Eugh. Crofty and Chandock are painful to listen to. Getting their little peckers up over Fp2 :lol: :lol: :lol: Why are you so annoyed? Because they're both horrendous to listen to. Chandocks boring voice and crofty dick riding Mercedes anytime they have a sniff of being near the front. Can't wait f...

The thing I couldn't figure out was why Red Bull didn't tell Verstappen to give first place back, he was alongside and nothing more. In the end it didn't matter, but once again the SC was far too influential. Vegas got what Vegas apparently wanted, so happy bank accounts all round? I think the mess...

Not watched the race so no comment on any of that from me but I’ve just looked at the standings. Ferrari are only four points behind Mercedes again now. I’d expect Ferrari to be stronger again in Abu Dhabi so we could be on for a late position swap there. Alonso is back above Norris and level with ...

the thing is - i feel that russell will have passed Leclerc if Leclerc himself didn't also break too late and go off track. While he got pushed by verstappen, I don't think Leclerc wasn't at fault a bit too for going wide. Although it serves nothing, i still don't quite see how verstappen should ha...

For himself. At the point when Verstappen overtook he had been gaining very slowly and launched an overtake from miles back. It was easily defendable. At that point in the race Verstappen overtaking was not a gimmie. We know with hindsight that Verstappen was almost certainly always going to beat N...

I'm a bit weirded out that the FIA didn't decide, after 50% of the random samples showed up a very rare failure on two different teams cars, that they didn't decide to test the whole field, not least on safety grounds. Surely that would help at least understand what the cause was, as if it was some...

Ah Americans. As classy and crass as ever

As opposed to the absolute class that Max oozes week after week?

Lando Norris, always the bridesmaid....never the bride. Your time will come. He's the next big thing imo. Better than Max under pressure and faster than Russell. Just needs to get himself into a competitive car and he'll deliver. Norris is a midfield driver, he doesn't have pressure. Battling for a...

How did Perez not get a penalty for driving into the side of Albon near the end ?

Same way Max didn't yesterday - Red Bull are flavour of the month at the FIA now

I think Hamilton might have had the same issue as Russell to be fair. He’d have caught Norris earlier I agree, but would have been in a drs train like Russell was. He clearly went with a much more racey setup than George who focused on qualifying - plus Lewis actually has some talent and it wouldn'...

I think Mercedes will look elsewhere for Hamilton's successor after today. Russell looked second best in crunch time and then blew it completely.

Look no further than the second step of today's podium

Any word on whether or not Gasly picked up penalty points for the pit lane speeding? Can't seem to find anything on this at the moment. And, the silence is deafening regarding the latest FIA stuff-up (not allowing Tsunoda to unlap himself). I think it's quite obvious Gasly was trying to pick up tho...

For the sake of 1 position he lost any good will Perez had for him. Lack of foresight in my opinion. Otherwise a good race and a deserved win for Russell; his spin in qualifying assisted him but he made the most of it. He'll be on Max's list for spinning in Qualifying - will be a horses head in his...

"are we clear on that?" Unbelievable arrogance. You're an employee Max. He won't be getting any favours from Perez next year that's for sure. True colours well and truly revealed. Max the better driver, but Sergio the better person, no question.. Things like this massively damage the brand of Red B...

The bias on here is very strange. The stewards found it was Max at fault. Max was about a 1/4 car length aside at the braking zone - he was only alongside at the corner because he didn't actually slow down or brake. Guess what lads - if you don't brake in a braking zone you will be alongside someone...

Not sure why anyone is surprised - Red Bull are notorious cheaters, nothing different here. Probably spent the last weeks "stakeholder managing" the FIA and screaming in their faces to get their own way too.

And in 9 out of 10 cases, the applied deliberation incidentally suits RB ... This is the crux of it. There's been stewarding farces most weekends since Silverstone 2021. Every single time, a certain team benefits from this. Funny that, isn't it? Ah, so that's the reason for the overtaking guidance ...

Ah, so that's the reason for the overtaking guidance change for this year, is it? Just so Monza 2021 wouldn't happen again? :? In your minority opinion given at the time on this board. Minority opinion or not, the rules were changed for this year, and my view then is now the rule... But my slightly...

What an absolute shambles. To top it all off, all reports are indicating that RB have breached the 2022 budget cap too, so we're going to go back through this shambles this time next year as well. Sorry, but finances should be monitored and submit on a period by period basis at the time, thus allow...

FIA F1 Rules: 1. blah 2. blah blah 3. blah blah blah 102003201. We reserve to change any other the above rules, if we decide it may be good for viewing numbers. Last year it was found in the rules that the stewards basically have carte blanche on how to interpret the rules hence why we tend to have...

Congrats to Max, I just found out he won the title. No fault of Max, but the FIA have made a complete farce in both of his title winning races. Commercial decisions. Max was always going to win so it doesn’t really matter but the context of Perez’s penalties in Singapore and then Leclerc this week ...

Did I say it wasn't in the rule book? You read the rules of a sport more closely than anyone I've ever met my in life, in person or online, and even you've said you didn't realise.

It's funny how if you remove Max Verstappen from the equation, you can actually have great close and CLEAN racing. I'm gutted for Charles. Jesus that season is painful. Really..? In what way has Max been dirty (compared to others) this season? Amusing that you included the “this season” clarificati...

The stewarding is really shocking. Yet again, another great race but there’s talk about the stewards. No idea why they reset the restart when they have failed to do so many times in the past, including the double red flag in Jeddah 2021.

Can only see a Sainz win here. Charles and Max is a disaster waiting to happen - hopefully someone puts the charity champion back in his box pronto this season.
