did what starts to become normal for him in making it all so dramatic in order to try and win a race, the stewards just didn't buy it against Russell. Clearly wasn't normal. And clearly not just Verstappen having prob...

Palmer made a comparison with this to what Bottas did one year at Tuscany. That race was dry and from Russel and those behind him, they had left a bigger gap to the drivers ahead and clearly and incorrectly assumed Bottas had got going when he hadn't. He just left it very late, but there was nothing...

Seeing an article on racefans about Alonso's and Stroll's communication with the team, although Stroll in the end said for the team to decide, this was after he made a suggestion to go onto slicks. The team clearly ended up going with Stroll's suggestion, which was what got him into the position he ...

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=e60mLm_U4Hs I was really surprised at how much Palmer disagreed with the penalty for Piastri. I thought it was totally fair given what this video shows. It was far worse than what Russell did in Canada plus it was wet. Although I have to say Russell's radio comment look...

This was the first race this year that I had to miss watching live, and during that first SC period the station I recorded ran a few ads, so I don't know whether a reason was given for deploying it. But if it was "only" on account of the rain, then it seems to me that SC deployment was against the ...

Regarding being at Audi, you do wonder if the engines will be good or a disaster, so it is hard to tell how good the team will be. But the car performance has been improving massively this year vs last. Remembering that Audi enjoyed dominating many seasons in LMP running hybrid engines that are sim...

Being honest this time, What did Alonso really do today that was much better than Stroll? Not that I would vote either. Yes, he made his mediums last far longer than Stroll made his softs last, but that is sort of to be expected? I would say Stroll's first 2 stints were more impressive over that st...

I have to say this is probably one of Leclerc's worst races in years. Starting with the more minor things (but only because of the Williams drivers reactions) I think both of his dive bombs on Albon and Sainz were too much. Neither had the right to open their steering, but had they not, both would ...

How on earth does Hadjar get the vote? He outqualified Lawson, but not by much. Lawson is an innocent victim at the start, and then Hadjar crashes into the back of Antonelli. I don't think the race should be ruled out of the vote- Hadjar made a very costly mistake and Lawson couldn't take further p...

So what lies ahead for Hulkenberg as an Audi driver do you think? Well, he is certainly doing better than I expected at Sauber. I now feel being inconsistent, but with high peaks is probably better for a team like this than a driver that is usually solid but unspectacular. Hulkenberg still has quit...

Well done Tsunoda for finishing 40 seconds behind the driver in 2nd to last place.... While we know virtually all team mates to Verstappen just can't handle this car, I think it is down to their mindset and how they handle losing to him. This seems to make some of them much weaker as a driver and st...

Seeing some replays of Piastri's breaking, I think 10 seconds is clearly deserved. You can hear he accelerated for at least a couple of seconds, then drastically slowed down with Verstappen behind. Verstappen didn't, but he could have locked up and not been able to steer away. I think the conditions...

TheGiantHogweed

Hulkenberg obviously. Norris, showing he's the better of the two McLaren drivers, made the least amount of errors of the field. Better today in terms of not making the error, but certainly not quicker overall. Piastri was on a whole other level before the safety car an built up a gap of over 15 sec...

I think I will only vote for Hulkenberg today.

But I will say that that car certainly isn't slowest!

TheGiantHogweed

I can't see any chance now for Hamilton. Hulkenberg isn't under pressure, and I don't think he will make any mistake now.

TheGiantHogweed

Hulkenberg is doing so well at the moment. Just needs to make sure he doesn't throw this away with an error.

TheGiantHogweed

Bearman really has been poor lately in terms of mistakes - not pace.

TheGiantHogweed

Hulkenberg went over the white line on the pit exit. Does that get penalties any more?
