Tough break for Ferarri but the WCC was always going to be a long shot

No sense in renewing until they know Max is commited beyond 2026 as well.

Tbf the VSC wouldn’t have helped as the field was pretty spread at the time. And a full safety is quite a big intervention for relatively minor debris, slightly off line. Also, it was about to be when ppl started pitting so throwing a safety car would have given most drivers a free pitstop and potentially killed the race. I don’t like how it was handled but can understand why they did what they did at least.

They could have even just mandated that everyone go through the pits for a lap

Is this so they can satisfy Doohan’s contract and then put Colapinto in the car next year?

Sulayem really needs to go, is anyone running against his re-election next year?

Kinda feel for Lewis, for once the team don’t fuck his setup after a good practice and he mades a mistake in Q3.

Basically just didn’t prepare the tyres correctly.

"The drivers that have done a better job are the ones that have managed to put temperature in the tyres - and I have no idea what I have done wrong on that last lap.

"But I definitely did something wrong because the tyres felt so bad and when I got into Turn 1, I had zero grip and that is a bit of a shame.

"I felt like the pace was there, but the preparation of the tyre was really bad on my side.

"We’ve had no doubt the characteristics of our car fitting the track, however, we had a big doubt on how quickly we could manage to put temperature in the tyres.

“Unfortunately, the worry was right because we’ve been struggling with that since FP1, but Carlos has understood something about it that I didn’t quite manage to reproduce.”

Would have been nice to hear about this at the time, but can see how the teams showing a united front was necessary to show the FIA up.

I thought the main reason Canada was during the European leg was due to weather concerns. Won’t moving it to May just mean a greater chance of rained out sessions?

The ‘new evidence’ was the stewards’ decision itself, saying that it incorrectly stated that Max was the defending driver. They wanted argue that Lando was ahead at the breaking zone, so technically he became the one defending into the corner and by Max running wide he was at fault.

I think the main purpose of this was to highlight how silly the first to the apex rule is, since it essentially allows you miss the corner without consequence.

So does this mean Haas won’t use Dallara anymore?

RBPT will be it’s own thing a since Honda is coming back with Aston.

There was an F2 driver that got 9 points in one race a few years back

Lame

Sulayem won’t be happy

Yeah, saw comments on the other site saying that Maylånder deliberately caused the spin to scrub off speed.

The safety car usually does some test runs on the thursdays, Mayländer must have crashed for once.

I think a big part of the discrepancy is due to the British GP being Lewis’ first win in a long time.
