Quoted: I think it would be an improvement for sure but there isn’t a lot of overtaking opportunities, maybe it would be different with the new cars. I disagree. There needs to be a heel, Mercedes is like the evil empire in Star Wars to me. Luis has been the driver we love to hate for most of the last decade and now it looks like the torch is being passed to RUS. His comments about Williams and the incessant bitching about his failed dive bomb on Perez has made me like him a lot less in just this week alone. They’re the perfect bad guy. View Quote I gotta disagree there are plenty of other potential bad guys. Merc, Lewis, and Toto are pure toxic trash at this point. They bring nothing to the sport other than social justice warrior shitbags....and enough of the sporting world has been destroyed by that. Its not needed in F1. |

LEC seems to be upset to the point of it being out of character here, he seems to be angry at the car. Usually he immediately takes responsibility and is very down and dejected at his mistakes, here he genuinely seems to be pissed at the car.
I'm probably reading too much into it but I'm not 100% convinced it was all LEC that caused that crash. Failed To Load Title |

Quoted: The transmission is engaged when coasting. Ultimately, you want/need consistency. If you watch Charles’ qualifying run through that corner, he never sees 0% throttle. If expected (whether automated or based on driver input), this is totally workable. The minimum load is constant. The problem comes when you are on old tires and change the load mid corner. The change from 0% to that small throttle application at that point in the corner was the cause of the spin. Either Charles got greedy and messed up or he wasn’t in control of that input and wasn’t expecting it. ETA: Something I just noticed that would solve the issue. Charles saw both throttle and brake at the same time. Was that consistent through that corner for the previous laps or an anomaly? View Quote there was also some abnormal gusting right at that moment apparently. lets not forget Verstappen made kinda the same mistake in Barcelona, exited the track.. and won because leclerc engine blew... |

Ferrari botched the pit stop for sure, losing time on a rear tire, but they never cleared him. |

Carlos is now super confident and comfortable while Charles just got bitten. They should have an advantage over Red Bull in Hungary. Best case scenario, one of them will be pissed about team orders, worse case scenario is contact that takes them both out. |

Interesting theory that the new floor on the Ferrari may have been part of the reason Leclerc went off.
https://www.crash.net/f1/feature/1008545/1/ferrari-s-upgraded-floor-indirect-cause-leclerc-s-latest-dnf Basically, downforce created by new floor required them to run a setup with a pointy front end to keep the front tire deg in check, and Leclerc got caught out by some oversteer he couldn’t correct. Not sure how much I believe it, but even if they ran a setup with a bit of oversteer, the driver should be able to handle it. Sainz was able to the whole race, and Leclerc was controlling it until he went off. We’ll probably never know the real truth unless either Leclerc or Ferrari say it’s anything different than just driver error. |

Quoted: Imagine if Alonso was in Perez's car this year. View Quote I was thinking about this. Far better than Perez but old enough that Max won’t see him as a threat to his long term success at RB. IMO Alonso hasn’t lost a beat and may be driving better than ever, some of the stuff he’s been doing over the last couple seasons is simply brilliant. Max could learn a lot from him and having him as a teammate for a couple seasons may be what it takes to get Max from great driver to all time great. |

F1's newfound popularity, thanks at least in part, to the reality drama show "Drive to Survive" has definitely had an effect on prices. I went in 2015, 3 day pass, turn 1 in the bleachers. Great seats. Cost was ~700, which I still thought was ridiculous at the time. It's been a couple of years since I last checked ticket costs for the same seats, but I imagine they have gone up a bit. |

We may not know if Leclerc was taking one for the team by blaming himself instead of the car but Sainz sure did in the post race interview. At 1:10 he says “the team has done a very good job at strategy this year” compared to who? They’ve probably lost more points to poor strategy calls than the rest of the teams combined.
