8/10 before the red flag, 4/10 after the red flag
So 6/10 overall.

In 2021 the tyre allocations are fixed.

Slightly agree. We all know that qualifying carries certain benefits in a race, and qualifying bears more importance in certain scenarios (e.g. street circuits) and less importance in other scenarios. This is a […]

3/10.

Crofty didn’t want to say it but I’ll say it: more penalties than the Euros.

Perez did his job of being a wingman to Verstappen. Held off Hamilton for most of the race and was in position to capitalize on the mistakes of his rivals to claim victory.

6/10. Interesting midfield battle, but ruined by late safety car. Commiserations to Racing Point and hope Grosjean is OK.

I don’t think it goes back to 0; there’s like a fresh 5 points slapped on for good measure that expires 12 months later. Just to keep a banned driver on probation of sorts.

7/10. Solid midfield battles after the restarts.

3/10. Like watching paint dry.

6/10. Blatant favouring of Hamilton over Bottas.

7/10. A slow burner but the last lap was amazing. If the race stopped one lap earlier I’d rated it a 3.

7/10

Interesting strategy. Got boring after the VSC.

3.

Look, I love that this is my home race, but the racing is all so boring. Thank goodness for Red Hot Chili Peppers performing afterwards so the fans who paid good money got some entertainment.

I’ll have what you’re having.

3/10, and only because Bottas/Leclerc and Norris/Ricciardo/Raikonnen gave us something exciting in the last few laps.

Verstappen’s weak penalty ruined it for me, honestly. Isn’t the penalty for unsafe release a drive-through?

Unfortunately, the only other thing that can kill a career faster than a bad car is no car at all. You get rusty, no chance to showcase your talents, junior formulae won’t take you back. The only thing that you […]

RaceFans understands team principals were largely ambivalent to the plan, but were reluctant to support changing a system which they believe is working well.

Got it in one line there! Qualifying is the thing […]

“HAASney, I shrunk the car!” – Will Buxton

They did that at the beginning of the V6 era, and people were complaining about Renault cars getting ridiculous penalties carried over to the next race. So they scrapped it. IMO it’s a better option than what they […]
