I wouldn't say that!

Wow 馃憤
I think they forgot how to build the cars. There was so many mechanical retirements that Latifi nearly finished in the points.

I feel bad for George Russell...
But hopeful this wasn't the only chance this season for him to get points!

1st half of the race I was like, meh.
But the second half really got interesting!

Not surprised by Seb spinning.
On the fence as to whether or not Hammy deserved a penalty (I'm leaning towards yes, he did).
Glad to see Lando on the podium.
Can't help but wonder if Carlos thinks he may have made a mistake moving to Ferrari.
Leclerc did manage a really good race though...

I think the penalty was fair. Albons race was ruined, but there was little for Hamilton to do once the mistake started

Anyone else pick up on this week's silly season story about ALO talking to REN about a return? Not entirely sure what they could offer over what MCL could.

I heard it was a Spanish newspaper that broke that news, so of course they would...
The appeal to Renault seems to be history, as he's won both of his championships with them!

Did that also cover the chats he's been having with the Pink Mercedez?
I could quite understand Stroll Snr punting Jnr out to another team ( Haas if they implode?) to make his name out from under daddies wings while ALO develops the CTRL C CTRL V car.

If it is true, I honestly didn't think it would happen....

Does mean a bit of a log jam for young talent to move around. Also unless RAI goes,no places for VET now.

Well, there are still places for him to go potentially, whether or not he would even want to is another story.
Teams with non confirmed drivers for 2021 are:
Mercedes - Yeah right
Red Bull - I don't see them replacing Albon (Max in contract).
Alpha Tauri - Hard no
Aston Martin - Stroll Sr. dropping Stroll Jr, I mean maybe.
Alfa Romeo - Honestly, maybe?
HAAS- Would LOVE this. But Ehh probably not (assuming HAAS even sticks around)
Williams - Again, I don't see it.

I guess it really just depends on how bad Seb wants a drive for next year.
I'm sure any team would be happy to have him...except for maybe Red Bull lol.

I wonder what Renault is offering Alanso. The fact that they have the same engine as the McLaren for 2 years now and the McLarens are very strong while Ricardo is really struggling with the Renault makes me wonder about the team. All 4 motors seem strong right now with Ferrari seeming the weakest.

as for the steering in the Mercs... when anyone does something like that they consult the FIA first. Same with the T wing, the blown diffuser and the j vent or s vent what ever that was called.

afaik it鈥檚 already banned for next year from the first time people complained.

Ham... he left room in my eyes. But the announcers felt he had made an error when it happened. So I鈥檓 confused you give room but if the other car is ahead?

I鈥檓 wondering what Mercedes can do to fix their transmission issues. They are supposed to last 5 consecutive races. They were avoiding curbs before the first race was over.

They say it was an electrical problem with "noise" that built up and upset the sensors. It is not clear (to me anyway) how much of a gearbox can be changed before it triggers a penalty. Case yes, cogs probably yes, but sensor wiring or even the sensors themselves?
