The great thing about the missing tyre is that I think this is now the end of Binotto. The few people in the world that was not laughing at Ferrari calls, surely are also laughing now.
Lets not forget that before all the blunders Sainz showed how slow he is again. Ferrari should exchange him for Schumacher with Haas, not that I think Schumacher is fast, more that Sainz deserve a drive at Haas.

Thoughts and prayers to LH fans that thought this is their time.
 
Merc did an Abu Dhabi 2.0.

They always choose track position over new rubber and then get mugged on the restart.

George. New blood. Changed the narrative and got himself that 2nd place.

That's amazing, every single word you said was wrong...

Its not Binotto, his hands are tied by ferrari execs and political nonsense.
Sainz got completely screwed by the team, multiple times, nothing to do with his pace.
Mick is nowhere near a ferrari drive yet.

Anyone thinking Ham could win this was delusional, no one was beating max today regardless of safety cars etc he would have eaten the mercs anyway.

Sainz DID suffer pace-wise on the first stint, the pit stop kerfuffle didn't help neither did the 'unsafe release'
 
Well Done Max
Well Done George.

Half way through the race, you could hear the excitement from the Sky commentators all lining up for a chance to have a sip of Lewis's victory jizz, but that did not last long.

Funniest bit was Crofty saying Max wasn't quick enough to overtake Lewis after he'd been taking a second a lap out of him and promptly chomped him while Crofty's words were still buffering on DSTV.

Hahahaha, so true, Crofty's little knob turned to a Softy very quick.

As a newbie to the dutch society would you make the pilgrimmage to Zandvoort?

Attend a mass event with thousands of fanatic Dutchies? **** no. It's difficult to describe the culture, but even the National Railway suspended trains traveling in certain areas so that the F1 fans and Ajax fans don't clash.

They protested against getting COVID vaccines so the government told them if you get the vaccine you can go out to clubs. Lined up like cattle. "Dancing with Janssen" they called it.

They live for being social and partying. Everything else they do is functional - food, the way they make their beds: "get it out of the way".

So no...not a chance in hell.
 
Yuki was evasive AF in the post race interviews on Sky. He was trying to hide the fact that he drove around the track with his seatbelts undone. Eventually ducked after saying "the mechanics just tightened them".

What I think happened is he came out after pitting and the rear felt off and he thought the tyres weren't on properly. He stopped and before the team told him to carry on, he undid his belts. Next stop they changed tyres and redid his belts. On exiting the pits he then said it was the diff and the team called stop stop.

Messy, but not fixed.

EDIT
Just watched his onboard. Was as I described it above. They should not have sent him back out because he was saying "diff or something" before he came in for the softs and redoing of his belts. He also requested belt service on his way in.

As he exited on the softs he said diff again and the engineer said stop stop.

Very amateur by the pitwall.

Imho - Merc ended up with the least optimal strategy for both drivers if they wanted to go for the win. Prior to the SC/VSC/Yellow Flag they certainly were having a great race. Onwards to Monza!
