Have I missed something here but what exactly are Red Bull seeing the stewards about? This mess was nothing to do with them and they aren't the ones appealing anything. It affects their driver - they should have a right to know what's going on and, presumably, provide their own input. It affects th...

Just depends on his much Perez effects the race then.

I can’t see that he will TBH.

Banana Man

Merc have had the fastest race car, comfortably, since Brazil. Lewis has basically got this in the bag, he just needs to keep calm and manage his tyres.

BTW why was Lewis getting booed yesterday?

Lewis and Max both get booed at most tracks they visit. They seem to both have acquired some rather partisan supporters.

Banana Man

It's rarified air today. You could make a case that this is the first true one on one straight fight, winner takes it all decider between the two best drivers of the time since Japan 1998. I think that wouldn’t really count because in theory Mika could have followed Michael home in second and still...

I think a few men in suits would be heading down to the medical centre to discuss a second opinion if it did happen.

Mazepin has tested positive for Covid!!!!!!!!! He is asymptomatic and currently self-isolating. He will not be replaced.

Imagine if it was Max or Lewis.

Banana Man

Hamilton, Alonso and Vettel could all potentially call it a day after next season. Of the others who may lose their seat, I don't know how much money Albon is bringing to Williams but that could be an option.

Banana Man

Still think Lewis will do it, Merc have the race pace.

Banana Man

Norris changed his tires too during the safety car. The red flag on this circuit was inevitable. He should be blaming McLaren strategists. For the record RB got it wrong too. Changing to mediums under the RF was a huge mistake. His tires were gone after 14 laps. Why did RB think new mediums could l...

Banana Man

Two chains of thought here: 1- You should be allowed to change tyres under RF but when the race resumes it’s in the order before the SC or VSC which preceded the race being stopped, I.e. the last racing lap. 2 - you can only change tyres if an independent Pirelli expert agrees that it’s necessary on...

Banana Man

No. Simply put. The track is not fit for purpose. The governing body is not fit for purpose. The kid is a danger to himself and others. Everything combined to give the race we watched yesterday as the worst gp in history and this was a low point and a embarrassment to the sport. Spa called, they wa...

Banana Man

I think a couple of factors went in his favour there. Firstly they weren’t going THAT fast relative to the top speed of those cars. Secondly, if you’re hitting a car directly from behind and in alignment with the wheels, there’s no resistance to rolling forward, aside from the transfer of energy to...

I thought the track and the way the event was run was a complete farce, not far off USA 2005 levels of ineptitude. The circuit was barely ready on time and paperwork was still being signed off as the teams were setting up in their garages. The F2 events were perhaps worse than the F1 with the featur...

Banana Man

Anyone else think the circuit just isn't right for F1, or F2 for that matter? I'm all for challenging circuits, but every single issue causes either a safety car or vsc. Not half, these street circuits are becoming an absolute farce. It was bad enough in Baku, when Max’s tyre failure could have sla...

Banana Man

What doesn’t help Max is that as soon as there was contact he sped up to full speed. Like I’ve done my job now I’m off. Just confirmed the dirty move he made. Lewis is clearly weary off Max so can you blame him for being cautious when he slows down like. He’ll get away with it and they’ll be a cras...

Neither driver is stupid. They both wanted to be second going over the DRS detection loop.

Hamilton summoned to the stewards under the same article as Verstappen.
Joke, simple as that

How is it a joke? If they’re investigating an incident they’re clearly going to want to hear both drivers side of the story.

Banana Man

Boos for everyone. Ironic for a country with no alcohol.

Banana Man

Haha, the audio feed drops out as Max is explaining the incident.

I’m very confused with what’s going on now. Is the five second penalty for the alleged brake test or for the original move?

The original move - Leaving the track and gaining an advantage.

Banana Man

WTF is Max doing?!

Banana Man

I reckon Hamilton will get Max as the latter’s tyres start to degrade. Max will then pit from second to get the fastest lap.

Banana Man

That was daft from Kimi.

Banana Man

That onboard from Maz is really scary, these street circuits are a joke.

Banana Man

This circuit is a complete farce.

Banana Man

What an absolute mess of a race. From the barriers to this, now.

Banana Man

This season is starting to resemble 2000 and 2003 to be honest, whereby things look close and even all the way through, then come the end of the season the familiar face just comes along and blitzes it. I can’t see anything other than two comfortable Lewis wins and an 8th WDC.

Banana Man

Both Hamilton and Verstappen have had a lot of meetings with walls at Monaco and Baku (at least 3 significant each) - the drivers closest to the limit are the ones most likely to have these incidents. The drivers closest to the limit of their own talent and the adhesion of their vehicle. In that re...

The fact that you are referencing single digit podiums in formula which are nowhere near F1 standard basically backs up my point. She hasn’t done anything in her career which warrants being anywhere near an F1 car. I think that's probably true, although I wouldn't begrudge her a Friday outing. But ...

Deledda hasn’t changed much I see. Just the 6.2 seconds off the pace before binning it in the wall under braking, from last place.

Did anyone see the F2 cars in action? What's Your initial opinion now?

I watched most of it. The track looks fairly unforgiving in places, which could lead to some incidents, even for the F1 drivers. Reminds me of the faster parts of Baku and Singapore in places.

Apart from never having done anything in her career, yet, to suggest she’s anywhere near F1 material? What relevance does that have to getting FP1 session track time? Roy Nissany anyone? IMO, missing the PR opportunity would be a major fail... So having a woman replicate the adventures of Roy Nissa...
