That 7UP Jordan is a beaut...

I thought that Valtteri put in a uniquely poor showing today at the 2021 British Grand Prix. He started off by letting both Charles and Lando by at the start. He took way too long to repass Lando and then spent the rest of the race having nothing for Charles in the Ferrari. When Lewis was taken down...

Mort Canard

The 10 second penalty that Lewis got for the first lap incident seems very much in line with the other penalties that the FIA and the stewards have been handing out this year. The thing is, I think hamilton is the first one to get a penalty in the first lap in the last couple of years (excluding fa...

Ooh only 1 win away now right?

Yeah, sitting on ninety nine.

Mort Canard

Everyone wants to see side by side, elbows out racing and that's what we had on lap 1. Sooner or later someone was going to lose it.

Now we have a whole bunch of folks complaining that we had a great battle and their favorite lost.

Mort Canard

Lewis, Lando, & Charles.

Mort Canard

Fait accompli.

Freddy and Kimi both benefited from the "Sprint Race" by improving their grid positions. Checo pulled a bonehead move and a dangerous re-entry. and cost himself about 15 grid positions for tomorrow. Other than that it was sort of a non-event for me. I am not a fan of the Sprint Race idea for F1 even...

Mort Canard

Kimi and Freddy!

Honorable mention to Esteban and Max.

Bonehead moves of the session go to Nikita and Checo.

Hamilton as everyone thought it was a foregone conclusion for Verstappen.

Shout out to Russell.

This!!!

Mort Canard

Norris, Sainz, and Russell.

I thought Ricciardo did a very good job today from a miserable starting spot.

Max is in a world of his own but he probably has the best car now.

Mort Canard

Very hard to decide between Lando and George. Both outperformed magnificently!!!

Mort Canard

Verstappen, Norris, Russell.

Mort Canard

Yuki Tsunoda goes P5 in FP3.

Is this the start of some stronger performance for the young driver???

Mort Canard

I started out thinking that Ricciardo was the most disappointing driver this year. After the French GP I have to revise my vote and say Botttas is the most disappointing driver. Valtteri's head is just getting into a worse and worse place. Still Ricciardo even on his best day today he's still slowe...

Mort Canard

The only pic that was not an easy choice for me was Norris over Ricciardo. I gave it to Lando but I think that Daniel is starting to get comfortable in the McLaren and I don't think that Lando will be able to just run away from Daniel like he has most of this year. With a much stronger Daniel and a ...

I was glad to see that Daniel is only just over a tenth of a second behind Lando today. Hopefully Daniel is getting used to the McLaren.

Mort Canard

Carlos Jr!!! Everyone thought that Leclerc would dominate Sainz. I am guessing that by the end of the year that Carlos will have put a lot of pressure on Charles and Ferrari will have a real team mate battle on their hands. Hopefully they don't start asking one or the other driver to sacrifice their...

Mort Canard

Remember in 2018 when Valtteri Bottas was leading in Baku by over a second and had a puncture on the main straight not so far from where Max and Lance had their trouble. Makes me wonder what it might be about that part of the track that seems to foster tire failure.

Mort Canard

I spent about 15 years as a nationally licensed Flagging and Communications worker. I worked mostly club races but also a number of IMSA and Motorcycle road races. It can be a lot of fun you get to see some great racing. Eventually I found that I was getting burned out by spending a dozen or more we...

Congrats to Helio Castroneves, Alex Palou, & Simon Pagenaud.

Mort Canard

Wow, the man upstairs really looking down on Rahal and others there as the improperly attached left rear wheel on the pit outlap sends him hurtling across the track in front of the leaders......... Go Castroneves!!! We got lucky as Conor Daly hit the loose wheel (at reduced speed) punting it into t...

The Penske drivers have had a pretty bad month of May. Grid positions are as follows: Scott McLaughlin - 17th, Joseph Newgarden - 21st, Simon Pagenaud - 26th, and WILL POWER - 32nd. ....but all four of the Penske pilots made the top ten on carb day practice (presumably in race trim) Power and Pagena...

Mort Canard

My first instinct to solving the Monaco problem is to reduce the size of the cars to what they were about 30 years ago.

Reduce both the width and the length.

Never mind wingmen. After this weekend, what Bottas needs are wingnuts.

Mort Canard

Hard for me to argue with the three guys on the podium. None of then had a gimme race. Verstappen, Sainz, & Norris. Honorable mention to Vettel. Hopefully Seb is now getting accustomed to the Aston Martin and can start putting up some decent results. Would love to see Seb get a podium yet this year.

Mort Canard

. I don't understand why Leclerc's problem wasn't spotted earlier. Presumably he was in Free Practice 3 and Ferrari could have monitored the gear box behaviour ? To do FP3, and then fail on an positioning lap seems very odd. . Charley's crash was in Q3 not FP3. There was no session between Q3 and t...

Mort Canard

Well we are definitely into the parade phase of the GP. Waiting for anyone to try anything.

Mort Canard

The rear wings are also monitored by cameras which let's the stewards know if the load tests are actually fit for purpose, in this instance seeing how much the rear wings are flexing on some cars they have realised that's not the case so a new test is to be introduced after the next race. It's writ...

Mort Canard

Sainz, Bottas, & Norris.

It's a real shame that we didn't get to see what the last round of fast laps would have produced.

Leclerc was obviously fast all weekend so far but he is also the one who brought out the red flag at the height of Q3.

Mort Canard

Fastest eight drives on Friday.

1 Scott Dixon
2 Colton Herta
3 Tony Kanaan
4 Marcus Ericsson
5 Alex Palou
6 Pato O'Ward
7 Alexander Rossi
8 Takuma Sato

Tomorrow we start with Qualifications!!!

Just FP1 - let's wait until qualifying before celebrating a RBR/Ferrari resurgence.

This was FP2!!!

Maz ahead of Mick in both sessions. I wonder if they were running different programmes and tyres.

....and now Mick bangs the wall and the session is stopped!!

...and Haas evidently has a special mode for punctures???

Either at Williams or out of F1. Seats are too competitive and after the last round of musical chairs, drivers will all be settling in nicely to their teams for the foreseeable future. If both Vettel and Raikkonen retire, there will be more than enough open seats to start another round of musical c...

Mort Canard

If this keeps up, I could forsee Romain running a full schedule next year.

There is some real depth of talent in the Indycar field this year. Drivers like Dixon, Power, and Newgarden are going to have to work very hard to hold of the crop of young drivers.
