And Leclerc pits again. Looks like the Ferrari is back boys.

Albono passing between two cars to overtake. Oh Albono and Canada is always exciting.

Here’s the thread, join in.

Ocon and Russell, line up side by side on the grid as teammates. Everyone ahead and back will be sweating bullets.

Care to elaborate ??? I don’t see it, helping stalkers.

First points for Williams, great job Albono.

Just like, pre-installed Edge and Onedrive, completely opt in and one day a windows update (automatically) reboots your pc and you just got opted in.

Albon was also a contender for the Audi or Mercedes seat

No way, Audi is looking towards Albon as a contender. Sainz is a better option for both Audi and Merc. Alpine boys(mainly Gasly) are also looking to move, one of them could land at Audi.

Vowels could have helped with his promotion to Merc, but doesn’t look like there was much interest from Merc.

If Vowels and Albon bring Williams to top of the midfield and I belive these two are right people for this job. He might get called back to Red Bull to replace Perez in 2026 (maybe), because I don’t see another top drive for him in the near future .

Meanwhile, I am happy to see him at Williams with Vowels, hoping he gets a fair chance in a top team.

He could also be a strong candidate for a one-year stint with Merc until they get Kimi ready for the seat.

There is a perception that he has only raced against weak opponent(s) in Williams(Sargeant and Latifi). A year at Merc will certainly clear the doubts. Vowles could help him get in Merc and year against Russell could raise his stock even more.

I assumed Audi had its eye on him.

He is not young, I don’t think he can take a gamble on Audi getting the 2026 regs right and being front of the grid.

Tell him, he doesn’t smash my trademark(s) on his book: Gene Haas, probably.

Like this:

Had the same idea, but it won’t work:

1. There’s a 15 min edit window from the time message was sent.
2. Edited message tag is visible

On the flip side, they can read your group chat messages. Many(me included) will prefer that it isn’t a possibility.

He has been able to hold his empire pretty tight, unless there are massive exits after Newey. I think he has held onto power and with the Thai’s backing, his reign is solidified.

So, who beaches it first in FP1 ?
My money is on Sainz

Imola is going to clear all this away. No sprint setup excuses, a normal race weekend. We will see if the challenge from McLaren is real (please be real) or not.

Probably a ban evasion measure linked to your IP. Try changing your IP address and then comment, might work.

Lando barely managed to keep the lead and then, little by little took off… in 20 laps he accumulated a 7+ second lead.

Lando pitted under the safety car and had fresh tyre on and due to a mistake none of the other cars were allowed that luxury(pitting under a safety car window).
Norris and Max talk about it, in this clip: https://youtu.be/Nq82CB-zOto

In case that clip gets copyrighted The reporter asked Norris: Would he have been able to win without a cheap pitstop and fresher rubber.

Norris replied: It would have been difficult, because then he would have to keep Max, Leclerc and Oscar(all on fresh tyres) behind.

at no point did it seem Max was able to shorten that lead

Max hit the bollard at turn 15 and picked up some damage( I think), also he had issues with grip especially on the hard tyre. Max talks about the grip issue in the post race interview.

I know some rules which make no sense to me, like getting both DRS and Blue flag when lapping cars (IMO, it should only be DRS)

In my opinion, if you remove blue flags for the leader, then you’re just asking for this to happen time and again. No one wants to get lapped and these kind of moves will be made.

IMO, being in the lead should be either same or actually a bit harder than not

I disagree with you. My understanding of Formula 1 is that it pays (literally the prize money) to be the leader and rest of them want it they have to either catch up or concede. Either its design and development, aero, engine or upgrades, whichever team gets it done first and fast should win and get the money.

I wasn’t going to watch this one, thought it was going to be a snoozefest with a Max win. I am happy that I watched the race.

Congratulations to Norris on his first win, first of many I hope. Piastri was a bit unlucky in the last stint, otherwise he could have been on the podium.
