They must have talked before, but with Vettel not deciding on his future until Wednesday evening, Aston couldn’t have given Alonso a real offer on paper much earlier than yesterday.

So Alonso said this weekend that he wants to continue with Alpine and they could agree in ten minutes, then gets upset with Ocon during the race and gets offered a ton of money from Stroll and signs immediately? […]

Herta has a contract with Andretti I think, and the drivers haven’t been confirmed for Indycar, just that they have a McLaren contract – so at least one of them will drive for their new Formula E team.

@bascb That crossed my mind as well, I assume most near-top level driver contracts have a clause like that. Still, that should require him to be offered an actual race drive.

Yes it’s definitely starting to look like that, even the wording Ricciardo’s comment didn’t feel 100% reassuring to me, and now Palou’s team saying it’s about competing in F1…

As for McLaren, a slightly […]

Do we know if his contract is with the McLaren F1 team specifically or McLaren Racing? With Palou announced to McLaren Racing, not the Indycar team, and Ricciardo saying he’s “committed to McLaren”, I still don’t […]

And I’d guess the quality of the gravels matter in the outcome as well. Not exactly the same, but I read MotoGP rider interviews this years saying how bad it was to fall at Portimao and how much better it was at […]

Do we know how long he was stuck in the car before they got him out?

I agree, getting his hands knocked off the wheel made it looked worse from the outside, but he definitely missed the corner just to compromise Grosjean.

@stjs16 His race engineer said it was bodywork damage at one point.

Throwing away 13 points for Leclerc by keeping him out, it’s almost a brilliant level of messing up the WDC chances.

I think you may have missed a little race in the middle of France this weekend. Although with still only Toyota as a major manufacturer in Hypercar, it’s hard to get too excited this year, hopefully Peugeot and […]

Does Fernando consider this “social media talk” or…?

Two drivers had an accident in the exact same spot, and this guy just shook it off. I understand that they might not have predicted it, but saying this afterwards is… I can’t even find the words, because it’s […]

If you crash into me again I’ll snap your neck with a smile!

But that Panthera team would have been good enough just before covid? Come on, this makes no sense, I hope someone finds out soon what’s really behind the current push back against having more teams.

@bosyber Ah, I was sitting a bit further away from my screen and must have misread, sorry about that. I agree @dmw.

I think the incident when he pushed Bottas off track was said to be investigated after the race, at least that’s what I remember reading on screen during the race. @bosyber

@keithcollantine this isn’t the final result, it was standing about 8 laps before the end

And I replied to the wrong comment lol
