It's true, it's Ferraris fault for extending Sebs contract for this year.

To be fair I wouldn't kneel anyway. Only because I'm a pessimist and no lives matter. Everyone is equally worthless.

And then there's Seb Vettel

I hope Hulk calls out the daddy pit stop it's so transparent and he's got nothing to lose

So, this is my first time watching an F1 race (I am here because Youtube started recommending me Chain Bear videos, and I figured it'd be kind of a waste to learn that loving much about F1 and never watch it), is Hulk meant to be the 2nd driver, except he's actually better than Stroll?

He's the standin for Perez who is currently dying from Corona or something. And yes, he is better than Stroll.

e: he somehow though can't get a podium, even if all of F1 tries to give him one, so there's that. Stroll at least managed to get a podium.

Hulk is a replacement driver. The driver who normally drives that car caught covid and had to sit out

Hulk had vibrations according to otmar and given what happened to everyone with the same problem last week I get it but I forgot how old his tires were to see if they were actually in the danger zone or not. Like I get the papa stroll jokes but I'm waiting to see if any actual stink gets brought up about it

"You treat her like a lady... and she'll always bring you home."
So I started watching F1 this season and so far my general rooting interest conclusions:

-I am hopelessly enthralled with Lando Norris and I want nothing but the best for the precious boy
-Lewis Hamilton terrifies me and I'm pretty sure he's an alien robot or something
-lol Ferrari
-A plague on the Stroll family and all their works

Do I have this about right?

I think it makes sense to give the full time driver more points than the replacement in a vacuum but it looks really bad when the normal driver is the son of the guy who owns the team and when that move maybe costs the team constructors points. Hulk could have at least fought for P5 the last two laps given he was routinely 2 seconds up on Lance

The Hulk thing makes sense to me, the team aren't inclined to care about his points total, just the teams and the permanent drivers' points. Stroll getting 2 extra points could matter at the end of the season for a position in the WDC, Hulk might not race again this season.

It's not like they "stole" a podium off him, so as lovely as it is for the team, it's the correct decision for the team.

do we think Vettel is sooooo bad because his ability has declined drastically or is it also possible that the current Ferrari is intentionally designed for Sharl , which makes certain aspects much harder for lil Seb?

Do WDC points matter outside of winning the title, though? I thought only total WCC points matter in regard to money, position of the pitbox etc.

Speaking of pitbox position: has the ruling changed? Because they seemed to be all over the place today (haven't really paid attention during the last races), instead of in WCC order.

I mean driver points matter if you want leverage for contract or salary negotiation but Stroll already has the most leverage out of anyone for obvious reasons
