Still a fair few empty seats

Red Bull should absolutely walk it reliability issues aside.

Flash2k11

Yeah that's probably how it will pan out however first rule of thumb should be to beat your teammate but I'm not sure that Hamilton really cares which is the frustrating part. He cares when it matters, that was fairly obvious this morning when he was gapping Alonso. Watching him non-defend against ...

Some decent racing at the end but nothing should disguise just how fast that Red Bull is going to be tomorrow - Perez was catching Hamilton hand over fist once he got into third. Gonna be some tears in the Ferrari debrief - if Leclerc thinks Sainz is fighting him overly hard, I think he might be in ...

Wasn't the worst, wasn't the best. Looking at it through the Liberty hyperbole machine, it was a huge disappoinment. As a standard race weekend, it was ok, trending to good. The track itself is fairly bland but has enough about it to produce a good race - how much of this race was down to the temps ...

AT were also flattered by having new softs to burn through, though they clearly have made a jump.

Dont think DRS was to blame for most of the overtakes, tyres were clearly an issue from quite early on.

Time flies....

Anybody heard/know anything about Blake? As much as I loved arguing with the guy, the place hasn't been the same since he tailed off, was a proper link between all 3 eras of the forum.

Speaking of Russell, he beaches his car which secures him 3rd for the sprint race by ruining all the other drivers laps, yet if you just block one driver in one corner you're going to get penalised, such are the nonsensical rules. There's no rule against beaching your car. I know that's why I calle...

Pretty shocked Red Bull didn't swap Verstappen and Perez at the end.... I guess helping Max getting most wins in a season is worth more to RB than Perez getting second in the WDC, although that is admittedly probably a done deal too. This was probably the best sprint race so far, still not a fan tho...

The only experience I can share with you is through the experience of my best mate who happens to be part Hungarian and has visited the track on several occasions. Chances are, its going to be seriously hot, so i'd plan around that in advance. As for your tickets, admission is usually for the entire...

Not entirely relevant, but de Angelis was one of the 'good' guys in the sport. He had a lot more to give before his time was cut short.

Without casual fans, there is no F1. There is a reason the Sky coverage is dumbed down to the common denominator and that is because there are far more 'casuals' than there are like us. We are in the minority, which is why we seek places like this forum to discuss wheras the average Sky watcher just...

Daniel Bruhl was absolutely spot on, a fantastic performance.

Was a good film, takes a lot of liberties with what actually happened though.

Then you might have the crazy situation of these drivers binning the cars causing enormous expense on the budget cap, maybe putting a limitation on spare parts for the race drivers, nominally certainly with the top teams you might just see them filling the cars full of fuel like Red Bull did with V...

Yeah it's looking like it's going to happen but it won't be announced until Bottas finds a seat I believe, Bottas' Manager was in talks with Fred Vasseur (Alfa Romeo), in the Mercedes motorhome. Wolff and Vasseur are best mates, if there is a deal to be done, i'm sure that will help grease the whee...

Vettels been called to the stewards because of the top he wore during the national anthem. Pathetic from the FIA. Last year they backed everyone wearing the BLM t-shirts but Vettel trying to show support for the LGBTQ+ in a country where the abuse of them is happening is ridiculous. I had to drive ...

This is incorrect though, the FIA made it clear that they do not take into account the consequences, only the act itself to decide who's responsible for the incident. That's the correct way to assess a penalty, IMO. Too bad I don't believe them. I think they take into account not only the result, b...

Honestly, I think the pair of them knew what they were doing. This has been coming for a few races at least, and even moreso after the sprint race. Lewis has learnt that discretion is the better part of valour, and has been getting out of the way more often than not when invited to crash by Max's de...

Utter disgrace. I mentioned the Silverstone debacle earlier, this is just as bad.

Flash2k11

The Pirelli inquest needs to be fast, if it was a pure tyre failure then they will all want to pit again. Depends if it was caused by hitting something on track that no tyre would survive. Indeed, hence the need for the inquest. The data and cameras alone will show if it was a debris strike. I was ...

I can't help but notice that the vast majority of balconies on the flats around the circuit, are completely lacking in people. Are they empty, are they all watching it on TV or just not interested? Even if you didnt have one iota of interest in F1 you'd rent the place out for the afternoon for seri...

Even Crofty gulping at that helping of Hamilton hate from Di Resta

Flash2k11

Its not over for Hamilton yet, he's close enough to Perez for tyre wear to be an issue later on and there is always the spectre of an SC.

Flash2k11

Lewis sounds ragged, I think Perez is well on here even over Max.

Mercedes is mighty on straights.
Hamilton's setup is quick on the straights, but Bottas's doesn't look like it is.

Different rear wings.

Flash2k11

As Alienturnedhuman helpfully pointed out (which is the same argument you're making), conditional probability can indicate risk better. The occurrence of red flags is an independent event though in itself, and even if the risk were higher it still is an edge case. You are arguing gamblers fallacy, ...

Of course it is relevant - we are discussing planning for edge cases, and if multiple red flags in the final 10 mins of qualy is an edge case then it is completely relevant to my argument.

Is it still an edge case given what had occured the in the previous 2 sessions? I think not.

Flash2k11

I agree that there is a higher risk, but your analogy doesn't make sense - impending rain is something you can predict these days with a high level of accuracy, while double yellows and reds are entirely unpredictable. When was the last time we saw 2 red flags in the final 10 mins of qualifying? Wh...

I'm gonna say it. Verstappen consistently hasn't been delivering on Saturday. A return of 1/6 poles in a car that was clearly capable of pole at every circuit is a very poor return for the driver some consider the best over one lap. He's been burgled by Leclerc twice and Hamilton once. A bit too ea...

Chuck LeCluck, closely followed by Lewis.

If Lewis carries his S3 advantage from Qualy into the race then I can't see past a Lewis win. High chance safety cars will wreak havoc though, could be a cracker.

I think this is another area where Indy has it right, you get grid penalties for bringing out the red flag. Don't think he did that on purpose though, a lot easier to just find a place to rip your front wing off without risking damaging the gearbox than doing that. If the gearbox is knackered then i...

I would say obviously Verstappen has more to prove, but it is illuminating to see Hamilton's insecurity and pompousness with his comments on this. “I think perhaps, as you know, he feels perhaps he has a lot to prove. I’m not necessarily in the same boat there. I’m more long term, kind of ‘it’s a m...
