Don't forget to factor in that inncidents in the first fee corners of the first lap are treated less harshly.

Ok there's nothing he could have done to control the car but he did gain an advantage from going off the track i.e. failed to loose a place. He could have give the place to LH then tried to repass. I think Ferrari have lost a bit of their tactical savvie in this reguard, rather than await a Merc app...

Their resiliance into not being a no.2 team or a manufacturer team while admirable will probably end them. The racing technology side seems to be doing ok. It will be sad to see them go, but plenty of other historied and great names have gone before.

Well if it were Haas today 'that's fine Roman keep going as normal'
Data says your not using enough power exiting 17 Nelson?

Its the depth of knowing I suppose, novel strategy hoping for a safety car, but today's Alonso yoi coukd almost see in the centre of the discussion.

To me there is always that lingering question, did Alonso know? Did Flavio deliberately keep him out of it to protect his valued asset? Difficult to remember what he was like back than, but he'd have surely questioned the strategy? Would the Alonso of 10 years ago have easily been deflected with 'lo...

Got to be fair, I was half expecting Vettel to hit Lewis with a chair!

Yes F1 doesn't have a history of admiting they were wrong, and are unlikely to say yep that ducks let's got back to last year. There have been plenty of qualifying formats that have been tried and then dumped over the years. And never once did they return to the previous system, if memory serves. E...

I'd like to see it retried but rather than being eliminated straight away, if your on a hot lap you get a chance to complete it. But what was wrong with the old system.

Makes me thing of a quite from good morning Vietnam "Sucks the sweat off a dead man's balls, I've no idea what that means but it sounds pretty negative"

Haha Wolf decries this current quality format as pretty rubbish

At least let cars complete a lap before being thrown out. The albitrary 90 seconds is just dumb.

I've not posted here for bloody years and the quality system is so bloody awful it's brought me back. Worst idea since that single lap *Definitely True* from a decade ago.

This radio traffic rule seems as stupid, unrealistic and as unenforceable as the old no teams orders one.

It should be questioned if pieces of construction equipment, tale handlers front loaders etc are the most appropriate things to be at the side of the track. Perhaps if possible cars should be recovered by more remote equipment jib cranes, winches mounted on vehicles behind the safety barriers etc. y...

All I can say is I hope I'm reading the state of the car in these pics totally wrong.

I havn;' posted here for 2-3 years? I took me 4 attempts to remember my login. But I just have to say OMFG!!!! Why stop with the final race every weekend after quali lets have a suitable top heavy loverly spin Bernie's wheel of fortune to decide what happens in the race on sunday, double points, rev...
