F1 Official Thread - Grand Prix of Britain

Pardon my ignorance, but if they’re constantly tweaking the tire formula to make for better racing don’t they run the risk of having more incidents like these?

Tough position for Pirelli, if I'm honest. Hard to find a good balance on tyre longevity (which would make races boring) or shorter lifespan (which would give us good drama, but drivers will complain TF outta it). Remember how tyres would fall off the cliff and lose a ton of performance? Good for the viewers, but not from a marketing pov. Not that this situation is good for them anyway. But seeing a lot of fans already blaming Pirelli for this without even letting them investigate. For what it's worth, Scarbs thinks that it might be debris-related.

Meanwhile... Nascar.

Aston looked good today. $troll was P4 I think when he crashed and Seb finished podium.

He was in P4, but was on the opposite strategy... started on the Hards and had yet to box. Had he been able to complete his stint, I think he would have came back out in P9/10... which would have been a huge jump from his P19 starting position. Plus, on fresher tyres, probably would have been able to gain a spot or two.

we need an investigation about Masis incompetence to put out the SC immediately after both crashes (Stroll and Max). There is zero reason for it taking so long and risking lives.

Driver meeting before the French gp will be intense...

That crash by Felix over the weekend was properly scary. Could have easily broken his legs.

Hopefully KMag will have a better run with McLaren this time around.

Happy for Esteban.

Great driver, he deserves it

 

[Sinner]

This MFer...
Sounds like he didn't think he did anything wrong... which is a huge red flag.

Some interesting replies...

These graphics are getting worse and worse.
I don't even think this is an AWS special

Seems like Mercedes has the edge here

The graphic with them giving out a score out of 10, but the fastest guy not getting a 10/10 still gets me.
