    Indeed everybody has complaint’s about this. They should have faster cars for safety cars, but money rules and a spectator can’t buy an lmp2 car for example and there you go…

    I can resist anything but temptation.

      @louisbosco:

      @Seul:

      Hamilton complaining the safety car wasn't giving its all in the straights had me in tears…

      because he expects a road going Aston Martin to be as quick as an F1 car.. 🤣🤣🤣

      Well, in his defence, Max has been bitching about exactly the same thing all season…..

        This sums up pretty well much how I feel about F1 and the FIA at the moment…..

          The good thing about decision making is that it has a rule of thumb and that is that you end up where you belong after a season of whatever it is you do.

          No one in the world can say that this championship is stolen because the winner is on top of pretty much every statistic from this year one could consider. And that it was done in a car that wasn’t the fastest one driven by a 24yr old should lead to nothing but appreciation.

          As far as rules concern I think the sport would benefit if there would be a fixed team of stewards who do their job throughout the season and that it is transparant who they are and why they made it to the team.

          I realize that decision making can be harsh and can feel unjust. For example at Silverstone  we could have lost a youngster by a mistake of his opponent and he got away with a 10sec penalty which of course was no penalty at all…

          I can resist anything but temptation.

                  not sure about replay streams unless you have playback on a pay-tv app that might be geographically locked. but the highlights will be on YouTube..

                    @Giles that works for me. Ferrari are back 💪🏼💪🏼🔴🔴

                    also as a random fun fact. the use of number 1 is cursed. the last time a driver used the number 1 on their car was Vettel in 2014 after he won 4 titles with red bull. he did not win a single race that season..

                    he also retired the first race of that season 👀👀

                          Mindblowing spectacle!! Great to see how the Ferrari and RB drivers interact. Being a dutchie I could have appreciated a victory for Leclerc. What a season, yet again, this promises to be.  I think in a few races Mercedes will get their car up to speed and then we have three teams in the mix!

                              I’m not so sure about that; I believe that driver 63 lost 32 seconds in the remaining 10 laps over a battling driver 1 and 16.

                                Roll your eyes all you want, but that Netflix series got me into F1, which has had a halo effect of renewing my interest in WEC. Happily, my wife has come along for the ride. We may wind up in Austin for the GP, but thoroughly enjoyed this weekend's races. Very happy for Checo while also disappointed for Leclerc (at least he finished and has someoen else to blame this time out).

                                At this point I enjoy the teams so much that I haven't felt the need to adopt anyone as a fan. I am sure that will change.

                                Think it, be it.

                                  it's almost like Ferrari have been given a title winning car and don't know what to do with it. this past 2 races have me scratching my hate in anger about what their engineers and strategists are up too

                                    It seems to this newb that Ferrari has had the drivers, the car performance / reliability, and the team, but they haven't had them all at the same time. Then again, maybe the team doesn't belong in that statement.

                                    Think it, be it.

                                      @mclaincausey agreed. except they really got an awful car last year + the down side of luck on strategies.

                                        Gutted for Ferrari. Hoped for Checo to win but it is good to see Hamilton so close to the podium again.

                                        Think it, be it.
