Max Verstappen had already incurred a 10-place grid penalty for exceeding his season engine allowance at July's Belgian GP
I don't disagree with your overall point, but Herbert actually won 3 F1 races in his career.
Herbert did not have that bad a record.
Johnny Herbert has enjoyed an illustrious career in motorsports, having raced for seven different teams in Formula One. A career that spanned 11 years, Johnny was able to secure three wins, seven podiums and 98 career points during his tenure in Formula One.
Colapinto deserves a drive next year
Linked with a move to RedBull junior team, with Lawson going to RedBull and Perez getting the boot.
McLaren lightyears ahead of everyone else
Illustrious, well yeh his own personal website would call it that
Lance Stroll level driver of his era.
Adrian Newey has his work cut out for him when he starts next year. Aston Martin have gone back to the floor they used in Japan. The fourth race of the season. That's mental.
Running the wing they ran in Singapore I think with the high downforce package. It's this particular package that they are extremely strong with.
Norris has to win both the sprint and race this weekend to keep his slim chances alive. His best opportunity especially with Max's engine penalty.
I think they've given Perez far too much time, probably purely because he brings in ££££'s they've binned drivers for way less
Would be good if true but will they finally bin him...
Would be interesting to see Liam in the main team, would his driving style suit a car that's designed to suit Max's? It's where so many others have failed, as theirs doesn't
Herbert was very unlucky with his career. The crash he had in F3 as a young driver was so bad it permanently damaged his ankles (metal pins were inserted). So he lost mobility and some of his ability in a race car with his feet.
Who knows what sort of F1 career he could have had without that crash. Could have been a potential WDC. Such is motor racing.
From wiki actually, but yeah illustrious is pushing it a bitIllustrious, well yeh his own personal website would call it that
Lance Stroll level driver of his era.
Hope none of you picked the Mercedes in your predictions for your superbru game.
They will struggle this weekend.
They will struggle this weekend.
Yeah true , I quite liked him in F1 thought he was decent
Don’t need to pick until before qualifying for the actual race.
Leclerc summons to the steward because of something he said , it’s pathetic
Perez
Perez doesn't make it in time
Their first runs were pretty late. Think they came back with about 2 mins left
And Hamilton out in SQ2
Bearman with a good SQ2
Bearman with a good SQ2
Perez
Norris was flying in SQ1 and 2
Pretty shocking from Hamilton too. Had 2 goes at it
Norris is seriously fast
Decent chance that Norris picks up some serious catch up points this weekend...
Bearman with a rookie error
Oscar and Norris are just knocking it out of the park
Not a bad sprint qualifying
Now will Lando get off the line?
The 5 spot drop could cost Verstappen big points here. McLaren look mighty
Just looking at the weather for Sunday from 2pm Brazil time , thunderstorms and sun followed at 4pm with heavy rain, could be a challenging race
Let's hope we actually get to see the challenging race rather than a red flag
Have we even had any wet races this season?
Have we even had any wet races this season?
So do I, love a wet race, but if there’s a delay due to thunderstorms, the heavy rain could scupper it completely
Yeh I saw that myself and thought it was odd, because I remembered that 99 race so well, it was the nurburgring and he was driving for Stewart and it was an epic race. Well worth a watch for anyone who hasn't seen it.
So Leclerc only got a fine for swearing because he realised what happened to Max, said he didn't want that to happen to him and apologised. What a joke, as expected
Apparently they had to raise the floor of his car as the track is so bumpy it's causing him physical pain in FP1. Also both cars are randomly snap oversteering at corners so neither driver can attack the corners as they want.
Only hope for Mercedes is that the data from the sprint will allow them to dial in the car for the race tomorrow.
Feels a pretty critical weekend with a sprint and Max starting with a 5 place penalty, and McLaren looking dominant. Norris needs to be less than 30 pts behind after this weekend has finished to still have a shot I think.
Lando's getting a bit tetchy here being asked about the championship battle and Max
Yeah seen some of the onboards, the re-laid track is extremely bumpy
