To be fair Max wasn't a million miles away from doing something similar at the same complex. The wind got up and the Ferrari apparently does bite when you get a snap.

Always a chance. Goes to show how important that banker can actually be.

I actually don't really have a problem with changes in format. If you grab someone from pretty much any era and drop them into another they'd be shocked by how much things have changed. If in 10 years time 10 sprints and 20 races has become standard then for most people that will be what F1 is. Inde...

When I started watching F1 there was 2 qualifying sessions and a practice on Sunday morning. Was that better than we have now? Yes. :smug: It was especially fun if it was wet on Friday prior to a dry weekend. Then you'd have the joy of tuning into Q1 to watch a clock count down for an hour with lit...

I bet there are many, many barriers to doing it, but has anyone ever considered chucking the F1 drivers in the spec F2 cars? The sprint format we have now (so about 6 a season) but as a spec day, so practice/setup, followed by quali and a sprint race. It would obviously be highly interesting and pot...

Alonso coaching Lance while driving, brilliant. It shows just how little a threat Stroll is to him while also highlighting the decline of Vettel in his last 3 years in F1. Alternatively Stroll is actually pretty fast and a skilful overtaker, while Alonso is currently driving at the at the pretty mu...

Genuine question: is overtaking in the pitlane allowed? I did wonder. My guess would be that they don't have to overtly disallow it because it is managed by the pit land speed limit. That naturally means you can only overtake a car that is going significantly slower than what is allowed for whateve...

... Ocon & Hulkenberg spending 90 minutes driving for TV coverage, it stinks I tells ya It was more driving for a Red Flag. Not a terrible plan given recent events and it being a street circuit with limited run-offs. If they think they're going to be outside the points all things being equal then d...

Media really trying to add drama to the interviews. Confirming "it's going to be tense" for the rest of the season now Perez is closer to Verstappen. He's done very well this weekend, but we should remember that the previous win by Perez was heavily related to Verstappen hitting issues in qualifyin...

Max doesn't realise RB screwed him yet "we couldn't have know the SC would come out then"... oh yes we knew Max. He obviously doesn't realise that Red Bull had 10-12 seconds to react to the car on track. At that exact moment I think most would have said there was a reasonable chance the stopped car...

Alpine what a sh*t show at the end
It's not Alpine's fault

Yep, load of people stood blocking a live Pitlane

wolfticket

It's not been filled with incident and overtaking, but it least it's been a proper race.
I'd take this over what happened in Australia any day of the week.

wolfticket

That Merc is so draggy, it just ends up sat too close for too long and damaging tyres so losing out in the long run.

wolfticket

Alonso's strategy seems to be staying 2-3 seconds or so until he has the pace advantage to make the jump to DRS a single lap. I think he just tested the water and called it off when it didn't happen.

wolfticket

I'm still struggling with the idea that Stroll didn't do something to his left front corner hitting that wall. It was a big hit

wolfticket

Russell technically overtaking under the safety car? Does it count in the pit lane? Obviously Stroll going slower than normal to make a gap for the double stack.

wolfticket

Every single time Max gets annoyed about people being too aggressive with him gives me a chuckle. The ocean angry at the rain for getting it wet. The real kicker is not so much that the boot has been on the other foot so often: It's that Max did it so often, prominently and successfully that he in ...

wolfticket

Did anyone catch the actual extent of Aston's DRS issues towards the end of quali? Judging by Stroll it seemed like it was working in the first zone but then not at all on the main straight.

EDIT:

wolfticket

Irrespective of whether it's a good idea in general, actually changing the format set out at the start of the season two races in without a really good reason doesn't exactly make it seem like F1 is putting the sport part of the package foremost.

wolfticket

I think both have likeable traits. Max is an absolute racer who really only wants to be racing and hates everything else about being an F1 driver (apart from the money I'd bet). He's very straight talking and straight forward. There is absolutely no bull with Max. He's honest and doesn't really car...

I remember ages ago there was a thread about what WDC results you might change if (IF) you had carte blanche control over history. I think I mentioned 2008 :) For me I was just sad for Massa how it happened, especially in retrospect given how much Lewis went on to win. I'm sure that still hurts him....

It's being said that Liberty Media prefer red flags too SC's because we then have more racing laps and of course standing start restarts are more exciting in part because there is more chance of cars crashing. I actually agree that red flags should be seen as superior to lengthy safety car periods,...

wolfticket

Takeaways: - Red Flags should always mean a rolling restart except for stoppages within the first sector of the race. - The restart order should always be taken from the last full sector completed prior to the stoppage. - If the race ends under the safety car the gaps between cars on the same lap sh...

I would think that the interpretation of "the last point at which it was possible to determine the position of all cars" is the last completed sector/timing zone prior to the red flag, meaning prior to the restart.

wolfticket

Last thought before I go and pretend all that never happened for a bit: Imagine if the leader had a 5 second penalty and the race was going to finish under safety car conditions. There's a reasonable chance the natural field spread covering the points would be more than that over the line. ...So the...

I'd like to say it's up there as one of the most farcical GP's I've seen in the last 5 years. Sadly it barely makes the top 3. It does have some strong competition unfortunately. Spa 21 would take that accolade for me Abu Dhabi 21 and Singapore and Suzuka 22 very strong competition. This one probab...

Sainz 12. It just meant they crossed the line at racing speed which reduced the time gaps.

wolfticket

There could well be an accident over the finish line behind Sainz under safety car conditions here.

How do you add 5 seconds finishing behind the safety car??
He goes out of the points.

Is there normally more than 5 seconds between 5 cars under the safety car?

wolfticket

How do you add 5 seconds finishing behind the safety car?? If it's literally 5 seconds it's going to be chaos on the last straight under safety car speeds.

wolfticket

Strong suspicion they're just making it up as they go along.

wolfticket

Tempted to go back to bed. This self inflicted confusion and farce is boring as well as very annoying.

wolfticket

If they have a processional finish like that should have in the first place but just to confirm the farce... I have no words.

wolfticket

What a complete waste of time for a significant portion of the field. Farcical.

Edit
Will the results be when they last crossed the line, so the original order? I hope so.

wolfticket

Mercedes were strongest in the first two.

wolfticket

It's going to be more exciting than ending under the safety car. It was Wrestlemania last night, I bet that was exciting too...

The Haas and the AlphaTauri are way too similar looking from front on.
