Re: 2018 Azerbaijan Grand Prix Free Practice & Qualifying Th
Ferrari are in big trouble here. They are miles off the pace. I wouldn't read much into this. Perez and Ocon up that high? I would read more into the improvement of Force India, then i would into Ferrari not showing real pace in FP1. Based on recent seasons, isn't this as close we get to a perfect ...

Re: Vettels steering wheel and blown exhausts
I'd love if the paddles did literally nothing, and were designed to have Mercedes & Red Bull waste time trying to figure it out. Inspired by the "OMG WHAT IS HIDDEN" after Vettel removed the wheel last season..

Re: Let's talk about this 10 second penalty thing...
I too prefer a drive through penalty. However, I think people are misunderstanding the point of the penalty. It is not to lose places, or to impact the result. It is a handicap.

Everyone called it and everyone was spot on, it's not Monaco. Mercedes strategy team can't deal with pressure. Everyone that called it, assumed Hamilton had new softs. He had 6 lap old softs . He had 6 lap old softs from Q2? They would still be better than the mediums, still the wrong call by Merc....
