Possibly. But on fresh rubber hard to say. But great race to watch.
Christian making excuses for Max.
But with LeClerc not winning RB just step a bit closer to the WC.
I get the comments about Horner, but the biggest unknown in the paddock right now is just what is under those covers that make the RB18 so quick.
This was minor damage to the floor.
Adrian’s designs historically have been extremely fragile when something is cracked or disturbed.
Notice LeClerks Ferrari was hardly effected by loosing its front wing end foil.
Just sayin…… 😉
What the yellow was at the very end of the race?
Or am I imagining that?
Link...?
SAINZ!!

Just watched the F1 official highlights video and so glad they Sky commentators were not used on the British FTA feed today. David Croft screaming over the top of the action reminds me of James Allen all those years ago and it must be so annoying listening to that every race. We need it full time back on channel 4 as today it was brilliant.
It was. Last year they didn’t use their own commentary and it was awful.
If I was him I’d get that printed as a poster for my wall! So lucky.
Yeah they were those pathetic no oil protestors, shows how dumb they are with F1 trying to push for synthetic fuel or is it bio fuel?
Well, that was quite the race. I just finished watching British GP, off ESPN Go.
Say what you will about the new aero regulations, it certainly has made following a car much easier and thus led to a lot more drama at the front of the pack.
That multi lap duel between Perez, LeClare, and Hamilton was a real nail biter. You could hear the crowd roar when Lewis finally got past Charles and took off after Checko.
Congrats to Carlos. Being number two at Ferrari is never an easy job. (I always had a soft spot for Rubens Barrichello, and whenever he grabbed a win from Schumacher, I was cheering.)
Nigel Mansel said on the grid that Ferrari was keeping him in the garage as a good luck charm. Maybe he will follow them to Austria.

Not sure if that is sarcasm. I HOPE it is. Like him or not, Lewis still has game.Lewis needs to retire, he’s lost his talent, it’s all about the car
If course it’s sarcasm, I said that in the closing laps of the race when Lewis was demonstrating to the Drive to Survive fans and Sir Jackie that they have no idea what there are talking about
.My boy Charles is getting murdered by Ferrari , I think he is going to replace Lewis when the times come , he is a poster boy for them , quick , mature , team player and can sell the brand really well , I just cant fathom how the entire grid moved to softs aside from him , crazy , also they didnt replace the front wing when he pitted early in the race , that alone was worth the lengthier stop.
Hoping for dry races so he can grab pole and just hope for no reliability issues and win some easy races , every race for him is a war , either its Max or Ferrari itself he needs to beat , I think they still have a very quick car , so hoping for some good results until the summer break.

Ferrari is a shambles. That they are winning races is mind blowing to me.
That said, I'm very happy for Carlos he and Lando are two of my faves.
That’s very true. Ferrari of the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s were largely a shambles for the most part and much of that was partly down to Enzo’s arrogance and political hunger. They hit a sweet spot with their poaching from Benetton in the mid 90’s but seem to once again be competing technically with mediocre management struggling behind the scenes. It’s good to have them back in the mix though
The fact that they struggle to win is simply due to the fact that F1 is F1.That’s very true.

“Flat out, flat broke”
Honda, Toyota, Ford, BMW…some of the largest and richest manufacturers have taken their swing at F1 and struck out. (Honda and Ford did win…but still gave up.)
That Fiat (aka Ferrari) can still put wins on the board says a lot in my book.
If you go WAY back, and look at Euro Grand Prix racing from the beginning, until now….two teams have tended to be dominate…Daimler-Benz…and Ferrari even when it was Alfa and Enzo ran the team, pre-WW2. D-B took a long break from F1 in the late 50s until the 90s. But almost every other era those two teams have dominated.
And I am not a fanboy of either team.
My favorite teams are Torro Rosso (aka Minardi), McLaren (purely sentimental), Hass, and Alpine (Renault). You can tell I like underdogs. 😎

Well, the team let him down this year with the radical design change.If course it’s sarcasm, I said that in the closing laps of the race when Lewis was demonstrating to the Drive to Survive fans and Sir Jackie that they have no idea what there are talking about.
But after such a long run at the top, it was bound to happen. Looks like they are slowly working out the kinks.
McLaren better watch out for Alpine…even old man Alonso is putting on a good show this season.
