Leclerc vs norris…in 2026 maybe. I dont see a midfield team like macca being able to catch up to the front pack before that. That sounds too unrealistic to me.

For everyone dumping on Binotto, how short term memory seems to be from all the armchair critics, and that includes those within Ferrari itself, and shame on them and everyone saying Binotto needs to go. If we go back just 2 years ago, Ferraris car was at best the worst of the front runners and not...

Your analysis points to a breakdown in communication, which is odd since Hamilton is now in his tenth year with the team. Again, the fact that a driver questions the strategy does not make it a worse strategy. Vettel didn’t have a great race and I found his driving circumspect to be honest, despite...

I'm all for replacing Binotto, but Vasseur? God help us.

What’s wrong with vasseur? You a sainz fan?

At the moment no they dont. But maybe what we saw in brazil is the beginning or a foreshadow of whats to come. Theres a chance the redbull car is a dud either next year or the year after. Rbr has messed up evolutionary dedigns before. See 2015, 2020. That would be the trigger for a very messy divor...

So apparently Leclerc has not spoken to binotto since silverstone? https://youtu.be/MaiHHgczU4s If that is true then binotto is definitely out. And it makes sense to bring in Vasseur, a Leclerc ally. Sounds like Leclerc is trying to take back his team. Things were slowly moving to Sainzs direction b...

A big fat resounding no. I believe checo is too good of a person to resort to that. And he never had provisional pole to begin with so yeah… no.

Max said he deliberately cost Lewis the win. Perez said Max won the title because of him. Be interesting to see how Max fans portray those interviews. No defending Max I can see. Yeah it's not what Max said. He said the move was on but Lewis wouldn't give him any space and he wasn't going to back o...

dam checo wasn't holding back on his interview. max won't be happy with that.

As predicted by others on here Max just lost checo’s support I reckon.

Chandhok just done a good bit of analysis, and it's clear from overhead slow-mo prior to contact with Hamilton, he was heading straight on regardless of what Hamilton did. So basically the same max verstappen. Much like Italy last year. When will he learn. There's nothing to learn from Max's perspe...

A fun sprint race. What happened to Maxs pace? Not sure if we will see the same tomorrow though. But rbr did fudge up their setup in austria on another sprint weekend so it’s possible theyve done the same here. This shows Merc could have won Mexico. They just had the wrong tires on both stints. The ...

Marko acknowledging Verstappen not on it early in the year, rather than Perez being quicker. although the 0.5 a second is a bit of an exaggeration. “You saw in the early stages of the season that Max was as fast as Perez in a car that didn’t suit his driving style. If the car fits, it’s half a seco...

Ever since Canada, Lewis has had him in his back pocket. He doesn't ever threaten for a win like Lewis has done in Zandvoort, Silverstone or last evening, he is there to pick up the pieces when others in the top 5 are having an off day. Done a decent job but the pace isn't there. Of course it's onl...

All this talk about straight line speed ignores the fact that Verstappen overtook Hamilton by outbraking him. He was still fully behind before the braking zone going into 12. He was carrying less downforce than the Mercedes and still outbraked it. Also, unlike circuits like Brazil and Austria (whic...

Voted for Verstappen, Hamilton and Vettel, but so many others deserve votes. Alonso was great, Leclerc had a good drive. It appears both the AM and Mercedes cars have made the most improvements throughout the season though. But you've got to tip your hat to Max. After the pit stop set him a couple o...

It sounds like Hamilton left 3 tenths on the table, still would not have made any difference so no harm done. Just couldn’t get any tire temp in his second run as the sun was quickly setting down. This car is so sensitive to temperature changes. His last lap was really slow throughout all the secto...

From everything ive been reading it doesnt look like there will be a point reduction or anything of the sort. Then i remember what happened to ferrari in 2019.

The FIA has to come down hard on them. The pressure will be immense for them to do that. Noone is going to buy this "minor breach" stuff. They over spent, they should pay the price. Simple as that. And I don't think a financial penalty will be satisfying. There needs to be a significant championship...

Not a fan of his but hes had an excellent season. So damn consistentlly fast from fp1 to race day. He just doesnt ever let up. I have criticized his team in the past for giving him too much support at the detriment of his teammates and they still do that imo. But this year he was the fastest package...

McLaren humbled by Alpine........ Mercedes o the backfoot.... Vettel keeping Stroll in his shade.... Latifi being consistently 20th & cementing 20th even with the 5 place grid penalty....... It's a guess from me based on what we saw the last two days but i believe Mercedes have gambled for rain wit...

Norris only was where he was due to the safety car pit stop He was fourth anyway wasn’t he? He was fifth behind Hamilton who went off and promoted Norris to fourth.

Well this just sucks.........., I get up this early morning to watch Formula 1 P3 racing in Singapore, as I watched Practice 1 and 2 yesterday - only to find Dish has removed all the ESPN channels that Sky Sports uses to broadcast F1 coverage.

That Merc is a beast on this track. Hamilton's first lap in Q3 was so much faster than anyone else. I reckon he ran out of tires or because he made 2 extra warmup laps before going for his last flyer it cost him. For me it's the fastest car around this venue. Purple in S2. But the win will be hard,...

I am a supporter of Russell's points Vs Hamilton doesn't tell the true story but I don't think you can extrapolate Sunday to mean anything. Russell was cruising and looking after his tyres whilst Lewis needed to hurry it up to make up places. The problem though he was cruising to the point of losin...

The thing that makes it a sport rather than a show is that you can't just red flag it in order to make it more exciting. The winner is the winner after following the rules and procedures set out at the start, rather than having someone orchestrate things for the show. Perhaps they can just amend th...

RB cost Perez 5th there. Early stop to hards, why? He was ahead when they pit him

They used him to get hard tire data for Max. It's quite obvious.

... Then the snake Russell shows his true colours. Happy to beat Hamilton rather than try to help the team win a race. :uhoh: If Russell doesn't make the right call either then Mercedes end up at best 3rd and 4th behind Verstappen and Leclerc. Hamilton had no defence zero laps after the restart, yo...

Even with no safety car at all I think Max wins this race regardless. He would have come back and passed both Mercedes cars on track. It wasn't that difficult to overtake with a large tire delta. Still would like to see them banning pitting under SCs or VSCs. It took all the excitement out of the ra...

kleefton

In FP and also in qualifying commentators kept on saying 0.4sec to Max is ok for Perez. That is a big enough gap for at least 2 cars in between. Although I do not think it will matter much this year as he will finish at P4 at the worse and RBR could win the constructors. He should be little worried...

Mercedes look well off not too surprising really. A combination of not being great in tyre warm up and its not that warm, not great in a straight line with a draggy car, and struggle over one lap anyway. Couple of seconds off pole, 3 tenths off Alpine. Ok this is a long track but that gap is still ...
