THIS.

Agreed.  You shouldn’t be able to rejoin after skipping off the line, either pull off the move, back out or rejoin from the back.  It may be easier to determine improper behavior by the stewards as well.

VB gaining on Ocon off-camera with the gap dwindling for P3 was everything.

Max sadly hasn’t learned how to race tough but clean. He doesn’t know how, and RB and Papito have groomed his attitude thus far.

Example. Not a clear case of being ‘influenced’ by teams, but just hand down the call already. None of this ‘offer’ bullshit.

Noted. lol

Danny and Lando are the Corsican Bros.

He could also be head of FIFA, IOC, SPECTRE...take your pick. 🐙

No shit Sherlock. He is often treated like a substitute teacher where teams believe they can (and do) lean on him/influence him because he lets them.

Those days are long gone.  As much as I revere the romance and the charisma and sheer giftedness of Senna, I look back and see a lot of shitty on track behavior, not to mention Schumi.  This kind of behavior on track is no longer accepted.  Race hard, bang wheels, even clip wings, but race fair.

68 bar, that’s like an entire left leg. +980 psi

Yup

He needs to spend a week with Sir Jackie Stewart and work on his ‘mind management’.  He is being groomed by RB to be a whiny, dirty driver.  I suspect if Merc win next week, Mr. Horner go bye-bye...

The track was OK, just needs moar sandtraps.  Drivers will then know they have only one option going into T1 or other key corners:  Get it right, or DNF.

Michael Masi needs to be on the next Trebuchet out of Abu Dhabi. He is incapable of controlling a race and adjudicating penalties with confidence or certainty.

I think as legendary as Max (is) and will one day be, he lacks mind management in close battles. As soon as it looks like he’s in danger of losing the lead he goes DEFCON7. If he (mentally) trained further for that, he’d probably get a shot at multiple titles. He should also fire his dad at this point, leave him in…

I’ll let Fly Guy tell it...

Crashado won a race tho...

“Weird Science”...?

Jalopnik sucks, I’ll be back on here later...
