F1 - General discussion and 2017

What's the story doing the rounds about Ferrari being told to remove a reserve [-]fuel[/-] oil tank from the car in Canada?

Suggestions a team is gaining performance by mixing oil with fuel have re-emerged in Baku.

The issue had died down, but the FIA warned again ahead of the Azerbaijan weekend that oil must not be added to the fuel under any circumstances.

“Why? Because Mercedes obviously asked the FIA for clarification,” said Germany’s Auto Motor und Sport.

“After checks in Canada, apparently one team returned doubtful results. The FIA did not want to confirm this, but Mercedes suspects the Ferrari has an additional oil tank,” the report added.

However, Ferrari engineering chief Jock Clear insists the Ferrari is simply a good all-round car.

“I think we can say that the standout characteristic is that there is no standout characteristic. It just seems to be a very well behaved car in all areas,” he said.

Just heard them confirm that for Seb to win this race, he'll have to do something he has never done and that's win from lower than third. Almost all his wins have been from the front row. We may see a record.

I'm streaming on Supersport but in the link to the channel to the GP they are only showing women's cricket. On what SS channel is the Grand Prix?

Supersport 6 they mixed up the schedule .
 
Know this has probably been said many times before. But I love the changes in Supersport broadcasting of F1 this year. All this additional coverage is great.
 
Red flag. Good. No way you can call it a race if you spend all your time behind a safety car on a full course caution. Get the track clean and go again.

You mean what was Vettel doing? Are you watching the same race?
Vettel was riding up his ass to avoid being taken, got caught napping (for the second time this race) and ended up rear ending him, then pulled along side and rode into him deliberately. Penalty for Vettel for sure.
