I have a feeling this is not going to happen, the entire season they kept Perez in that seat while he was underperforming.

The strong rumour is Lawson is leading the race for Red Bull #2, which is just crazy...

I can hardly believe what I am reading here, I know it’s the FIA and not F1 but it will have an impact.

Why? Ferrari International Assistance has always been a bit dodgy, going back to at least the days of that French guy (I forget his name, but he helped Prost win a championship or two, allegedly), and probably before that. I'm surprised its not worse.

aka not making enough money.

Max being the usual sportsman that he is…

Fully recounting the interaction between the two, Russell added: “ to me privately, straight out of the stewards. He said, ‘I don’t know why you would want to screw me like this. I’m so disappointed in you. I was going to not even race you tomorrow, I was going to let you by, but now if I have to, I will purposely go out of my way to put you on your f****** head in the wall.’ So I don’t understand why he was so unnecessarily aggressive and violent in that regard.”

What a nasty person he sounds …he is very dangerous racing driver in more ways than one should k start acting like a true champion if the above is true which it sounds like it is ,I can’t think Russell would ever say that .
Iv always liked Russell even though he doesn’t drive for my favourite team ,I think I like him a bit more now .

All kicking off innit

Max has been spoilt by people and been extremely lucky to have a rocketship of a racecar and when he doesn't he's bang average.(Pun not intended)

If a few people were removed from F1 it would be a much better sport, Verstappe : and Horner, not a pleasant pair of people.

Verstappen is a very good driver, but so..so immature!

[James Cutting]

And now - due to be a father! Let's hope he's better at that than his own father was...

don’t forget Ukraine

FIAsco again

Practice is more and more less of an indicator of the order of which team should be where on the grid.

P4, only because he managed to get onto the circuit.

In a document published by the FIA, the stewards explained: "The driver did not dispute during the hearing that he did not follow the Race Director’s instructions, but stated that he had no other option but to breach the rules in order to get a lap in.

"Whilst the Stewards acknowledge that the position of the team’s garages limits their options to send the cars out on track, this can never be used as an excuse to breach any regulations.

"The prohibition of overtaking in certain areas as the pit lane or, in this case, the pit exit, is implemented to prevent potentially dangerous situations and therefore the Stewards determine that a grid drop is warranted in this case."

There must be a better way of running Q 123

Sadly it's all becoming more and more of a farce

If anyone thinks Lewis is losing his touch then think again!!!!.

Well done Lando and huge congratulations to Mclaren, great result, and yes indeed Lewis drove a blinder.
Sadly Verstappen is such a let down for a world champion.

MV is indeed an unworthy world champion by his arrogant and petulant attitude.

AS for his radio comments after serving the 10 second penalty today it is a great shame that the governing body cannot deduct a sufficient number of points to strip him of this years championship. He may well learn a lesson !

And, should he stamp his feet and leave the sport .. ah well .. there is plenty more worthy talent available.

Great to see the McLarens as no.1 constructors - well done them and well fought Ferrari.

Hamilton certainly got a good result yes. Remind me where he qualified?
