lolz Checo. I guess he really wanted to do well at home

 

[pmtotheam]

Some very questionable strategies up and down the grid so far

 

[Kinfolk]

Charles is right this standing start is about to be chaos!

Edit: everyone made it

Lando
Danny Ric
Logan

AM went from possibly the 2nd best car to the 2nd worst

What a sensational drive by Lando.
And a solid points finish for Oscar... sounded like he might have had damage.

 

[Sinner]

That's harsh on Charles... that was not his fault.

Also...
Yikes.

 

[zeroregret]

Hopefully Lewis and Charles don't get dsq this time. Solid drive by DR. Nice to see him in the points and making a case for the RB seat.

 

[Sinner]

Fantastic job by Daniel. AT's were quick today. Yuki seemed like he turned into Oscar (still need to see the onboards), but shame for him. Could have had a much better result.

If we only looked at the Mercedes of George Russell this season, we’d think the Mercedes was slow.

Over 1 lap it’s close between Ham and Rus, but in the races it hasn’t been close. George is getting properly spanked. If not for the DQ last week Lewis could finish 100 pts clear of Rus

Glad it’s obvious now that the .005mm that was missing from the plank last week wasn’t the reason for HAM’s P2 in COTA.

Jenson Button said that most drivers would’ve fallen off a cliff if fitted with the Mediums for so long.


I hope everyone is appreciating Lewis while we still have the honor to witness him racing!

 

[zeroregret]

Completely agree. I saw so many people saying that George beat Lewis last season because they failed to understand that he was doing all of the set up testing

 

[the natural mystic]

Lewis

Lando was rapid as well.

 

[Kinfolk]

Uh oh

 

[dragicon]

Uh oh

Who is this guy or what might he be implying?

Gut says Nando and Perez shenanigans

Either that or he just heard what Alpha Tauri’s new name will be for next season and it’s a complete abomination

Who is this guy or what might he be implying?

He’s the guy who does a lot of the F1 explained videos on F1 TV. He breaks news from the paddock throughout the season as well.



Aston being sold to the Saudi’s is very realistic considering the Lawrence Strol chatter from the last month.

Also I heard something about Toyota trying to enter…

 

[Sinner]

Albert was a Super Aguri mechanic back in the day.
He's now working for Spain's F1 coverage, but also does a lot of great technical features for F1 TV.
Some of his scaled models of F1 tech is amazing.

Having said that... why say anything, when you can't say anything? It's just irresponsible and pointless.

I did a little deep dive on reddit, and at this time, the most plausible one sounds like maybe they are not renewing the Mexican GP for next year.

Yeah seems like it.

But the more I read, the more it seems Alonso retiring is it.

 

[Kinfolk]

 

[Sinner]

UGH... FFS... we had the pace.

 

[Kinfolk]

It’s cute now but how long before Helicopter Mom crosses the line and is told to shut up?

 

[Sinner]

 

[rwfanatic]

That camera angle they had over Alonzo’s shoulder was sick.

 

[Kinfolk]

The joke stopped being funny.

It’s unbelievable how F1 is essentially a league of extremely intelligent engineers competing against each other/ overseeing the sport and these said brilliant people can almost never apply their own rules fairly or correctly or with a modicum of consistency.

Lando

Max gonna get him by lap 5 anyway smh
