What was that front wheel to rear wheel rule Russel was talking about?

Russell still going on about it.
Is that now 4 podiums on the bounce for him? Very impressive.
Good to see the comments about him from certain people on this forum have disappeared
Agreed, the consistency of the pair and general lack of self inflicted mistakes, is ahead of the rest of the grid. Though I'd add alonso to the list with max and lewis.
Lewis’ water bottle didn’t work. Jesus that must have been a complete chore.
Dead on about reliability too.

Very fair shout on Alonso too.
I think the Ferrari decision to stop wasn't quite as stupid as it looked at the time.
I don't think Sainz had the life in his tyres to pull 5s away from the other two to cover the penalty, so he would have been P5 either way, and with the stop he gained the fastest lap point as well.

He should have pitted 5 or 6 laps earlier if a pit was being considered, that would have maximised the new tyre advantage and given him a chance of getting to the two in front of him.
George still complaining even after the race 
No sound wow
Yep. Although in the end either way he probably ends up where he was. The whole thing only made sense if they categorically knew, though, that they couldn’t get to the end.
Yeah, stopping earlier would have been a lot better - just saying that stopping when they did probably still worked out better than not stopping at all.
Only way they’re only 32 points behind by the end of the season would be if Max missed a race or two from covid.
Just when it got interesting. I wanted to see if Hamilton and Verstappen told Russell that Perez did nothing wrong
Dunno why Russell was being so petulant about it.Just when it got interesting. I wanted to see if Hamilton and Verstappen told Russell that Perez did nothing wrong
Or 3 or 4 lets be honest.
Never seen a team as good at self sabataging as Ferrari and their drivers.
Because they more concerned with politics than actual competency.
No team or organisation on the planet more able to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory like Scuderia Ferrari
They make United look competent.

Ferrari is just... aaarrggh.
Ferrari and Leclerc fecking it but boy do they have the fastest car for sure by now.
You don't think? They are looking massively quick over a full lap each weekend these days.
I think they have the edge in quali. But on race day, the two cars are very evenly matched and it’s circuit to circuit.
Fair I just think more races than not they are quicker.
For me Red Bull quicker I'm Saudi, Miami, Imola, Baku and probably Silverstone.
And unless I'm forgetting any think Ferrari where quicker than the rest off top of my head.
The car was fine. Didn't you see Seinz practically flying?I think RB are getting bored with ferrari incompetence, even Maxs race engineer came on to say something like that was entertaining until leclerc crashed out.
RB didnt really celebrate that too much. Think they know winning the constructors and wdc are inevitable for them.
Huge weekend for ferrari and leclerc next weekend. On paper, hungaroring should suit the ferraris and it should be damage limitation for the RBs. However it is ferrari we are talking about.
Also be interesting to see what Mercedes car turns up, one thats closer to RB and Ferrari or one thats further away. Its bizarre.
Not really. Simply he has made more mistakes as he said himself.
Obviously the reliability hasn't helped but he wouldn't be ahead either way.
Ferrari is a joke.
Chuck Leclerc is now closer to 6th than to 1st. Super Max has this wrapped up.
I'm sticking by my prediction: Mercedes are keeping it steady whereas Ferrari are not with both drivers.
The funniest stat about Max and Leclerc is that Max has more wins from Charles Leclerc poles than Leclerc has.
Delighted. Two time world champion. Deserved.
Current state of the thread:
Didn't realise Leclerc played one of the mountain goats in Thor 4. Multi-talented.
Leclerc still too error prone, but Ferrari haven't been helping either. I still think Ferrari have the best car both on qualy and raceday, but they always make mistakes strategy wise or driver error. I have a feeling the championship was decided today. There's no way Ferrari can be perfect the rest of the year, which they need to be if they want to win.
Too much is being made out of one error from Leclerc, made on shite tires. Even today's mistake(which he admit) was partly down to Ferrari avoiding pitting him for some reason, what the feck were they waiting once Verstappen did his pit?
It’s not just one error though. There’s been a few now. It doesn’t make Leclerc a bad driver. It just means he might not be in that tier that Hamilton and Max are presently in. In the title scrap last year, neither driver made many errors in any racing condition be it worn tyres or not. And that was at the height of an intense, close championship at the business end. I’m not saying Leclerc doesn’t have the potential, he hasn’t been in a title fight yet so he’s still inexperienced. But he’s showing he is not quite there yet.
Honest, but to defend Leclerc a bit, neither Max nor Lewis have had to deal with such an unreliable car and really bad team's race management which causes him to lose a lot races and points.
