What were they hoping to gain by Leclerc not going out?
Someone should know the typical delta between Run 1 and Run 2 of drivers below Leclerc and be able to work out he is in the drop zone.

Couldn’t believe the news. He was such an integral part of the scene. Will be hard to find a replacement who earns the same amount of respect from all concerned.

His team should have advised him, “Max, Ocon coming up behind you on fresher tyres. You are not racing him. Let him through.”

Watching just one car on circuit for three laps, only one of which was a fast lap, was one of the most boring sights in all of motor racing. And you the spectator are expected to do it 20 times over, for every […]

The talent is there, but he seems to have lost the drive, the hunger to be top dog.
Having said that, he’s looking leaner and fitter than I can remember. Maybe he’s putting in one last effort this year.

I tried multiple times. F12 – Console – Paste link at bottom where it says >>> – press Enter – nothing happens – reload Live Timing – still nothing – reboot computer – still nothing.

I noticed that the top four drivers all had a double letter in their names.
Unfortunately, No’s 9, 11, 14, 19, and 20 also had double letters in their names.
Bang goes a theory I was formulating.
