Re: Halo credited for saving life in F2 race
If halo was responsible for saving life in this accident, then can anyone remind me when the last fatal accident happened, during which driver was killed after being struck in their head/body by competitor's tyre/wings/floor, well, car in general? Because I've watched, most of them live, so many acc...

Re: Sergio Perez and Esteban Ocon
Watch the start again. After a desperate lunge at Ocon, Perez nearly tags the back of him and has to back out. Then he gets swamped by Sainz and Stroll. Next thing Sirotkin knows he's got a face full of Perez's Force India. Sirotkin may have gone in hot to that corner, but there wouldn't have been ...

Re: Sergio Perez and Esteban Ocon
I think Ocon has improved relative to Perez, on balance I would have said he was the better performing driver before this weekend. I blame both drivers for the first lap carnage - Ocon 100% at fault for his retirement and Perez triggered the Sirotkin mess by trying to get aggressive with Ocon (agai...

Re: Vettel's penalty - fair?
Too lenient. Should've been black flag + one race ban + probation for 12 months.
The same penalty that Maldonado should receive (twice, with second one much, much harsher), but we all know that stewards have no integrity and money rules the world.
