Red Bull was in Renault category today.

Look like a solid second behind Ferrari. I'd say 0.6 secs due to chassis/aero and 0.4 due to engine. Newey and co have done a terrible job with the new regs.

Understanding more of the context of the crash, I feel Max is wholey to blame. Ocon was behind Max for a couple of laps, catching at 3 seconds per lap, he gained permission from his team to unlap himself, with this message being relayed to Max. During the overtake, Ocon got in front, and as the tur...

Things people seem to be misunderstanding on the Ocon/Verstappen incident are that: -Ocon had not just been lapped, he had been help up behind Verstappen for 2 laps -Ocon had double checked with the team about unlapping himself and is allowed to do so -Force India say Ocon would have lost around 6 ...

Ocon is allowed to unlap himself and was ahead going into turn 1. Max being on the inside line and then was ahead towards turn 2. At this point Ocon should have then backed out but I think Max should still have been sensible and left more space into turn 2. Backmarker certainly has a right to unlap...

Could Max still have won it had he not wasted 3 seconds that he did after the spin trying to show the middle finger to Ocon?

ReservoirDog

Seems like a scam company.

Wins is looking more and more likely now. He's just 20 away and he might race another 5 years for all we know. At his current pace and with the rules relatively stable for two more seasons, he will likely have that by the end of 2020. Podiums is almost a sure thing to be done by 2020. Championships...

RBR are usually a good 0.5 secs in race, and 0.75 secs in quali behind Merc/Ferrari. That'd roughly require a 75bhp net bump from Honda to fill that gap. Impossibruuu.

How do Hamilton fans feel about that result? I'm curious, because I have the feeling that throughout Lewis' career, his fans have been quite vocal about how he doesn't need #1 status and his rivals do. Now that Lewis is clearly being given all the benefits of a Schumacher-like system of driver pref...

All you need to see is qualifying. If Hamilton has the fastest car at Monza it's going to be a pole position. The lap he did and the fact that he was miles beyond his teammate while Raikkonen actually set a faster time than Vettel is all you need to know. Hamilton himself said they had the faster c...

If Hamilton had undercut Raikkonen like how Bottas undercut Vettel at China, people would claim that Ferrari made a tactical mistake by not reacting to Mercedes getting ready for a pit stop. The reality of the situation is that Kimi lost the race by not being good enough. Vettel finished only 7 sec...

That's the thing with Alonso.. His teammate performances are always looked at to illustrate the miracles he was/is doing. If we believe that Alonso was/is 6 tenths faster than the guy who was in pole position in Monza just a few days ago, is it fair to say that Fernando would have scored 20+ pole p...

Verstappen just spat on Ocon's face. Unreal.

That move was epic.

Hamilton is the best rain driver of this decade, but he’s also been quite lucky in recent rain races IMO. Silverstone 2015 - Rosberg was the fastest in the changing condition. Hamilton won this race in the dry period. USA 2015 - again Rosberg was the fastest in the rainy conditions. Hamilton won th...

ReservoirDog

Long time lurker and have been following this back and forth for some time now. Seems everyone is caught up on the word 'Lucky'. My take on it; Lewis (or everyone else not driving a Ferrari) was lucky that it rained as it made it possible to get a result that looked quite unlikely otherwise. Howeve...

A bit too early for Leclrec. As much as I think Raikkonen is passed it, it'd make sense to keep him around next year so Leclerc can mature.

ReservoirDog

2 years too late. So happy he's not dragging him name through the mud anymore.

ReservoirDog

Easily one of the greatest drivers to have driven an F1 car. Should've retired two years ago though. His records don't do him justice, and over time people might forget how good a driver he was. It's a shame I absolutely hated him when he was getting results, trying to deny how good he was. Once I g...

Ferrari is clearly ahead of Mercedes right now. Very worrisome for Merc and co. They got lucky today, but won't happen a lot going forward.

ReservoirDog

Hamilton's first stint was out of this world. His pace was almost up there with the Ferrari's after the later's pitstops. Unreal. I won't even mention his wet-driving, which stood head and shoulders above his rivals.

So... boring? In your view, is that good, bad ... or unimportant?

Of course bad. Why watch a sport if there's nothing to enjoy? He's like an excel worksheet.

Despite all the evidence of performance with Renault PU and now the senior overhaul some people will still believe last year's car was could fight top three.

I'm really taken aback that more hasn't been made of Mercedes allowing the chief strategist to self-flagellate so publicly like that on Lewis's radio. I'm angry at Lewis's sulking triggering it, but it is highly beneath Mercedes to have allowed that grovelling apology. The team should always come f...

About time he got fired.

Mercedes are now on par with Ferrari's level of wasted opportunities. They lost sure wins in Australia and Austria by failing to respond properly to the VSC and also another potential win by not pitting Lewis for new tires during the SC in China. They seem totally unprepared for safety car periods....

For starters, we don't know if Alonso is still a good driver or not. Then they know Hamilton and it works. Why would they want to upset that? And of all the people replace him with Alonso? Zetsche hates him. Mercedes really has no reason to do it. And imagine if they did, and Alonso dropped the ball...

So don't know what to make of this latest interview with Boullier. He's basically said that McLaren can forget about winning titles, not unless some other engine manufacturer appears on the scene.
