Yet in the presser Max said he didn't. And Horner said there were no yellows when clearly there were. So that clears that all up then!

Not that reputable a site, but GPFans saying Max said in the press conference he knew about the crash, but shrugged off any concerns about safety. Protest from Binotto if true?

shoot999

Erm, how does Max get away with that. Everyone backed off and Max comes steaming through with Bottas sat in the barriers. I thought after Nico did a similar thing you had to visibly slow down under double yellows? Because he is the golden child, and stewards have no cojones, how do you go purple un...

On F1 technical they have evidence showing that Vettel's car was still moving forward when the lights went out, the sensor system is not fit for use in policing how the rules are supposedly written. Should we take your word for it? I'll try and find it on the site however I have seen the rolling im...

Proof that the system doesn't pick up rolling starts, Bottas got away with a rolling start, ridiculous, the stewarding is going down the pan. :thumbdown: https://www.sportvideos.tv/video-valtteri-bottas-reacted-on-sebastian-vettels-jump-start/ How can you accuse him of the rolling start when you ca...

Not sure this is an opinion, it's more a prediction based on gut instinct and I've mentioned the first part of it before. Hamilton will win sixth WDC this year but that will be his last (this is what I've mentioned before). He will also not break Schumacher's 91 wins record. My thinking is that Fer...

I’m all for more lenient penalties when it comes to racing but this was just idiotic from Leclerc. The FIA have set a low bar. I’ve not been that impressed by Masi so far. Same here. From what I can see Massi's let them race ethos is more a case of him sitting on the fence and hoping everything tur...

Yes that’s much better rather than saying I just think. I’ll pass judgement when I see the times but Hamiltons times never dropped suddenly on the mediums and I didn’t notice that on Bottas watching the live timing. The question I would put to Wolf is, where did Hamilton finish? Yes, 3rd behind Vet...

Interesting new tyre deg graphics. No idea how accurate they are though. Vettel is on the 2-stopper. Where do they get this information from. I call BS.

Re Leclerc driving with a damaged car. Ferrari were asked to put and said they would and then they didn't pit. If true I think that should be a DQ. Leclerc had to hold his mirror on with his hand at one point, which when it fell off nearly hit Hamilton. Some close ups from Leclerc and Hamilton's ca...

Hmm, extended by just half an hour? To add in qualifying, they should have more than that. Will likely be because sky won't let them have longer as they may be worried about the number of viewers channel 4 will get at this time :P Think C4 are only allowed 50% of on track action in their contract w...

So.... Still no reliable news reports on this actually being considered by the FIA? As mikey mentioned above: "It was on Autosport after the race last week."

I'm yet to be convinced that Max Verstappen will end up at Mercedes, In the interview with Hamilton on channel 4 it was pretty clear that he had a role other than as a driver at Mercedes. He fits the Toto Wolff management style ethos. Verstappen can be a bit of a diva, and would come with his fathe...

I have to laugh at Di Resta's comments about the VSC, and of course, many in the community too. Where were they complaining about the VSC when Vettel beat Hamilton to the Australian GP 2018 race using the VSC?

A Dieter Rencken source suggesting that Ferrari are using a trick in the intercooler to recreate the banned 'oil burn'.

Everyone spent the time moaning about team orders over at Merc, for their obvious number 1 choice and results that are close to bagging another drivers/constructors. Over at Ferrari, when they obviously had agreements in place.. Vettel ignored it. Don't think anyone can blame him. It could have cau...

I say this every year and it never works out but I think it even more this year. The leader isn’t favourite into turn 1. Hamilton or Vettel will take the lead I feel. Hamilton would have taken it at Monza but his start was too good that he didn’t get a chance for any slipstreaming. Today, Vettel is...

Channel 4 have upgraded David Coulthard, says Steve Jones at the beginning of yesterday’s qualifying highlights.

Bottas himself only lost WDC points once, Russia 2018. How about the last race at Singapore where Bottas would have finished ahead if the team did not tell him to slow down by 3 seconds per lap? So if they didnt slow him down, or he didnt want to play ball they would have just pitted Ham earlier. S...

Leclerc looks incredible on one Lap pace. In that department he is bossing Vettel lately, having Hamilton as a buffer should work in his favour too making it that much tougher for Vettel to get within slipstreaming range on lap one. As for Mercedes, Obviously Hamilton's 2nd place won't last as I im...

well that is disapointing from Bottas I thought it would be incridibly likely he would beat hamilton here, but he seems to finding it tricky today compared to yesterday. Hopefully his race pace will still be decent. He's somehow catfished Mercedes into giving him another contract. Now that is secur...

Part of me wonders if Merc, having wrapped everything up by August has an eye on 2020. Apparently Toto and the drivers canceled all press appointments after FP2 and stormed of to an internal meeting, so they might not be feeling all cozy at the moment. Apparently Ham didn't get the message as he wa...

Holding? I thought it was called 'backing the pack up'? If that wasn't what he was doing; or doesn't want to do in the future, they just pit the lead driver first surely?

Probably high, as they will now pack this engine away until Japan. It almost certainly wont be used in the Sochi race.
