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.

Mort Canard

Perez, Norris and Ricciardo.

Ricciardo for successfully making it from 16th on the grid to 5th at the end.

Is all over but the wailing and gnashing of teeth. Alex Palou spanked the field at Laguna Seca by more than 20 seconds at the end. Newgarden came second but that was not nearly enough to make up a 20+ point gap to Will Power. Some very good racing this year in Indycar and there was some decent racin...

It has just been announced that Nicholas Latifi will undergo an appendectomy (whether he needs one or not) on October 2 DURING the Singapore Grand Prix. Team Williams regrets that it will once again have to resort to using Nyck De Vries as a substitute for a hospitalized driver.

That is all!

Mort Canard

I'm unsure what Russell did that was better than Hamilton this weekend other than not have an engine penalty. I could get it if Russell had beat him in qualifying but he finished behind him even with the tow and then drive around in no man's land in third place for the entire race. I actually went ...

Mort Canard

De Vries, Sainz, & Hamilton.

Very good drives by Verstappen, Leclerc, & Russell but they were kind of expected to do well.

Max stopped due to gearbox issue.

Was evidently a "Friday" gearbox so it won't affect Max's allocation of race parts.

Max, Freddy, & Sebastian.

I would be laughing my guts out when or if Piastri enters F1 next year and then ends up being totally useless and no good!..... Personally I would not like to be in his shoes as the stakes are really high at the moment. If it was me, would rather enter the sport very low profile. It does take quite...

Mort Canard

Just small details stopping Lewis from a race win so far this year. If the first start stood in Silverstone, he might have won. If his DRS didn’t fail in qualifying in Hungary, he probably would have won. 9 more races and Mercedes looking stronger and stronger, I think he will steal a win in this l...

Mort Canard

I voted for Charles and Ferrari. It's a shame if the title is decided before Abu Dhabi. DNF in Spain where he was cruising, DNF in Baku and he had track position at worst he would end P2 behind Max. Some how Ferrari made him loose in Monaco and Silverstone. Stupid crash in France at worst P2 and he...

Mort Canard

Verstappen, Hamilton, & Russell.

Mort Canard

Is Charles struggling that much or has Carlos managed to better his performance and Charles is looking more troubled by comparison???

Charles, Carlos and the whole Ferrari team have all had their own individual problems this year. Still, Carlos is looking stronger over the last handful of races.

Mort Canard

Niki himself said that it was about 85% correct, and found no major problems with the story as told my the movie. Niki and Daniel Bruhl seem to have gotten on quite well as both said so in post filming interviews.

Mort Canard

Hamilton, Russell, Sainz. Lewis for holding off Checo at the start on equal tires & getting the most out of the Merc. Russell for the battle with Checo. Sainz for the drive from the back, the pass on Checo, & the fights with Norris, Alonso, & Russell. Honorable mention to Max, Fernando, & Lando for ...

Mort Canard

So, what's the over/under on Lando getting Colton Herta as next year's team mate??

Tongues have been wagging about the possibility of Danny Ric being out of the McL seat soon. I know that Danny is supposed to have a contract for the 2023 McL seat but contracts have been broken before.

Mort Canard

Leclerc, Hamilton & Schumacher.

Mort Canard

Perez, Sainz, Gasly for reasons already stated above.

Mort Canard

I would say prime candidates would be Colton Herta, Pato O'Ward, Oscar Piastri and Fernando Alonso. Seems to me that Freddy might have burned any bridges back to McLaren. Don't know if Zak would want to put up with his antics again. Pray tell what you heard? I haven't heard any quotes from Zak Brow...

Mort Canard

I Thanks. Yeah saw your post in the Ricciardo thread, interesting to see how that plays out. Not sure who would replace him at the end of this season. I would say prime candidates would be Colton Herta, Pato O'Ward, Oscar Piastri and Fernando Alonso. Seems to me that Freddy might have burned any br...

Not a good day for Max. Spent way to much time in the garage.

Only fourteen laps in FP1 and 1 lap in FP2. He took a second transmission also meaning that he has only one left.

Mort Canard

Russia Grand Prix Likely Cancelled; Replacement Already Arranged The Russian Grand Prix, held at the Sochi Autodrom, will most likely not take place in 2022. The tensions between Russia and Ukraine are the cause. On Wednesday afternoon, Nikita Mazepin announced that he expected his home race to con...

Jensen and Lewis always seemed to work well together even if they were never really besties.

Mort Canard

Go on, now pull the other one!!

Mort Canard

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Bring back Charlie Whiting. Prop him up in the corner and leave him alone. He will do a much better job than Masi.

Mort Canard

Michael Masi having to find work as an Uber driver.

Mort Canard

I am looking for Carlos to outpace Charles again next year. It took him some time to get up to speed in the red car but by the end of the season he showed himself to be more consistent than Charles and nearly as fast when they are both having a good day. It will be interesting to see which driver th...

...and Valtteri can't even get by Yuki Tsunoda to get back in this race.

Mort Canard

There you go. Horner confirms Red Bull have gone lower down force to compete. Tomorrow will be interesting. Killer lap from Max. Thing was on rails. Lower downforce should contribute to accelerated tire wear for Max and Checo. Sounds like they are going to try for a two stop strategy. Max will have...

Mort Canard

Checo will be paid a boat load of money to crash into the back of Lewis at turn one on the first lap. Max will drive by the scene looking pure as the driven snow.

Mort Canard

For me, Hamilton, Ocon & Sainz Same here. Max could have taken a fairly easy win, but he played to close to the edge of the rules. i disagree. Hamilton had the measure of everyone and everything from the start. Masi calling for a red flag after the first incident is what allowed Max to look in cont...

Mort Canard

Well Carlos ends up one place behind Charles today but Carlos went from 15th to 8th today and Charles dropped from fourth to seventh. There was a good battle between Carlos and Charles with each passing the other at least once. On the whole I would give the edge at Saudi Arabia to Carlos. Well, Sai...

Mort Canard

WCC points after Saudi Arabai
Merc: 587.5
RBR: 559.5

That's a 28 point advantage for Merc. Going to be hard for RBR up pull it off.

What a farce of a race. Verstappen should have been disqualified.
Great win for LH, despite all the efforts against him. Has to be very careful next race to avoid collision with that joke of a driver.

The stewards still have at least one decision to hand down.

Mort Canard

Carlos is a unicorn, let go by RBR, let go by Renault, ignored by F1 (20th to 3rd at Brazil 2019 and almost not shown in the coverage at all?!), and signed as the definitive backup to THE Ferrari driver. People have been underestimating him for a long time, and he’s just quietly put in the work. Car...

Mort Canard

Good to see Leclerc getting his obligatory session ending crash out of the way. Better here than in qualifying. For a supposedly elite driver he sure does crash alot. IMO, if he loses that Ferrari (political) support he will burn out very fast. What is going on at Ferrari is pretty interesting. It ...

Mort Canard

I knew that Valtteri has had some abysmal starts this year. Same with Checo. I didn't realize that Gasly and Norris had that much of a problem on the starts. For Lewis and Max there are not very many if any places to be gained on a start, but a lot of opportunity to lose position. Looks like Mick Sc...
