Sainz would be incredibly stupid to take the Audi drive over an absolute certain WDC shot in a Red Bull in 2025. If Audi don't get Sainz they'll likely pair 38 year old Hulkenberg with 36 year old Bottas. It's not like the Audi opportunity isn't going to come back around. I completely disagree. "IF...

TBF I made this thread last July and people were saying I should have included Sainz then. I also have not seen anyone make the argument that Hamilton does not now belong in this pool of drivers. Just that perhaps he is slipped a little bit lower in it since last summer.

Enjoy your holiday! All fairly straightforward this week. Went with Bottas and Ricciardo as they were ahead when they retired through no fault of their own. All the other picks are pretty self explanatory.

Rumour has it that an offer to Sainz has already been made by Red Bull but the money side of it is a bit miserly and Sainz wants more. If Sainz turns down Red Bull because of money then we can't be to sad if he ends up with a midfield future at Audi, at least he will have plenty of money. We can be...

The hardest question to figure out right now is who the second best driver on the grid is. There really is no clear answer. I think it's probably Norris. Or Verstappen. ;) As of now I think Verstappen is clearly out front. Maybe, maybe not. A super dominant RB-team and a midfield teammate make that...

Stroll got a smaller penalty for that (he only got 2 licence points) than Alonso got for touch with Sainz yesterday. Absolute insanity.

Some spicy comments from Ricciardo - “I slowly started to calm down and then I was told what Lance thinks of the incident,” he stated. “Apparently, I'm an idiot and it was my fault, so that made my blood boil because it's clear as day and it's also behind a safety car. “The only thing you've got to ...

Norris, Alonso, Hulkenberg

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.

I know it's clearly possible because I've just seen Alonso do it

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...

If Alonso got 3 points for yesterday I can only imagine they'll be giving Magnussen and Stroll race bans.

Are we expecting 1 or 2 stops today?

mikeyg123

Brainless he can't except the limitations of the car, no matter how many times it goes belly up for him he keeps on doing it. It wasn't the bad setup that cost him though. He had pace. He just made a mistake. In the statement he said it made the car worse, he also I believed blamed the mistake on t...

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...

mikeyg123

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 or so it took him to get going there...

mikeyg123

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.

This doesn't really pass the sniff test. We all saw why Hamilton went out. It wasn't because his car was fundamentally too slow it was because he made a mistake at the hairpin which cost him loads of time.

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...

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 racing hard cars are going to touch. Well, it was poor enough for Alonso to get a 10 second penalty despite reti...

mikeyg123

What’s going on here then? It was as good as even last season (with Gasly on a slight edge on points) and most expected Gasly to kick on and beat Ocon this season. But it’s currently 5-0 to Ocon in qualifying (5-1 if you include sprints). Ocon has been the better driver in races too. I think Ocon 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 ...

Frustrating to see Alonso and Hamilton not even try to race Verstappen. Neither of the moves he made on them were gimmies and overtaking was hard today.

It's only a sprint at least actually give it a try.

Do I've just watched sprint qualifying. The fia being absolute fools again in deleting the time of norris and then reinstating the lap time. For what ever reason.
