I don't quite follow how this related to my post? Am i missing something?

Not sure what was wrong with Hamilton. He was good in Sprint race but in today's race he was competing in the midfield. Midfield is getting more interesting, Alpine seems to have better pace this weekend. But I think Bottas and Hulk were the best among midfield drivers. Ricciardo has a good record ...

TheGiantHogweed

I don't believe in such things, but it almost does seem like bottas is cursed with bad luck throughout last season and this one. He vertually never gets a chance to stand out and when he looks solid this year, the team mess up or he had reliability or damage issues. Bottas and Hulkenberg both looked...

Norris - probably his most consistent drive I can remember Could I suggest 2 awards, Driver of the Day - Norris Dork of the Day - Magnusson The problem for me is Magnusson wins his prize just about every race 😋 he's been fine in at least 2 or 3 of the races this season, and was clearly better than ...

TheGiantHogweed

crofty saying zhou has put on a really good showing. He fell to 19th near the start from starting 16th. Then was rather underwhelming the whole race and is now 14th which is only 2 places higher than he started - and he's obviously been aided by Ricciardo and Bottas retirement as well as Stroll and ...

How on earth did Alonso manage to catch that!

Well, Maldonado caught a loss of control that was a fair bit bigger than that in Austria 2015 so it clearly is possible.

TheGiantHogweed

Ok, after viewing the replay, I think that will be a racing incident. Alonso was the main cause of the cars bunching up together. Stroll could have backed off more, but no way woulf he have expected this to happen, so I don't think it is an obvious penalty. Magnussen howerver, it certainly should b...

perez already 10 seconds behind verstappen. Wasn't he already 20 seconds behind before the safety car earlier? If there were no incidents, I feel that this will have been one of those weekends where Perez will have been a good 40+ seconds behind verstappe.

at least stroll and magnussen can race for the rest of the race, both having the same penalty.

this is a joke. Cars weaving with those ugly names above them. it looks like a cartoon...

why have aston martin left it until now to pit stroll...

Well, there we go, it was all on stroll. Although after watching the replay, I can sort of understand why he was caught out.

TheGiantHogweed

Rosberg talking over replays with unrelated stuff where you want to hear what is going on is as bad as crofty....

TheGiantHogweed

Bottas's luck is just rediculously bad, continuing from last season.......

TheGiantHogweed

I have a feeling that although bottas may be capable of a points finish, the team will very likely screw up in the pits.

TheGiantHogweed

please get rid of these painful driver name graphics. They are just awful. When the camera zooms in, the driver names fills a huge percentage of the screen. It looks utterly stupid. Why not have it at the same fixed size the whole time that is a bit more descrete - or just look at the driver list th...

TheGiantHogweed

This rule is perhaps just badly worded, but going from it, Sainz shouldn't have been allowed to go any further: article 39.6 of the sporting regulations: “Any driver whose car stops on the track during the qualifying session or the sprint qualifying will not be permitted to take any further part in ...

TheGiantHogweed

They both spun they both survived. My point being is that Sainz will not have had the time to progress further if the clock had kept going. I did try to make that point. You did but I don't think it's either accurate or relevant. There was still nearly 7 minutes on the clock. Even with the minute o...

TheGiantHogweed

Didn't Leclerc also crash in qualifying yesterday for the Sprint? yes actually, but enough to give himself time to get back out without assistance from the red flag. And the sprint race obviously isn't the main event. They both spun they both survived. My point being is that Sainz will not have had...

TheGiantHogweed

Stupid from Alonso and equally stupid from Sainz, realistically he could have just waited for the DRS zone Where the contact was made with alonso most certainly wasn't equally stupid from both. It wasn't stupid from either. It's exactly what we want to see, good hard racing. Occasionally when racin...

TheGiantHogweed

Sainz looking messy this weekend. There was so much hype about him looking better than Leclerc over just 3 weekends while Leclerc was admitting he wasn't getting the best out of the car. There even seems to be floods of youtube videos going on about Sainz based on 3 performanes, then this weekend h...

Really enjoying Rosberg on co comms. He's probably the only co commentator that is willing to actually criticise drivers. I'm not keen on some of his opinionated statements. I remember when Sargeant complained of being impeded in SQ1, Rosberg said it cost him nothing at all and then later admitted ...

TheGiantHogweed

tsunoda really is not looking good this weekend compared to the rest of the seaosn.

TheGiantHogweed

well, that qualifying compared to yesterday was a shocking performance from hamilton.

TheGiantHogweed

If sainz doesn't get a penalty for that, it will be because it was between teammates. He certainly should get one

TheGiantHogweed

Impressive from magnussen today. Not sure what happened with hulkenberg. Also not sure how bottas broke his front wing.

TheGiantHogweed

That was dumb from alonso

TheGiantHogweed

The graphics with the driver names above the cars are so ugly..... I seriously hope these will not stay and make the races look as fake and game like as possible....

TheGiantHogweed

At face value I would have agreed with TheGiantHogweed as I remembered his standout performances at Monza in qualifying and I think Turkey in the wet a few years ago but your post made me think; now I am struggling to remember anything special from him in the wet in recent times. Exactly. I think I...

When was the last time he was good ? (I don't just mean better than he is in the dry, I mean genuinely good).

TheGiantHogweed

He's usually poor in these conditions. He's occasionally very good. Strongly disagree that he is usually poor in the wet. In my opinion, he is usually pretty good or great in the wet, and sometimes poor. When was the last time he was good ? (I don't just mean better than he is in the dry, I mean ge...

That was a bonkers SQ3! Some impressives drives, Norris, Hamilton and Alonso on it. Special mention for Zhou too

To be honest, Zhou was dissapointing in q3. While only one position behind bottas, he was 2.5 seconds off which is possibly the furthest he's ever been off bottas in his career.

TheGiantHogweed

Great to see that toto is OK with norris getting his lap back. However if Hamilton was improving enough to beat it and he backed off due to seeing it was deleted, Mercedes may well argue against it.
