I guess it just means they have the time to create two races worth of spares. Does the trackside team run parts production when not at races – you’d think parts production wouldn’t travel? Is more budget freed up […]

@jerejj – Sky commentary indicated at the time that Race Control had said the GPS had indicated Lance was still on the circuit, hence the safety car call.

I imagine it’s a slip of the keyboard and they meant 26 cars…

And sounded like that!

No they’re not @MrDan.

AM were found to have had a procedural breach along with Williams.

Fromthe Sky Sports website:

Aston Martin, who were previously rumoured to have also overspent, only committed a […]

My understanding is Charles would have been expected to give the position over to Checo due to gaining a lasting advantage. As that didn’t happen before the end of the race, a time penalty is the next sanction. […]

Sadly it was true to form for Mr Lazenby and his red top journalistic approach to anything in F1.

Always looking to make drama where there isn’t really any or it doesn’t help matters.

I don’t really see w […]

Apparently the interview only aired recently (according to the article about it in the Gaurdian).

So Lewis is being childish and is receiving the usual hate here yet Seb wanders around the pit lane on Friday with his undies over his race suit and no one is calling that out?

It’s a similarly pointed c […]

Lol indeed. I’m increasingly now finding the Sky team excruciating.

Also looks like the saving grace of Brundle is missing this week as well. So it’s whiny mcwhinyface alongside Crofty.

I know they won […]

Indeed or identify a point on the car being overtaken that the front wheels of the overtaking car has to be at to be considered “alongside”.

I think unless Red Bull and Ferrari can get 2 cars to routinely finish, Merc could sneak the constructors with solid rather than stellar finishes.

Whilst it’s good to see cars being able to follow more c […]

You would have thought a new straight would have been the perfect test of whether the aero changes were going towork without the need for DRS…

oh well.

Did I miss something or is Fred Vasseur no longer Team Principal at Alfa?

According to the Interwebs Xevi Pujolar is Head of Trackside Engineering?

Or an aero device?

That’s a lot of cooling vents down the flanks – new approach to exhausts?

Or is this something that’s inherited from the show car?

@jerejj – *should* happen – but with the way decisions seem to have been pulled out of a hat at random this year by the inconsistent stewards I wouldn’t be surprised if he did it and got away it.

I think the issue with banning team orders was the teams simply invented a series of code words to mask them.

So I personally think they can’t be banished in any meaningful form.

Sadly, I think we have to a […]

@tungdil12 – I would assume so.

My understanding is he will start in front of Max as Valtteri takes a 10 place drop from 7th to 17th. Max is starting plum last?

It does seem a very illogical tactical decision though, when the constructors is […]
