View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: "We know the car's bad, just drive it" Toto gets full points for Best Comment of the Race. Want to criticize the car? Don't do it over public air waves. I think it's more about a driver being in his head and worrying about so many things beyond his control. Toto's firm responses were to get him focused back on the job at hand: driving. Even Toto called the car slow over the air--so I don't think it's about open criticism |

Quoted: Why? For holding up Perez for a few laps? Had Sainz kept his car in the lines, he potentially could've been on the podium too. View Quote Perez if he didn’t have to battle sainz for 5 laps and kill his tires there had the potentiel to go get leclerc in my opinion. No way sainz could have resisted the tripled DRS. It’s a miracle he held that long. It last until he couldn’t let perez be stupid enough to overtake him before the last activation zone |

Not for going off and everyone missing it, but for penalties not applied for infractions noted. ETA: Now it appears that they noted the same incident twice. Messy… |

View Quote The only ones poised to benefit would be Stroll, Alonso and/or Sainz, I believe? I don't think anyone else was within a 5 sec window. (btw, I hate all these post-race games, even if it benefits "my team". Wish the stewards could just deal with this shit in a timely and consistent manner. It ruins the race experience imo) |

(btw, I hate all these post-race games, even if it benefits "my team". Wish the stewards could just deal with this shit in a timely and consistent manner.

I know that there is a specific timeframe that referrals need to be filed and a specific timeframe that the steward has to address them. Obviously there is a breakdown in policy. If those time-frames were not adhered to, then appeals will be filed and upheld. |

I wonder if Ferrari would have had two cars on the podium had they switched Sainz and LeClerc early. Sainz was absolutely flying.
Norris is a monster at Spielberg. Hard to tell if it was the upgrades or just him today. I lean mainly towards Norris. |

To me it’s horseshit. Either the infractions are noted and given during the race or they are not.
If they change the standing now it’s pure bs. Imagine if for example Verstappen gets a 5sec penalty now? Leclerc wins ? Verstappen would have never gone for the pit stop and fastest lap of the penalty was given in due time. |

Max is such a douche nozzle
“I’m 70 pts up in the Driver’s Championship and about to win this race. Should I allow my teammate to at least have the satisfaction of keeping one point for fastest lap? No, let me risk the win so I can take that point away.” The only reason I watch anymore is hoping someone puts that asshole into a wall so I can listen to the whining. |

Ooof. That promotes Lando to P4 and Nando to P5, dropping Sainz to P6. |

Yuki didn’t come out as bad on the penalty buffet as I expected.
Ocon got hammered, bad day for sure. Glad to see Alonso move up a position but AM stirring the pot still leaves a bad taste in my mouth. The track definitely needs to be changed in those corners given the announcement that it’s on the schedule till 2030. |

Here’s an idea:
Qualifying - Strict enforcement of track limits. Race - No passing outside the limits. |

What's with the track today that so many people couldn't stay in line?

Quoted: What's with the track today that so many people couldn't stay in line?

I think others mentioned the corners weren’t designed well. Sargent suggested they put a car width strip of turf just on the other side of the white line. |

I think others mentioned the corners weren’t designed well. Sargent suggested they put a car width strip of turf just on the other side of the white line. Pretty much, the FIA already recommended to the track to add gravel on the outsides of T9/10 and get rid of the concrete that's just outside the track. |

Fixing that one corner so that it doesn’t have that awkward intrusion into the racing line would do wonders.
Fix that and ALSO put that ‘slippery’ fixed gravel outboard of the curb. |
