Seeing as they've got themselves very comfortable leads in both the WDC and WCC at the moment, I would posit that it's actually the other teams and/or drivers that suck. But who knows, maybe in the course of this season they'll manage to suck less and grab some wins!

the only difference between sainz and leclerc is that leclerc usually starts off in front of the frog before losing to him whilst sainz rationalises the situation

Yeah that was a pretty exciting race. gently caress Max and all but he’s fast as hell and in a really good car. We’re just going to have to deal with it.



gently caress.

Also good drive from Sharl and man Mercedes has clawed their way back into relevance with the weird collapse-bodied car. I’m into it.

Yeah, I love hating on Max, but if he was racing for any other team I wouldn't hate him as much.

Remove Horner and Marko and I would probably be fine with Red Bull as a team.

There were a few different coloured bins for this weekend, not merely that McLaran's cars are poo poo and their drivers are helpless. Alpha Tauri massively failed, and I assume Haas crossed some French god. Vettel seemed to give up after his qualifying failure, but Stroll saved the day with a shiny new point and no walls were harmed...yet. The real loser of the day was Alonso who was owed better than that 7th place to a bunch of chancers gifted easy places by safety cars and cheap pitstops they did not deserve.

Relying on safety cars as a strategy is getting a bit ridiculous, I think they should limit the safety car pitstops you can do and make them less of a temptation to go in. Then if one holds a safety car pitstop in reserve that might be a better tactic later in a race than one who used theirs earlier.

lol it would be rad as hell if the FIA banned tire changes during safety car or VSC (i guess they could be allowed to fix damaged aero or deal with punctures)

e: close only the pit exit during safety car lmao

Pit stops under safety car should just come with a 5 second time penalty or something. It can be a little stronger than a regular stop but should not gain you 5+ seconds just like that. I also hate the free repairs and tire changes under red flags. Obviously disallowing it entirely is bad for safety reasons but you can add a time penalty to that as well to at least make it a little more of a tradeoff rather than having a red flag be an entire field tire reset.
