I think we’re going to have a couple of angry drivers out there. Especially after all the effort they put in.
Because that grid penalty Kimi got, has to give George his best chance of closing the gap to Kimi.

At least we now know, why Russell stopped straight after crossing the finish line. Not only did he have a water leak, but a engine component was cracked. So he’s getting a brand new engine for the race, and because it’s within allocation, no grid penalty. So hopefully that will also give him an edge over Antonelli.
Bit early to be confirmed, but just read that Ferrari’s home track at Imola could be back on the cards if any of the last 2 grand prixs get cancelled due to that unsafe nature at the moment in the middle east.
That was a great F1 circuit.

Clever from Kimi to slow down Lewis so Charles gets into the 5 second penalty window and Lewis will lose one more position.
Dominant race from Lando. Well done. Max got lucky

Just read about the penalty for speeding in the pitlane. Piastri’s gearbox failed, which is odd.
But at least, we have had a different driver on the top step.
Die inhaal actie van Max op Lewis. Briljant.

only 5 second penalty for Carlos..
IMO not enough, but the stewards decide
Their learning from the mistakes, they made last week. When they didn’t give LeClerc a 5sec penalty for his incident.
And just recorded it as a racing incident.
Ever since that mess up in 2021. Those two are the new version of Prost & Senna. I just hope for F1’s sake, that they never drive for the same team.
Put them both in a Cadillac and prove whether it is the car or the driver

I think for them as it’s their 1st season it’ll be the car. Because it’s a learning curve. But if they don’t improve and carry on propping up the grid, than I would question the drivers.
“With regards to the end of the season, we are in touch with all the other championships,” he continued. “The way that we are structured is that we will take the maximum time for us to see how the situation will develop, and we will take the decision at the right time.
“That moment will be not be before the middle of September. For us today, the races in Qatar and Abu Dhabi are confirmed.”
“But of course, if the situation will not be cleared the way that we believe it should be, before the middle of September, we will take the decision. And in that respect, I just want confirm to you that if this will not be possible, that the end of the season would be in Europe.”

This young man turned 45 today
Happy Birthday Fernando!
but he has a long way to go before he is the oldest F1 driver ever..
The oldest Formula 1 driver ever is Louis Chiron, followed by Philippe Étancelin and Luigi Fagioli. The Monegasque driver participated in the 1958 Monaco Grand Prix at the age of 58 (and 288 days), although he failed to qualify.
An eye on the statistics:
Louis Chiron: 58 years and 288 days old at the time of his last entry (Monaco 1958). His oldest race started was in Monaco 1955 at the age of 55.
Philippe Étancelin: 55 years and 191 days old during the French Grand Prix in 1952.
Luigi Fagioli: the oldest driver to ever win an F1 race, at 53 years and 22 days old (France 1951).

Just read, that Toto Wolff won’t let Antonelli & Russell, turn into a Hamilton & Rosberg battleground on the track. He’d sooner side line one of them.
Seems he’s learnt that lesson.
Just wonder if the same thing could happen at McLaren between Lando & Oscar.
easy solution . fuck Russel off do a swap with Piastri put the 2 whingers in the same team ,and yes my team is Mclaren but i would swap to Mercedes if this happened in a heartbeat lol
