They changed his front wing due to damage he apparently picked up very early in the race. Whilst they were sat in the pits waiting for the restart, the camera breifly showed the front wing and there was a big […]

In fairness, fighting it out with Verstappen at turn one has in the past generally come off bad for everyone involved. At the very least, Hamilton backing off and allowing Verstappen ahead minimised the time lost […]

RIP Murray

An icon of the sport for his commentary, which whilst gaffe strewn at times was never dull. His voice always carried a current of excitment that dragged uou along even during the quieter parts of the […]

When that fireball went up, I was absolutely convinced we were looking at a fatal accident. The way the car went in, the immediateness of the flames, it didn’t look good.

I think we all slumped with relief to […]

Can Hamilton and Perez just share it? With Hamilton’s wrestling the misbehaving Mercedes to P6 in Qualifying and then his ultimate performance balancing Perez’s Qualifying and race.

Seriously, it’s hard to […]

@Jon

You must have been watching a different race, because Hamilton didn’t spin once. He ran wide a couple of times, but thats it.

Perhaps you mistook him for the Spinning Finn?

Very enjoyable race, conditions ensured that you couldn’t predict anything beyond a couple of laps and also meant that none of the drivers wereanything than at their most focused.

Lot of drivers made some […]

From what I understand, they are allowed to change down engine modes for safety/reliability reasons, but they MUST immediately inform the stewards of what mode they have changed to and why and they can be […]

You mean Magnusson? It sounded like the was a power issue, not brakes, he probably didn’t have the momentum.

Bigger question is why the marshalls chose to push the car down to the pit lanes when there was a gap […]

One sign he could be excused for missing if he was glancing at his steering wheel display. But two is kinda sloppy.

Why didn’t the team catch it though, they got the ‘Pit closed’ message at the same time as the […]

Not the disaster it could have been or Hamilton or Mercedes.

He minimized the damage to his WDC lead opened up a bit ore of a gap to Vestappen, and Meredes increased their lead over RedBull and Ferrari, who had […]

Great race. Found myself rooting for both Gasly and Sainz, wanted both to win. They both deserved it.

Not a great race for Mercedes, but survivable and not as embarassing as Red Bull and Ferrari, they still […]

Started out interesting enough with lots of midfield action, but dropped off too much following the safety car. Pulls back some points for Gasly making an initially strange strategy work and both Renaults […]

Yes, how dare they ruin the sport by being better than the other teams. Let’s blame the team that got it right rather than the ones that dropped the ball.

This was inevitable and Binotto is probably regretting those particular words now.

If you make a claim like that when it’s not accurate, someones going to say ‘Ah, well actually….’

Mercedes are certainly […]

This idea that Verstappen crashed on purpose is rediculous.

Considering the conditions, there’s no way that they could have predicted that the car would only suffer the damage it did. A little more speed, a […]

Maybe it doesn’t make sense now we’ve had a situation arise that the rule was established for.

Namely, to stop coaching for the start, where the pitwall for feeding the drivers numerous instructions for all the […]

And all credit to the mechanics for getting it done in time, and credit to Verstappen for not backing off in a car that had just had it’s front suspension rebuilt and probably hadn’t undergone the sort of tests […]

Okay, apparently the Bold tag just removes the words you want bolded.

What I said was that they were told to pit ON THE FORMATION LAP, which is what is against the rules

Okay, guys read the article and what the stewards said. It’s not because they were told to pit, it’s because they were told to do so which is forbidden by the rules to prevent coaching for starts. This has been a […]
