Grosjean is an idiot and has no idea how to control his car. He got on the throttle twice to take it into the wall. No feel whatsoever.

This is something that they should have done basically from the beginning. Ferrari have not wasted any time trying to be fair. In fact, at Monaco they basically swapped Vettel into the lead. I think Mercedes may regret the position swap at the end of the Hungarian GP. This might be a super-close ch...

It appears that Perez, the new red mist man, punctured his own tire when he cut of Ocon. Truly a man with a compromised Chi feeling that he has to defensive even when it's not appropriate.
