Why on earth is this a red flag?

Lojik

Sadly I see F1 going the same way as cricket. I love cricket and grew up with and adore test match cricket. However over the years test match cricket has lost interest for the younger generation for whom T20 style cricket seems most popular. T20 for those who don't know is a much shortened slog it a...

Grosjean is determined to cause a crash with those late defensive movements.

I'd really like to see him out of F1 now, Just non stop stupid/dangerous moves from him, a total liability. Not F1 standard.

Lojik

At this point I'm not sure I'd swap Stroll for Vettel.

BS… The tires weren't worn to the bare carcas at the point which they literally came apart at the seams. They had some blistering but that happens to tires in every racing series and you don't see them fall apart the way Pirelli tires do. Pirelli simply stink at proper tire construction, period. Th...

I don't mind races needing multiple stops for tyres, but this needs to be the result of performance drop off, not tyres that feel fine then suddenly fail.

I think the picture posted by F1 MERCENARY shows he had room to stay on track and avoid the collision. Racing incident for me.

I like the way Bottas doesn't deserve 2nd place, which clearly has been earned by him. These commentators... Which broadcast are you watching? Because sky has di Resta commentating and it's frickin awful For the first time ever, I watched the race with the volume turned off. I already cannot stand ...

Lojik

Norris and Gasly. I don't think anybody at the front did anything noteworthy whatsover.

Dunno, Rosberg took a pole while driving through double waved yellows so who knows.

Vettel has been in a dominant Ferrari, set up to his specs, given Number 1 status, with a World Champion as a team mate and still didn't beat Hamilton. He needs poll, a clean start and clean air in a dominant car to win. Doesn't that indicate that Lewis tips the scales? Would like to exchange opini...

Lojik

oh I don't like this at all, it is surely far too early for Albon andcould absolutely destroy his F1 career. Sure he has looked pretty good so far, but again this has to be far too early. Just don't see this working out well for Albon. Hope I'm wrong

Lojik

Of the current crop...Grosjean, serially incompetent. Giovinazzi is just not F1 standard & Stroll, only there for one reason and it's not talent.

Lojik

Mexico.. as is tradition

KMs Haas getting a tow back to the pits. That's probably the fastest it will go all weekend :p

Lojik

I like it, but I don't feel it's the right track to open the season with. Every single year it leads to moaning about how hard it is to overtake. If it were a few races in, with some overtake-fest like Bahrain to actually open the season, I think we'd see a lot less complaining. Yeah I completely a...

Apparently, Rich Energy has terminated its contract with Haas team owing to the team's bad performance lately. https://www.gpblog.com/en/news/41070/rich-energy-terminate-contract-with-haas-formula-1-team.html 1148994221686370304 That tweet is either revealing their delusions, idiocy or just trying ...

Good decision to conclude a great race.

Lojik

I went with acceptable overtake, but I wont be surprised if Max gets a penalty. As much as I was rooting for Leclerc, I still hope the result stands.

Could there be a worse reason to give a penalty?

Everyone seems to have gone insane at the moment, can't wait til all this crap is done with.

I think Sky should replace Croft with Buxton and Brundle with Coulthard. Just my 2 cents. Certainly replace Croft with Buxton or Bob Varsha. I still like Brundle but wouldn't mind trying out Coulthard as a replacement for Johnny Herbert, De Resta, or Chandok. I used to like Brundle a lot, but he ha...

For the love of god will the Sky team please STFU about that damned Canada penalty. If it will shut everyone up then give Vettel the win back, I am so bored of this rubbish.

Lojik

This is sad. Last time I checked there were 3 stewards, and I'm not even sure if it has to be an unanimous decision to pass the sentence; he may have opposed it for all we know (I am not aware of Pirro's opinion). Really sad to hear this. I was actually worried at the time when the Sky team kept sp...

Lojik

I was fine with it, the same way I'm usually fine with driver team radio outbursts. It's all heat of the moment stuff and just a bit of pantomime.

Lojik

But as Kravitz said, it's the teams who argued for these penalties, and the teams who argued that the punishment for such offences should be uniform. As he also intimated, perhaps something would be done if these drivers and teams argued the case, other than when they are directly disadvantaged by ...

Lojik

Some further information on how the stewards made their decision is detailed in this article: https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/143996/vettel-steering-inputs-key-to-fia-penalty-decision Basically says that the decision was mostly based on his steering inputs after gaining back control of the car.

Mercedes had the best race pace by a very good margin. Hamilton messed up the hairpin 4 or 5 times and was on Vettel's gearbox the following sector, easily able to follow him through the corners without losing any performance from dirty air . Well that's not true, he was certainly losing performanc...

Lojik

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 ap...

What Hamilton did to Ricciardo here in 2016 was much worse,

What, you mean leaving him a cars width of space?

According to Ted it wasn't his race gearbox. That will be going in today (Saturday)

Interesting AMA from Mercedes James Vowles on the Monaco GP.

I think they should open up turn 1, Sainte-Dévote a little more, seems too pinched in to me.

I also think Monaco should be a mandatory 2 stop race with teams having to run all 3 compounds. I know that's probably not very popular though.

Binotto came out and said it was an "error in judgement" not to send Charles out for another lap. They were trying to save a set of tires for tomorrow.

Unfortunately Hamilton pole, Bottas 2nd and Hamilton will walk away with the race victory. Same old.... I'm not convinced. The Merc is very quick, but a handful to drive by the looks of things. I can see one of the mercs stuffing it in the wall during qualy, possibly Hamilton as he seems to be stru...
