If it crumples without breaking or something gets caught in it then it's going to be like driving with a solid block of wood on the front. God knows what it's going to be like following someone.

There might be a rule clause about delivering other teams but guess who's got a contractual veto.

Thursday driver's conference for anyone that missed it.

Key take outs:
- Sainz didn't have a face mic and had to use a handheld mic
- Kvyat's neck was bent so far away from Frogstappen that it looks like it might've snapped
- Also he sounds like he's going to burst into tears at any moment, although he handled the questions really well, Max seems like the prissy petulant child that he is!
- Magnussen's points for Renault last race completely overshadowed, they should have replaced him with someone else (Vettel/RickyD)
- Lewis and Alonso laughing it up (17:00)

Easy to forget that Kvyat is 22 years old and has very little GP2/GP3 experience. Nando was testing for Renault at 22 and binning it in the tunnel at Monaco at 24.

Sky are plotting the removal of Arrivabene.

Tyres are going to be a thing this weekend

Turns out some teams have been running double walled rims which are designed to let air out so they get to the perfect operating window. McLaren have gone to the FIA about it and they have ruled that these tricks are illegal and Pirelli may need to install some sort of live pressure sensors. So far Red Bull has bad front graining and Renault had a mysterious tyre blow out, pirelli are investigating.

RON DENNIS SAID NOBODY GETS HONDA ENGINES UNTIL MCLAREN HAS WON A WCC.



There might be a rule clause about delivering other teams but guess who's got a contractual veto.

quote:

"If you want to win world championships, plural, which we absolutely do, you have to be aligned with a manufacturer, toe to toe, head to head, and fully prioritised," he said in an interview with F1 Racing magazine.

"And after you're begun to reap the competitive benefits of that mutually loyal one-to-one commitment, and on-track success duly begins to come, then you can consider supplying other teams, but not before," Dennis said in the interview to mark McLaren's 50th anniversary.

"Yes, we at McLaren want to be good formula one citizens, and we always have been, but altruistic behaviour of that nature must also be set against a background of fair, pragmatic and sensible business practices.

"So if you want to hear it in blunt terms, let's get to the point where we've won the world championship first and then we'll think about it," he added.
