Grand Prix Rejects

Rear view mirrors. Leclerc loses one, Hamilton loses one, left and right respectively if I remember correctly. Appeared to have absolutely no effect on speed or race craft, or any effect whatsoever in fact. What's the point of them? Commentators are always saying that the driver couldn't see somebo...

If we close the pit lane during a SC, wouldn't you then be able to argue that benefits drivers that had already pitted at that point as the field is bunched up and you would lose a massive amount of track positions when pitting after a SC?

Fetzie

Ferrari turned up as favourites after last week, qualified strongly, started the race strongly and then proceeded to throw it all away. By trying to be clever they turned what looked like a safe haul of 43 team points into 15.

Fetzie

Also posting a vote for Albon. pits to 5th is definitely worthy of that.

Race Control. That minute or so it took for the safety car to be deployed could have ended in serious injury or worse.

Fetzie

Thought I'd make one, because it didn't exist yet Ricciardo has been disqualified due to a technical infringement in Q1. His MGU-K exceeded the power limit on one of his timed laps in Q1. He will be allowed to start, but so far I haven't found out if he starts on the grid or from the pit-lane. Renau...

Renault and George Russell get my votes. For reasons see the posts further up this thread.

Sebastian Vettel. This series of serious errors has been going on for over a year now. I'm considering him a strong candidate for RotY. He rejoined the track without considering the possibility of somebody coming around the corner (despite knowing there were over a dozen cars following him) a week a...

A reprimand isn't a penalty. It's just a verbal warning.

Fetzie

What the....

I may already have my nomination for RotR.

1. Norris' car
2. Haas

Fetzie

Lando Norris, for that drive.

HM: Vettel managed to race Hamilton for multiple laps without hitting anything.

Fetzie

I don't think there's been a more fitting race winner than this weekend. That's the tonic we all needed. Norris broke down on the final lap and lost his chance of unrejectification, but as a result Alexander Albon is unrejectified! Albon's move at the end is under investigation by the stewards beca...

Fetzie

The race will go ahead, but I would imagine the podium will be more of a solemn affair.

The Mercedes mechanics are pretty damn good to turn that car around in that time.

Oh right, there was a Grand Prix wasn't there

Fetzie

My first nomination is Ferrari. I don't think anybody but the most devoted Tifosi was expecting them to win today, but to finish a minute behind the first place car (remember, they both burned 20 seconds on an unplanned pit stop too) is just beyond any expectations. If either of the first two didn't...

Mercedes strategy crew.

Redemption for the Mercedes pitwall today, after the mess of last weekend.

So, will Vettel finish the race on the lead lap?

No action taken against Hamilton, as he was actually driving to the max delta for following the SC.

Kvyat.

Somehow I don't get the feeling that we're done with safety cars this afternoon.

I like how our Championship is so much more competitive than the sport it is based upon.

Fetzie

I don't dislike the song, but I misunderstood it when it started. I assumed every season would have its own theme song, so that you would associate different pieces of music with the different years. I thought, and still think, that that would be a neat idea. For now it's just the eternal F1 song u...

I noticed Kubica didnt lose as much ground as he 'normally' does . And in the F2 , the strugglers were also more competitive . I found it interesting, but can't think why. May be a coincidence. As for the safety car - I was disappointed a VSC couldnt be used . I can't see why not, personally . Stra...

Bottas was completely robbed of that win by the safety car, and only the fact that the entire Sky broadcast team are British at the British Grand Prix meant that the fact Bottas was robbed was only a very minor detail in the race report. Absolutely unfair. Oh well. Seconded, in fact I'm surprised i...

I'd vote for "Penalties issued by the Stewards during the race session".

This would very specifically exclude penalties issued after the chequered flag falls.

Fetzie

I'm going to nominate Gasly, even if he does owe Vettel a beer for his 4th place finish he still had to hold it together. HM to Hamilton, for what was essentially a perfectly executed race and now placing himself 4 DNFs ahead of Vettel in the championship (he would still stay 1st due to race classif...

Haas/Rich Energy. I think I'm going to need to re-watch that race just to see the whole rejectfulness of their performance this week.

Dishon. mention: Vettel. What the hell is happening in his head?

Would Honda be OK with that, given how he spent the last three years of his time in F1 slagging them off?

That appears to be fake (or at least, unconfirmed): https://twitter.com/AlbertFabrega/statu ... 9494924288
