Maybe are dan wants to follow in the footsteps of Alonso, winning a championship with Renault and then being a laughing stock for the rest of his life.

Do you have a source for that figure? I have a hard time believing a B+ driver is making more per year than the highest paid player in the NFL.

YEAHHHHHH!

Our girl Tatiana Calderón was awesome in the first race, steady, solid race and then WHAM gained five places in the last 3 laps.

Didn’t get to see any of this though because Sky wouldn’t shut the gently caress up about Mick Schumacher who actually only finished 5 places above her, and Alesi’s boy who was only one place ahead of her.

You go from describing how significant 5 places ahead is in your first paragraph to then saying 5 places ahead isn’t a big deal in your second paragraph.

Gained in the Last 3 laps I think was the emphasis

Not sure qualifying 2nd last and then finishing 9 places behind your teammate can be considered "awesome", except in sarcastic definitions.

Not that first-race performance really means anything either way.

Phwoar good showing so far this weekend from the Scud Lads. Still a team filled with cheats but I am completely content with the idea that Sharrrrl is going to boil Vettel's piss for the entire season.

She had a bad quali after not getting the car set up quite right and got messed about by the red flag when the car just ahead of her crashed, so had to go on the F2 alternative strategy.

Drivers in position 17-20 can try to pit really late, then find themselves in position 1-10 trying to hold back the leaders on old tyres without crashing into them, or holding up a team mate for around 5 laps. The aim is to overtake people at the end on fresher tyres. It’s incredibly rare that it works but she absolutely nailed it in her first race. Genuinely impressive from a rookie tbh.

Compare her to Alesi who with all his hype, started 15th and ended up 12th , where as she started 19th and finished 13th.
