Nothing demonstrates the excess of F1 quite like using a helicopter to film a man on a scooter

Re: F1 Race
So now we not only have Ferrari's that won't go, they won't stop either.

Re: F1 Race
The penalties were unfair imho. Seeing how they don't get that much for being reckless and actually causing accidents. Was quite pleased to see a certain young man getting so far back up the pack, despite many hating on him.

Re: F1 Race
They're always gonna come down hard and firm on entering the pitlane when the red light is on. There's not much else they can do.
It was a slam dunk case, he definitely did it. All the other teams would have cries foul immediately. Even Lewis realised he had done it and said "oh shit!".

Re: F1 Race
They're yellow crosses to show the lane is closed. Mercedes and Hamilton agree. Mercedes even spotted it themselves a fraction too late to make a difference.

There wasn't a red flag, but there should have been something more prominent.
Have you ever driven a vehicle at 150 on track in racing conditions.
Rules made by accountants don't work.
Re: F1 Race
When Hamilton came in to the pits, I thought it was quite dangerous that the pits were open with cars blasting past close to the marshals pushing the Haas away. Of course the pits weren't open.
I then thought there should have been red lights at the entrance to the pits, but then, on seeing the entrance to the pits that would probably have been bad as it would mean any driver seeing them would have to swerve back onto the track at the last minute.
It made fo a fun race though.

Exactly. You'd be forgiven for thinking "the accountants" had already thought of that.
Totally agree it's hard to look at flashing lights at speed, which is part of the reason they have radios. The team cocked up though and were duly penalised. They've held their hands up...not that they were ever really gonna do anything else!

Re: F1 Race
So first practice done, a bit over 30s a lap quicker than Marc's lap record at the MotoGP

Re: F1 Race
No kidding, at least the 8 (9?) DNF's enabled Ferrari to get into the top 10...

Re: F1 Race
I'd be very surprised if Ferrari are still in F1 as a works team in 5 years.....

Re: F1 Race
They've had way worse streaks than this in the past.
Before Schumacher it was 21 years since they'd won a title (1979 to 2000), even in 5 years time it'll still only be 18 this time
