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...

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...

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 ...

Just noticed that with the major outlier of Hamilton the sprint point scorers all finished in championship order.

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. Hamilton may of backed off with the knowlage that he had that the laptime had initially been deleted. Knowing there was little chance of...

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 genuinely good). At face value I would have agreed with TheGiantHogwee...

Superb from Hamilton. Rolled back the years. Probably the 6th fastest car out there in this session at best. Well, there were 6 teams in the top 10. I wouldn't say that Mercedes were worse than Sauber. All this said, Hamilton was the most impressive driver in the session. They were definitely worse...

Not sure what others think, but I really struggle to tolerate rosberg in commentary. He's OK in the team elsewhere, but him with Crofty is just terrible in my opinion.

I think he's great.

Well liegate was an example of his team throwing him under the bus and then apparently you believe that Hamilton had no right to defend himself. Hamilton causes problems for teams, 6 years at McLaren who then wanted to give him a further contract, followed with 12 years at Mercedes with Hamilton de...

The only ever driver I have truly supported was Alesi and a result when I was a child I had a Ferrari cap.

mikeyg123

I believe that's the second time you've answered that post, going on from that you see that as an example of him causing problems for Ferrari, will Ferrari ever look to put him in that position? I don't see liegate as an example of him causing problems for Ferrari; I see his tendency to throw every...

mikeyg123

Well you know it doesn't really surprise me how you would keep on drumming up something that happened with Hamilton 15 years ago when he allowed himself to be coerced, a strong stance from a neutral observer. "allowed himself to be coerced" is a funny way of framing a grown man lying to the officia...

That is a fair point. Looking at the archived graph that can be found through a link on Wikipedia, that does not appear to be the case here. https://web.archive.org/web/20150521034650/http://classic.wunderground.com/history/airport/LTBA/2008/5/11/DailyHistory.html?req_city=Istanbul&req_state=&req_s...

Well it is kind of puzzling that the fastest laps are not set towards the end of the race. For one, the track will be improving with each lap. Not necessarily. If track temp cools then lap times tend to drop off. That is a fair point. Looking at the archived graph that can be found through a link o...

mikeyg123

Surely that does not apply to the driver in front? As long as there is enough of a gap in front, that driver will not drive to the limit. Again that just shows how you just look to relate things in the past to the F1 you know now, drivers were flat out from the get go and fastest laps could be prod...

F1 does care about image, hence the "bringing the sport into disrepute" True of some FIA & F1 team members. IMO absolutely not true of Liberty. I don't believe that anybody who is invested in or employed by Liberty gives a monkey's rear end about anything other than the money they personally and th...

mikeyg123

I agree, but the trouble is we don’t know all the relevant parameters. We see leaders regularly saving tyres and engines when out in front. Also I think that Räikkönen really enjoyed driving fastest laps, so that itself could influence who collects them. I don't believe that engines and tyres neede...

Ricciardo in 2018, to me, is like signing Sainz (maybe even Alonso) now. He was an upgrade (from everything I've read) over Bottas at the time, just like Sainz (and Alonso) would be an upgrade over Checo now. I think Red Bull are looking for the right young driver, and I think it's pretty clear the...

mikeyg123

And what about Ricciardo? Who you like to point out has beaten both of those drivers. Was he not rated higher than Bottas in 2018? What about Alonso? Mercedes, like RB, passed on him. For next year, maybe RB weren't ready to make a driver decision in mid-April. Or like Mikey had said, maybe they ar...

I'm not sure our corrections was accepted though, the way the member continues with it I would say probably not as he lists liegate as Hamilton pointing fingers at his team, that would be his team that told him to lie or at least one senior member, for some reason what he did to protect himself was...
