You wreck your car to a unrepairable extent - YOU sit - not your teammate - be that Albon or Verstappen. The old 'You break it, you bought it' rule. Its strange how no one sees the bigger picture, how come a team valued close to $1B doesn't have a spare tub, Andretti were refused entry because they...

Given that this from F3 today as just given a 3 place grid penalty I doubt we will be seeing any race bans anytime soon.

It is crazy, really.

Paolo_Lasardi

Tsolov deserved a race ban for that maneuvre. This is getting out of hand after the Spanish F4 incident at the end of last season, stuff like this deserves sterner action. On the actual racing, Antonelli showing what he is all about on a track that he has never driven on. All through the session lo...

Paolo_Lasardi

So the rookie who has never driven on the track before ends up P3 also unlike several other drivers including his teammate was able to keep his car on track not spreading gravel all over the place. Antonelli finished 6 tenths quicker than his teammate Bearman but to be fair to Bearman he would have...

Paolo_Lasardi

Mini 3 tenths clear of the field, 6 tenths clear of his 2 teammates, now he's showing something. Dunne weaved in front of Meguetounif ruining his lap so Meguethonif side swipes Dunne into the wall smashing his car and bringing out the red flag. I can see both drivers being penalised, I expect Megue...

Imagine Albon totalling the second chassis too..

That would be a nice story!

Williams don’t have a spare chassis following Albon’s big shunt in practice. From the tweet below looks like they’ll be using Sargeant’s car for Albon for the rest of the weekend. https://x.com/phortonf1/status/1771095697401446462?s=46&t=ogYVTvP780Kb_NbBode63w Not sure how I feel about that.

Impressive pole by Hauger, very impressive performance by Antonelli. By contrast, the two pre-season favorites keep struggling.

Paolo_Lasardi

KMag was clearly messing about because of his double penalty, it's curious how Tsunoda is labelled as the dangerous unstable driver but he was the one making sure that both cars survived through all those melees, I don't believe that KMag cared that much. You believe, accuse, and speculate - but yo...

Paolo_Lasardi

I'm curious to know what you saw? Magnussen was quick enough to pass Tsunoda (all be it illegally) before he started his go slow. It's not like Ricciardo was doing anything with the car either. Well, I saw Tsunoda flying by Magnussen with DRS help on the straight but Magnussen re-catching him into ...

Paolo_Lasardi

Almost like it's hard to overtake a faster car even if that car is driving slowly in the sections of track where overtaking isn't possible. :?: Tsunoda overtook on the straights, Magnussen fought back into the corners. I thought the straights were where it is easier to overtake with Tsunoda having ...

Where is the evidence that Tsunoda had a faster car? Watching the race. I'm curious to know what you saw?

Where is the evidence that Tsunoda had a faster car? Watching the race.

Paolo_Lasardi

You mean that this isn't factually correct? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nq7wqebeXSE Exactly, he isn't cutting the chicane. He is off at the outside with four wheels (a manoeuvre we have seen many times by Verstappen and co without effectively being penalized) - hence the penalty. Sometime after...

Paolo_Lasardi

It was shown that he cut the chicane, gaming the system is short for weak and ineffective stewarding. I understand they've only just introduced the 10 second penalties but they can't be allowing drivers to be able to carry on racing with 20 second or 30 second penalties, there's a point where penal...

Paolo_Lasardi

I believe that Tsunoda did pass him, KMag then just cut the chicane to keep his position, one of his 10 second penalties. But the "gaming of the system" only started after Magnussen received the second penalty and his race was ruined. Only then he was asked to help his teammate scoring points - and...

Paolo_Lasardi

The problem is that they are not fast enough to get his grid positions, also we seem to quickly forget the string of 11th place finishes he was getting early last season in a poor car, this year in both races he was running 10th but his team let him down with poor strategy in one race and then he c...

Paolo_Lasardi

Is Appendix surgery the most frequent single cause of drivers missing races apart from injuries sustained whilst driving? Off the top of my head over the last 30 years I remember Hakkinen, Irvine, Albon and now Sainz missing a race due to the particularly pesky organ. Interestingly their replacemen...

Paolo_Lasardi

You're not happy with how KMag was able to abuse the system either. Mags did exactly what the system allowed him to do. If you can't pass Mags on track, you don't deserve Hulk's position. I believe that Tsunoda did pass him, KMag then just cut the chicane to keep his position, one of his 10 second ...

Paolo_Lasardi

Tsunoda definitely has improved in terms of pace, tyre management and consistency, but his race craft right now is very weak for a driver in the midfield. Yeah he is currently quicker than either of Ricciardo and Lawson but they would be more likely to convert his grid starts into points The proble...

Paolo_Lasardi

Don't see what logic you're using to arrive at that conclusion, Magnussen beat Tsunoda in SA by essentially cheating not sure that is a flex. Tsunoda has also gone on to beat every other driver they have put in the sister car and had been closing the gap to Gasly before he left. You seem to also be...

There's already rumours that Ricciardo might get replaced by Lawson this year if he can't step things up. What will they do when tsunoda beats him aswell Perez then keeps his Red Bull seat because there is probably no future for Tsunoda at Red Bull, I'm not sure what happens with Lawson, maybe they...

Paolo_Lasardi

Track limits should not be open to human interpretation. The track must enforce its own limits. Exceeding track limits with one tire will cause more than 5 or 10 seconds added to a participants race time. Penalties should not be assessed as time penalties unless the action happens on the last lap. ...

Paolo_Lasardi

Perez then keeps his Red Bull seat because there is probably no future for Tsunoda at Red Bull, I'm not sure what happens with Lawson, maybe they keep him at RB for a second season if there is no other junior that is ready to step up. If I'm right then it's a shame for Tsunoda, in the Red Bull team...

He beats Lawson, Lawson has good race craft which helps in the races but I believe lacks ultimate speed. We will have to wait and see. I am very hopeful that Lawson gets a chance this year and if Ricciardo continues to drive as he has done in the last two races, that moment cannot be too far away. ...

saudi track is boring, very boring
Apparently it's the 3rd hardest track to pass on so maybe things might get better but I'm not counting my chickens.

Singapore, Monaco, Barcelona, Melbourne, Zandvoort - which of those allow passes easier than Jeddah?

Just asking.
