van der Linde should have a race ban and Winward should be thrown out of the championship

With all the money Stroll has, why is he paying 7% to investors for lending Aston Martin money when he could perfectly lend the money himself?

Mercedes made the right call, it’s Lewis not coming in when the team said Box box box that made the next 25 laps a mess.

As a Verstappen fan, I have to agree. Red Bull was the fastest car in the second quarter of the season. However it looks like Mercedes has the upper hand again ever since the mid season break.

Hard disagree on « they had to try it ». It was obvious that the track was quite wet at that point, wetter than it had been earlier in the race.
A bold strategy would be going long on the first set and then pit […]

The driver does whatever he wants. It’s when team bosses start giving instructions (like the Russel shouldn’t fight a Mercedes too hard by Toto) that I’m getting worried.

Perez qualified a bit too low for me to be driver of the weekend. After considering Bottas, I ended up voting for Gasly.

So drivers are actually not required to pit at least once?
I was quite confused seeing Leclerc, Hamilton and Ocon going for a 0 stop

If you want to drive ‘slow’ on the autobahn, you can. In my experience no one is actually going at 200 kph on it, the fastest drivers may do 160-170 kph while a good chunk hover around 140 kph. Fuel consumption […]

That’s a Senna level belief in his own abilities, great attitude IMHO

They actually don’t race as one: W series is for females only…

I don’t really see anything wrong with the track F1 wise, looks like Sakhir to me

Qatar isn’t really known for its hills and mountains…

Perfect

2020 was that special because of the rain, I doubt we would have had anywhere near that amount of chaos on the dry

48h after the race and Mercedes still hasn’t come up with a credible reason for making Bottas start last. No wonder people are making up their own theories.

They should just straighten the corner. The drivers clearly don’t mind getting within inches of the barrier at 200 kph.

Verstappen did not check out the fastest way through the escape route on his reconnaissance lap @f1osaurus. There’s a difference between bailing out of the corner because a crash is likely and planning to not even […]

I never heard of a driver trying out the fastest way through the escape route on the reconnaissance lap. It’s not an ‘escape route’ if it’s premeditated before the race has even started.

I disagree. He never tried to make the corner and perfectly optimized his route back to the track. There’s no way he would have been ahead of Ricciardo had he tried to make the corner.
