It wasn't the bad setup that cost him though. He had pace. He just made a mistake. In the statement he said it made the car worse, he also I believed blamed the mistake on the set up, the self harm is painful to watch I would say for Hamilton fans, also as I said before if not for the Ferrari contr...

well, that qualifying compared to yesterday was a shocking performance from hamilton. Another brainless qualifying strategy focusing more on saving tyres than actually getting through the session, Hamilton has to bear responsibility for this given the amount of last minute attempts we see to get th...

If sainz doesn't get a penalty for that, it will be because it was between teammates. He certainly should get one Just watching it back. Nothing wrong with any of it. Good hard racing. Alonso. Sainz and Leclerc It's how racing should be. I think it was poor by both Alonso and Sainz, Sainz was actua...

Frustrating to see Alonso and Hamilton not even try to race Verstappen. Neither of the moves he made on them were gimmies and overtaking was hard today. It's only a sprint at least actually give it a try. I think Hamilton would be just relieved of the points given his season thus far plus a sprint ...

I think they did the right thing reinstating Norris' lap but that being said it's only sprint qualifying so it's no biggie anyway.

I assume Tsunoda has never driven this track before, definitely not in an F1 car. Oh yeah...good point. But it's true also that Ricciardo has gotten a new chassis too. Ricciardo was close to Tsunoda last time out which I thought already debunked the rogue chassis angle, when Ricciardo was beating V...

Ricciardo having the edge over Tsunoda which could be either because Ricciardo does well at China OR because he has got a new chassis. The session was a bit of a lottery so it's likely Tsunoda didn't get his tyres up to temperature correctly. If DR is again faster by a similar margin in proper qual...

Wow! I knew it was a weak engine, but that's literal lawnmower territory. Might as well have stayed in karts!

I'm guessing 110HP, Max Verstappen has come out and said the cars are very slow and he's not sure how well they prepare the Ladies if they look to step up.

Wolff: "We managed to make a change in the regulations in FRECA that got our driver a fourth entry and reduced the steering load."

Sainz over Perez is not so clear cut decision, especially how RB#2s struggled in the past. Most likely he will have a similar performance as a 'relaxed Perez' (vs the 'I can be a champion' Perez of last year) And, you are still ignoring things you don't like for your version of the history. RB repo...

It does not matter what I project, the scenario will play out the same regardless whether Red Bull is dominant or not. There is an upside if the car itself becomes less competitive, but currently we don't have any evidence of that. If anything, having the competition catch up it becomes all the mor...

I don't see liegate as an example of him causing problems for Ferrari; I see his tendency to throw everyone but him under the bus when things go wrong to cause problems for him and for Ferrari (but mostly for him). I would be shocked if his public and unreasonable criticism of the team goes unchall...

"allowed himself to be coerced" is a funny way of framing a grown man lying to the officials.

Having just Verstappen as the (vastly) better driver will work out better the WDC and will work out worse for the WCC if RB no longer has the outright fastest car.

Except for the bit in bold, nothing else is relevant to the point I made. As for the bit in bold, a grown man cheating because someone told him to do so reflects really poorly on that man.

I can literally carbon copy the answer from above. Again, you have to explain to me what the actual upside for Red Bull is. From 2022 onwards, the team with Verstappen has won every race the team could possibly with the exception of one or two races and won both the WDC and WCC. The gain, if any, i...

I agree, but the trouble is we don’t know all the relevant parameters. We see leaders regularly saving tyres and engines when out in front. Also I think that Räikkönen really enjoyed driving fastest laps, so that itself could influence who collects them. I don't believe that engines and tyres neede...

Verstappen does not need protecting at all. Perhaps it is time that you put your cards on the table and explain what possibly could be in it for Red Bull to sign either Hamilton or Alonso at their advanced stages of their career and with a hefty price tag along with it in particular in the case of ...

I think Alonso is to Mercedes and Lewis as Lewis is to Red Bull and Max. Again the overall point is that Red Bull isn't acting any differently than the dominant team that preceded them (obviously no two situations spanning several years will ever be exactly the same). I wouldn't disagree with that ...

Ricciardo in 2018, to me, is like signing Sainz (maybe even Alonso) now. He was an upgrade (from everything I've read) over Bottas at the time, just like Sainz (and Alonso) would be an upgrade over Checo now. I think Red Bull are looking for the right young driver, and I think it's pretty clear the...

Not in the same vein that Lewis has repeatedly done over the years. Pretty much since the start of his career if you're honest. When the going is good he's a great team man for the PR, but the moment things go south Lewis is quick to start pointing fingers. It's a pattern throughout his career, whe...

Then why continue. You're not going to convince him are you. All your now doing is generating more negative posts about Hamilton. If you ignore it you won't have to read anymore. I will choose to correct false accusation. OK, just seems weird to me that having done that you would continue to amplif...

I would say that Sainz's stock presently is higher, he's actually beating his teammate, also the fact he seems a lot closer to signing for Mercedes than Red Bull points to Perez being retained for next year. Verstappen himself said that Red Bull should recruit from within so that kind of rules out ...

Probably a bit unlucky to find himself out of a seat after 2019 but Hulk has had a great career renaissance after spending three years out of the sport.
