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 ...

Wheeeeeeeeey

Feels like theres something at play here, is this a verstappen pressured sacking as RB try to keep hold of him?

Just saying - Sauber have outscored Red Bull in the last 4 Grand Prix (35-29).

Ive said this previously also, Red bull are in big trouble if Max leaves

I agree with 10s being too harsh, should have been 5secs with the mitigating factor being that the call to bring the SC in happened very late, and so Oscar went from being in a position where he needed to catch the SC up and suddenly needing to create a gap to release the SC with barely any time to...

Usually at the start of a new lap or just a few turns in we would come to know the SC is coming in but was the SC decision made real late or only we viewers got informed late. When the SC with the cars appeared on the Hangar Straight, that's when it got announced the SC is coming in. When the light...

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

I think hes a bit of a mess in the wet, judging by today and Brazil last year

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

If he actuslly did then he will get a penalty i think

FormulaFun

Yeah don't think Hulkenberg will be able to maintain podium position now Hamilton is too quick

Hulkenberg get his first podium today?

That'd be wicked, i think he needs to get passed stroll otherwise Hamilton might be a threat

FormulaFun

I do have a bit of sympathy for piastri here, seemed like he was trying to catch back up with the SC then theee was a late call to bring the SC in so its lights went off and Piastri slowed as he was then in charge of creating a sufficient gap to the SC so it was out the way for the restart

FormulaFun

I think Piastri should he penalised for thst based on the 1 replay ive seen.

Big mistake from verstappen also

Are we seeing the tactic of staying on inters until people start going off, getting race red flagged - when could be avoided by using full wets? I find this scenario maddening every time it occurs. Yeah the wet tyres are unusable because if its raining enough for full wets then it means a red flag ...

I dont see it raining this weekend tbh, maybe a small drizzle that would quickly dry off

Probably is gonna happen, no smoke without fire as they say If Max already knows that there's a deal on the table for him to move to Mercedes then it might also explain why he was so calm with Kimi and so easy going in his interview - knowing that they'll both be under contract at Mercedes next yea...

FormulaFun

A nice addition to the rumour mill ... According to Sky Sport Italy, Verstappen has already “said yes” to Toto Wolff and is “close” to joining Mercedes following “concrete negotiations”. However, the report adds that the Mercedes board has "not yet approved the decisive move". https://www.crash.net...

Lol somehow dropping it out the final corner isnt a mistake now, mad world I guess the thinking is that he was going to lose all those positions anyways with the hards. So him pushing in between was just a calculated risk. Only thing he could avoid was the obvious incident which wasnt a driving rel...

Clearly. When a driver starts calling out how great his overtake is and does that repeatedly, it demonstrates behaviour. This episode is entirely in character. Right.. what did say about doing a great overtake on the radio and I'll show you another driver doing the exact same thing. Really seems li...

:lol: :lol: :lol: You actually think that when he was saying "talk to me" he was asking him team to come on he radio and tell him how great he is rather than if he was on pole or not? Clearly.

I don't know if any of you heard the radio communications on the cooldown lap after Q3. "Talk to me, talk to me" because the team was not on the radio quick enough to laud his performance. I have never heard a driver being so self-congratulatory as Russell. Calling out his own overtakes, it is just...

People have always gotten really weird about Russell. The fact that he actually tried to beat Hamilton seemed to cause great offence. For me it was an interview that Russell was flaunting his "victory" over Hamilton that I found it a bit... bad taste. I don't know if any of you heard the radio comm...

This is actually explained in the clip... https://streamable.com/qnmo41 I played with audio, Russell says, "I've got the yellow flag delta. I am following the delta. am following the delta. The SC has pulled away from the delta". Clearly Russell had two things going on, a delta time he must follow ...

Was the second video in the pitlane? The stewards report (point 16) talks about a degree of tolerance for being ten car lengths behind the SC. Curiously, this was not mentioned when Checo was penalized. He also did it in the incident with Max. https://streamable.com/wercsd Both of them are exiting ...
