Completely agree. Sainz clumsy overtake of Vettel forced Vettel to take evasive action to avoid a collision. If they collide Sainz is 100% at fault but Vettel’s race is ruined.

Stewards are consistent, consistently inconsistent. GAS stated immediately that he was sandwiched. No way he was 100% at fault.

Why do I get the feeling that the championship will be decided by Mazepin? He is going to take out someone as they lap him before the end of the season.

Totally agree. Sainz pass on Vettel would have been a crash if Vettel didn’t completely back out and stop in the corner.

I think First Lap Fernando will be the one to watch at the start.

I love Hamilton the driver but just laugh at Hamilton the woke warrior. What’s wrong with the Met Gala? Let’s see. Flying from Italy to NYC for a party doesn’t seem environmentally friendly. I think tickets are i […]

Advantage Red Bull for remainder of season. The RB pit crew is much more consistent. The cars and top drivers are evenly matched. The 2nd drivers, one is pressing too much and the other has less to race for as the […]

More sprint race weekends mean less practice. Going to be fun in the new cars.

Every other year at one. Same with the other great tracks mentioned in previous posts.

But, but, but We race as one. Maybe they should suspend that pre-race bs for the rest of the season?

Do DRS trains really exist? Everyone seems to think so. But the lead car of the “train” doesn’t have DRS and theoretically should be passed by the car behind.

Mercedes plays the long game every race. The fact that Ham was behind RIC sometime in the middle of the race is irrelevant. Fuel consumption, brake wear, and tire wear need to be considered to finish.

In Alonso’s defense, he only exceeded track limits. You get 3 strikes, then a warning, and finally a penalty.

Didn’t Alonso start on the right side of the grid? He had to cut left to hit the shortcut. That is why he “lost” a spot heading into the turn he was never going to turn in to.

DRS being disabled should have been the deciding factor.

Direction was awesome. Closeup of a shoe shaking was thrilling tv. Who wants to see overtakes when tuning in to a race?

Norris. Not sure he would have kept Hamilton back if it stayed dry. Also, I know it was lap 1 but Alonso and a few other drivers cut the corner and passed multiple drivers. Should have been penalized.

I will try to watch more races but won’t be getting peacock streaming to do it.

Drivers only back out when they are reasonably assured they will finish the race in an acceptable place.
