Sky being slow again. Was already reported several days ago. Not surprising. Seems to happen in 90% of cases like that. Youd almost be an idiot not to.
Its race week and yet anther race week, dominated by RB and creepy Horner.
This really needs to be sorted out and sorted out fast.
This really needs to be sorted out and sorted out fast.
Thing is - it sounds like it is already sorted for as far as RB is concerned. Appeals can take a long time to resolve depending on the arena it's filed in. Years in some cases. It seems to be it's up to RB whether they still think it's worth the optics of it rather than coming to a resolution on the entity of the case. Likely however Horner already has attorneys lined up himself. Potential for two wrongful terminations.
She was suspended? Why? I feel if she really starts banging the drum, Horner is fecked.
For being dishonest, allegedly.
Its a masterclass by RedBull. The racing is utterly shit cause they are light years ahead of everyone so take the focus off the on track car and onto the off track shananigans. Genius!
One hour of intense Australian GP moments from formula 1.
I'd take anything Bild says as a pinch of salt usually, only until other respected F1 journalists come out with something similar.
Wow Hamilton wasn't holding back in some of the things he said in an interview in Australia.
Asked whether Mohammed Ben Sulayem still had Hamilton's confidence as FIA president, Hamilton said: "(He) never has."

Well why would he? What has he done in circuit racing? Because he's rich? The sport was sold and now the buyers want respect... Feck off to them.
Max doesnt look happy. Will all the drama surrounding RB effect his performance?
This race will definitely see more than one SC.

Looking at the times, QF will be fun.
I agree, another poor showing from Lewis in FP again.
Still dont expect anything other than Max P1
RB 1 -2 with maybe Leclerc splitting them
Good to see Carlos back, I remember after my appendix op, I could not move for a week, he is back driving F1 after 2 weeks, that is one fast recovery.
Albons cars chassis is possibly fecked I was reading, so Williams might only be able to run one car because they don't have a spare with them, so they have to decide who gets it. Going to be interesting!
Could be an age thing? How old were you when you had your op?
was just about to come and post that, if he does I think that a bit unfair on Sargeant.
They might be able to repair it, Williams team principal James Vowles said: “It was a fairly big accident. The engine is damaged, the gearbox is split in two, and the chassis is damaged. It’s the worst you could have ever had. We do not have a third chassis here. So, now it’s just whether we can repair this one.”
It was 20 years ago , so I was 39
Oh probably not then
BTW - we are the same age!I agree, another poor showing from Lewis in FP again.

I feel Hamilton is not motivated enough to drive Merc. He has simply given up on them.
I sort of agree with you, but his comment say otherwise.
Lewis Hamilton had a day of practice to forget as he struggled to match the pace of teammate George Russell to finish ninth and then ended up a lowly 18th in session two.
Despite his apparent struggles, Hamilton was quick to praise the car. He said: “I think we have an amazing car, there’s a lot of potential in it and I think we just haven’t maximised it at the moment. We’re obviously not happy with the performance at those first couple of races.”
Yeh that's what makes it so interesting, because Albon guarantees points if the car is good enough, Sergeant not so much, but at the same time as you said it'd be really unfair on him.
I was not the slimmest when I had the op and it was an emergency, it ruptured just has they were taking it out.Oh probably not then
Points is money so Albon in is a no brainer really.
Yep I agree. Could cause a rift in the team if Sargeant is pissed about it though. Let's wait and see.
They have a big decision to make thats for sure.

Lewis fecking around with experimental setups again, infuriating stuff.
F1 Fantasy disallowed my team name 'The Cookie Monza' for having 'violated our content guidelines. To maintain a respectful and inclusive environment, your Team name has been automatically changed to a default name.' How is that an offensive name?
I dont actually think its him, I think its the team, either way its fecking up his race.
Dont see what wrong with that name.
Just saw a picture on Reddit of the Williams garage and there's no car at all on Sargeants side but there is on Albons, so I guess that decision has been made!
Having to do huge experiments with the car is never a good sign. Either there's a correlation problem with the wind tunnel or the software. It's now three seasons of the car design not matching the expected track performance.I agree, another poor showing from Lewis in FP again.

That's just nonsense.
I still don't think he's been the same since being robbed. He's going through the motions, playing the charade along for the money. I don't blame him.
My point is he wants change. Maybe change in Team like Ferrari will motivate him.
Yes exactly.
Give Lewis a competitive car and he will deliver. No doubt about that.
I honestly don't think he is simply motivated by the money. Lets see how he goes in the race.
Yeah its been confirmed that Albon will be their only driver, that's harsh on Sargeant.
