Nice diss by Lewis to his team-mate, by going to the 1st place box before Botas instead of the 3rd place box to rifle thru the rags making Valtteri wait...... (real classy). Didn't Bottas go to the wrong box after qualifying yesterday? (Took the the time to reply yesterday on tape here) NO, he did ...

Perez, Giovinazzi and the obligatory race winner Bottas nudging out a nearly deserving Leclerc

Will be a travesty if Perez does not have a drive next year. He's a much better driver than many a number of drivers. Perhaps even race winners

Perez looking like driver of the day for me

Honorable mention Leclerc and Giovinazzi

So the absurdity of the VSC and the bollards... How tempting would it be for a team to do a Singapore 2009 lite, and deliberately force a safety car with a clumsy anhilation of the bollards

da4an1qu1

Not a certainty, but Ocon may have cost Ricciardo and their Renault team a shot at Perez.

I don't know what happened to my other post, but the T-Shirt... *in a podium ceremony* is definitely a political statement.

I am actually warm to Hamilton. I know he absolutely means well. But this is a misguided move by him. Very distasteful.

Fine, and I'm sure he'll get a fine. Not sure too many of us are that bothered. I'm certainly not.

I am very bothered by it. I can't talk to how many are.

I can take the BLM writing on the helmet, I can take the activism... but the political slogan at a podium ceremony is not activism. It is a stunt. It's boneheaded. And I am not a white male. *edit* not white at all. Can we please, please, leave the overt politics out of at least the podium ceremonies?

These same reports name Giovanazzi as a potential replacement.... There's more chance of Binotto driving the car himself I know where you are coming from, but it isn't that far fetched. If Leclerc establishes himself as the clear number one, and Ferrari's penchant for running a "rear gunner"/number...

I've been meaning to post this for a while. I've been preempted somewhat with the BBC's latest story linking Hamilton with Ferrari ( https://www.bbc.com/sport/formula1/50617286 ). It's not a new idea that Hamilton might at some point end up at Ferrari... but here is my thinking with this poll. As yo...

I'm happy for Sainz but if the rules explicitly state that the DRS shall not be used during yellows, then it's a clear cut penalty IMO. I think their reasoning for not handing one was that he slowed down even though he used DRS... Do you have the details on this? Is there at replay somewhere showin...

The speed advantage Seb had over Charles along that straight, if he'd have kept it straight for another half a second or so, he'd have cleared Charles cleanly and not needed to move across at all. Charles was positioned too well. I'm sure Seb could see that, was anxious, and was trying to reclaim t...

Torpedo is back again at it. IN Mexico, he crashes into Hulk on the last corner of the last lap. In U.S., he crashes into Perez on the last lap. He gets a penalty for both collisions.

Will Bottas race? I don't know what the protocol is around who determines if a driver is fit enough to drive but given the impact, the audible heavy breathing from Valterri after on the radio, I would be surprised if he raced. I assume the FIA doctors at the medical centre? He was in and out of the...

Very disappointing. And not a good look for Renault given their history in the sport, and the wider Nissan-Renault group dramas. I do wonder what Ricciardo is thinking in all this mess. I didn't disagree greatly with the move from Red Bull... but before the summer break, if he was still there, there...

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. I don't normally go with the F(errari)IA angl...

The typhoon will either hit Suzuka on Saturday or not at all. So worst case is a postponed qualifying (unless the typhoon trashes the circuit) This isn’t typhoon season in Japan, that’s usually the spring, the summer would be far too hot to have a race during, making this time of year the best. Unf...

I really can't understand how anyone is blaming Kimi on this one. What the hell was Kimi supposed to do. Not take the corner? He was there way ahead of Kvyat. So now we can legitimise a driver compromising a feasible racing line that'd keep them on track, so long as they get their car somewhere in ...

da4an1qu1

I can see there is no point arguing this. If this video doesn't sway you, then I despair. Kvyat was not making that corner. I don't know where Raikkonen could have went. He can take some blame for not just slamming on the brakes and letting Kvyat sail right by, and off of the track. But that's it. T...

Kimi was responsible for about 50% of the harm to Verstappen. Verstappen was responsible for about 50% of the harm to Verstappen. They share the blame for what they did to each other. Racing incident. However, objectively Kimi is only very slightly responsible for the harm inflicted on himself. Vers...

Full disclosure. I'm Australian, and obviously a fan of Daniel Ricciardo. I was annoyed by Renault's strategy for Dan, but actually thinking about it on a other level, it was questionable just from a safety point of view. I'm not advocating for an enforced limit on laps at all, I think that would be...

Unbelievably brave by Anthoine's family to observe the minute silence at the GP. Heart-wrenching.

Listening to the Sky coverage for FP1. I don't know who the Scottish man that is with Croft, but he mentioned that Honda had set a target of gaining more points than Renault did with Red Bull, to decide their future participation. I started a thread railing against Red Bull being over reliant on the...

I've discussed this in the past with regards to Alonso being content to be number 1 at Ferrari with a very distant Massa, perhaps costing him titles to Vettel. Max lost the race today because his Red Bull was not as fast *and* Gasly is not Ricciardio. Neither Gasly, nor Kyvat, nor Albon would have b...

Clearly the F1 racing stewards in Canada cannot tell the difference between a "racing-incident" and a deliberate action - for which the "Un-safe re-entry rule" was enacted............ : ( Sad day for F1 fans everywhere. Does the penalty require intent? Genuine question. No. Which is why consistency...

da4an1qu1

So this was the tip of the iceberg for a very dodgy penalty. The problem is that the way the rule is applied encourages drivers and teams to "gamble". That is, does the driver/team take the initiative, and take the, retrospectively, lesser penalty of giving up the position or chance it against a ste...

I totally understand how disliked Schumacher is, but really? Comparing him with Armstrong? That's an unnecessary low blow.

F1 is total bullshit. The Monaco race is there just for weekend entertainment for rich people. Monaco is the most exciting race when it rains... my memory of it was that it used to rain a lot...

Well, happy to just hear that Ricciardo was promoted a place due to Grosean's penalty (nothing against Grosean, but he does flirt with penalties more than Dan does). Despite being angry at Renault's decision... it is possible Dan would have ended up not too far ahead of 9th anyway, if at all.
