Re: 2022 Brazilian Grand Prix Race Thread

Yep bang on. Honestly, whats Perez going to do? Jeoperdise his drive with RB, & with it a chance for the odd win/ podium here & there by refusing to be the lap dog anymore ? There's plenty of drivers out there of, or better than, Perez's calibre out there ready to take his seat. What are RB going t...

I know it was a rule 5 or so years ago but the last couple years the dummy pit stop has been happening a lot. I'm guessing they changed the rule but I never heard it announced.

Re: 2018 Italian Grand Prix Race Thread

I think they possibly got sold the dummy by Mercedes when their pit crew came out but neither Merc driver came in. That coincided exactly with Kimi making his stop and I can't help but feel they're connected. I'm just surprised not more was made of it at the time as I thought it was illegal to do t...
