Fernando Alonso is the greatest loving race car driver of all time. Everyone is absolute dogshit in comparison.

Lando is the new Nick Heidfeld

Someone please take George Russell skiing off piste

You never disappoint, Ferrari

lol what even happened with the mercs

Car eats it’s tires, floor working incorrectly, ride height too high.



I also think the engine simply isn’t very good - or rather the Honda and Ferrari are better now. During the Perez-Alonso battle for example Fernando’s engine was clipping at the end of straights and using way more electrical power.

Had Tsunoda not spun and had a slow pit stop he likely would have also caught Hamilton. They were legitimately slower than the Alpha Tauris here.

Nando does double-duty as team strategist, he formulates plans on the fly by watching the spectator screens while driving and computing complex scenarios which he feeds back to the team to let them know

That is why he is indeed Magic

I think red bull nailing the floor has given it such a huge advantage that the red bull engineers are probably laughing at the bullshit other teams have to go through. Floor doesn't work so you gotta play with downforce on the top side of the car, fucks up the balance, increases drag and makes the car a pig to drive when the floor is stalling out randomly. Raise the ride height so the floor is not stalling out, loose ground effect downforce and the cycle continues.

Happy for Lando and Alonso, what an awesome finish.

George saying after the restart "I'm not going to challenge Lewis, we need to work together" and then a lap later asking to be let past should be the breaking point

  • Says he's not going to challenge
  • Whines about Hamilton being too slow one lap later, asks to challenge
  • A couple laps later he falls out of DRS range of the teammate he said was too slow, iirc in part because he forgot to use DRS on one straight
  • Gets overtaken, blames Hamilton

Mercedes-Benz, at least currently, seems to have no idea what is wrong with the car.

It seems like the sprint weekends often have at least one team just messing up the setup entirely due to only having one practice session

thats kind of why I think their floor is hosed. they have to make all these compromises to make the car competitive and it just completely loving falls apart randomly like it did today

Maybe as opposed to a sprint they just have a 30 minute and 1 hour race on Saturday-Sunday.

I'm pretty firmly of the opinion that if you killed any sort of pit stop and just had a 45minute to 1 hour race and you're stuck with whatever tire you chose that would produce far more compelling racing since you'd force people into errors and having to manage their tires versus just driving to a delta until those tires are done and then resetting onto whatever tires you want. But I'm also pretty convinced that the average F1 fan would want to go full American school shooter on me for even suggesting that so I doubt we're ever going to get that

because it's a truly terrible idea

the only interesting strategy mid race is undercutting versus burning your tyres into the ground

Pretty much no chance of Lewis catching Checo in the WDC now, huh?

And as long as we're sharing our bad ideas: Drivers should be able (and possibly required) to radio each other some number of times during each race, with every message being broadcast. This would be a very tacky and "impure" addition to the sport, but it might make things more interesting as Max wins every race by 30+ seconds for the next 8 years.

In RIC's post-race interview he says they were expecting to have him and PIA unlap before the restart as per rules but the Race Director for whatever reason wasnt having a bar of it
Pity because they both made up 30-40sec on the field which shows they had good race pace
