Marshall running across a live track. Another safety problem in F1.

You get the feeling that too many Marshall's are not versed in the safety history of the sport.

Not great great from Kvyat that.

Honestly, as much as he always gets caught up in trouble, both these, trouble found him. He didn't really do anything wrong both incidents

Poignant that they showed images of Verstappen giving his bootlaces a good firm tie, as Grosrean lost a boot in his escape from the crash

da4an1qu1

If the race does restart wouldn’t they be better doing a rolling start instead of standing restart so there’s less chance of something like that happening again. Turns 1,2 and 3 are asking for trouble in the mid pack I hope not. A race start is just part of racing. Unfortunate that there was such a...

Why does the medical car look like it's dropped it's coolant??? They had shots of it parked, and sky commentators were discussing that it had been checked. But they didn't seem to notice the coloured liquid which appears to have spilt from it. Which I speculate is coolant

da4an1qu1

I think I read that Grosrean bristled at Tost's suggestion of a drivers salary cap, saying that F1 drivers are the one's risking their lives. If so... that he would be the one to have a crash that so starkly reminds all of that is.... at the very least eery

He knew who Franz Tost is. He was just being petulant. Even if he didn't know, when the realisation came that he was being disrespectful, even inadvertently, he should have owned that immediately. Apologised, claimed a moment of brain fade or something. It's a disappointing lack of humility. The on...

https://www.bbc.com/news/av/uk-54985239 I like this Lewis a lot more than other forms of activist Lewis. I acknowledge that it's a tight-rope walk when you engage in activism, and sometimes you will get it wrong (at least in my view). But his approach here is right. It's very difficult to get a read...

That was one of the most enjoyable qualifying sessions I've watched live

da4an1qu1

Very good drive by Ricciardo. Perez is a very good racer too. Criminally underrated

da4an1qu1

Probably time to start discussing who will replace Albon from Imola *correction* Portugal. IMO he may have sealed his fate in this Eifel GP.

da4an1qu1

Albon is out of his element. Nice guy, but his head is a mess, complaining about hard racing. I can only imagine Marko's reaction to that comment... It's over for Albon as of this race. No demotion, he'll go straight out IMO

da4an1qu1

Nice diss by Lewis to his team-mate, by going to the 1st place box before Botas instead of the 3rd place box to rifle thru the rags making Valtteri wait...... (real classy). Didn't Bottas go to the wrong box after qualifying yesterday? (Took the the time to reply yesterday on tape here) NO, he did ...

Perez, Giovinazzi and the obligatory race winner Bottas nudging out a nearly deserving Leclerc

da4an1qu1

Will be a travesty if Perez does not have a drive next year. He's a much better driver than many a number of drivers. Perhaps even race winners

da4an1qu1

Perez looking like driver of the day for me

Honorable mention Leclerc and Giovinazzi

da4an1qu1

So the absurdity of the VSC and the bollards... How tempting would it be for a team to do a Singapore 2009 lite, and deliberately force a safety car with a clumsy anhilation of the bollards

da4an1qu1

Not a certainty, but Ocon may have cost Ricciardo and their Renault team a shot at Perez.

I don't know what happened to my other post, but the T-Shirt... *in a podium ceremony* is definitely a political statement.

I am actually warm to Hamilton. I know he absolutely means well. But this is a misguided move by him. Very distasteful.

Fine, and I'm sure he'll get a fine. Not sure too many of us are that bothered. I'm certainly not.

I am very bothered by it. I can't talk to how many are.

da4an1qu1

I can take the BLM writing on the helmet, I can take the activism... but the political slogan at a podium ceremony is not activism. It is a stunt. It's boneheaded. And I am not a white male. *edit* not white at all. Can we please, please, leave the overt politics out of at least the podium ceremonies?

da4an1qu1

These same reports name Giovanazzi as a potential replacement.... There's more chance of Binotto driving the car himself I know where you are coming from, but it isn't that far fetched. If Leclerc establishes himself as the clear number one, and Ferrari's penchant for running a "rear gunner"/number...

I've been meaning to post this for a while. I've been preempted somewhat with the BBC's latest story linking Hamilton with Ferrari ( https://www.bbc.com/sport/formula1/50617286 ). It's not a new idea that Hamilton might at some point end up at Ferrari... but here is my thinking with this poll. As yo...

I'm happy for Sainz but if the rules explicitly state that the DRS shall not be used during yellows, then it's a clear cut penalty IMO. I think their reasoning for not handing one was that he slowed down even though he used DRS... Do you have the details on this? Is there at replay somewhere showin...

The speed advantage Seb had over Charles along that straight, if he'd have kept it straight for another half a second or so, he'd have cleared Charles cleanly and not needed to move across at all. Charles was positioned too well. I'm sure Seb could see that, was anxious, and was trying to reclaim t...

Torpedo is back again at it. IN Mexico, he crashes into Hulk on the last corner of the last lap. In U.S., he crashes into Perez on the last lap. He gets a penalty for both collisions.

Will Bottas race? I don't know what the protocol is around who determines if a driver is fit enough to drive but given the impact, the audible heavy breathing from Valterri after on the radio, I would be surprised if he raced.

Very disappointing. And not a good look for Renault given their history in the sport, and the wider Nissan-Renault group dramas. I do wonder what Ricciardo is thinking in all this mess. I didn't disagree greatly with the move from Red Bull... but before the summer break, if he was still there, there...

Re Leclerc driving with a damaged car. Ferrari were asked to put and said they would and then they didn't pit. If true I think that should be a DQ. Leclerc had to hold his mirror on with his hand at one point, which when it fell off nearly hit Hamilton. I don't normally go with the F(errari)IA angl...

The typhoon will either hit Suzuka on Saturday or not at all. So worst case is a postponed qualifying (unless the typhoon trashes the circuit) This isn’t typhoon season in Japan, that’s usually the spring, the summer would be far too hot to have a race during, making this time of year the best.
