Would give an honorable mention to Max and possibly to Charles depending how bad his car was hurt in the turn 1 collision with Checo.

Re: The illustrious five second penalty

I would wonder what the logistics would be of implementing a long lap section of track at all of the various F1 tracks around the world. I'm sure they'd be significant, and I also don't see the point. The drivethrough is a long lap already. Give it to people that break the rules. Big difference. A ...

Re: FIA clamping down on flexi-wings after Monza

I have to wonder if the FIA's clamp down on the flexi-wings had something to do with RBR's lack luster performance in Quali today??

Has the flexi-wing been responsible for a significant portion of their performance advantage over the last few seasons???

Re: The illustrious five second penalty

The 5 second penalty is a lazy man's long lap, which would be infinitely better if they introduced it This. Should be a long lap, served with 3 laps of the notice being issued And if they don't serve it, they are disqualified - no "taking the hit" option. If there are < 3 laps remaining, it's +5 se...

I disagree. Piastri is on the inside because that's where he started. He didn't go for a gap. He was never not in the gap. Sainz locked up trying to dive down the inside of Hamilton and then cut in hard allowing Piastri no space. The accident, if caused by anybody, was caused by Sainz. Going into t...

Looks like Mick Schumacher will be required to go to a backup chassis after hitting the wall after the checkered flag in FP1 at Suzuka.

Evidently one of the tires swung back upon impact and cracked the upper section of the chassis.
