I think McLaren could potentially be tying the noose with which they're going to hang themselves with. If we go back 2 races where, although Piastri was comfortably ahead of Norris all race, Norris, unintentionally, reaped the benefits an alternate pit strategy & although there was ample time to swa...

Jezza13

Norris is just not a smart driver. The only way you lose to Piastri is if he undercuts you, and then he had a slow stop. He had the choice of pitting first and willingly gave that up. Madness. If I were Piastri I wouldn't have given up that place True. The audacity of the team asking the driver to ...

From a few weeks ago

Look on the bright side. Shorter races will allow us time to see more celebrity shots & interviews as well as allowing the teenage girls more time to make Tik Tok videos, because ya know, that's what F1 is all about.

I don't see people complaining about technical collusion. Not now, which surprises me. When Red Bull was dominant however... I repeat why would anyone think that, Red Bull had a dominant car, VCARB had a poor car, the only technical collusion I could think of was in 2020 with the pink Mercedes, Mer...

Which is also very random, I don't recall this being said in particular where we see Red Bull winning tiles while VCARB have had a very poor car. Have your forgotten when the cost cap came in?

Just a slight tangent here.

Noticed Battle Far hasn't posted for a while (Late May) & we're all familiar with the health issues he was dealing with.

I sincerely hope he's doing ok & is just taking a short break.

That's just poor from Antonelli. Just too eager
F1 shouldn't be a finishing school.

F1 has been a finishing school for years. That’s pretty much the purpose of toro Rosso/Alpha Tauri/ Vcarb isn’t it?

Seeing the Racing Bulls car so close to the Red Bull, I thought it is interesting to see nobody claims that the second team is working for the first anymore.

Do you think Hadjar would’ve been allowed to challenge Verstappen for the podium if he could get close enough?

Jezza13

While picking Bottas & Perez makes sense for Cadillac, I do have admit, on a personal level, I was very much enjoying not hearing or reading about "Checo" 100 times a weekend. Not the guy mind you, although i've never really be a fan of his, just the name.

Oh well, it was nice while it lasted.

Palmer was right. Tsunoda really should have stayed put at his previous team. Just look at Lawson so easily seeming to out perform him.

I'm not sure they get a choice do they?

Red Bull's motorsport advisor Dr. Helmut Marko also commented on Horner's departure on Sky Sport : "Oliver Mintzlaff made the decision.

Apologies if someone has already mentioned this, but I reckon there's one major, no, huge, advantage RB have over almost every other team & the biggest clue, well, there's 2 actually, was his recent Nürburgring run.

Other than Horner not stepping aside when the scandal broke last year, which may have cost the team Newey and that would count as an enormous mistake , I don't really see what he has done recently which was wrong. Yes, the car has not performed, and ultimately that is his responsibility, but he doe...

In the real sense, Horner then isn't sacked?

In other words, "How's those azaleas in your garden looking Christian? Maybe they need a bit of attention".

Just to add to Horners grief, his first wife, Beverly, sadly passed away under 2 weeks ago.

Horner's speech breaking the news to the team.

Seems there's a lot of people within the team who are upset Horner's gone

Jezza13

This is useful from the BBC: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/articles/ceq7z05ype7o Horner has made several obviously poor decisions in the last couple of years but it also gives the impression of a team scared to upset the Verstappen camp. This touches on an element i definitely think is true ...

Jezza13

If this is the price of keeping Verstappen then I’m not sure it’s a great move by Red bull to give Verstappen and his camp that much power. I think Horner is more important to Red Bull than Verstappen. I can see Horner to Ferrari happening. Lets not forget a similar thing, though nowhere near this ...

I've not seen this mentioned anywhere but one thing that did raise a question in my mind was the safety car deployment of the rain.

I was expecting much closer race, it was easy 1-2 for Mclaren. Amazing result for Hulk as well. Max for some reason after SC was not much better than midfield teams. Leclerc and Yuki had another shocker. The McLaren is just too good at moment ,even in the last race while others are trying to contro...

Piastri is a little unlucky today. He had a big lead wiped out with the SC, and whilst I think the penalty call is probably right, I can see why it happened from his perspective - he scrubbed too much speed though. I think 10s is on the harsh side. Been a lot of chat about Russell doing similar rec...

Bone head of the day goes to Piastri. That dumb safety car move cost him the race. Considering what's on the line & the race position he was in, totally unnecessary, totally stupid.

Terrible driving from both Norris and Piastri. Yet these are the two drivers fighting it out for the WDC. Not going to be a vintage year by any measure. Disagree with that strongly. I dont think either are properly elite tier drivers, but they drove well and giving a title fight. I think it comes d...
