Didn't another driver have problems in practice, or at the last race, with a tear off in their brakes? Maybe someone needs to have a look at them tear offs

Ocon was it?
Does seem to be becoming fairly common with the new cars.
I imagine it is due to the new cars being more like hoovers, and sucking the air under the floor / over the bodywork, bringing debris with it. Vs the older cars acting more like leaf blowers and pushing the air out and away.

Not been paying attention to pace this weekend, but the Mercedes looks a lot more competitive this weekend.

What a bunch of cheating shits. Beggars belief.

Just reading it, max got pole, then perez ditched, meaning the session was ended so nobody else set a time after?

Yeh, he conveniently 'lost it' and had a spin (that caused no damage). Did for both laps of George and Lewis in one hit who had to slow.

They did it again.

Ferrari just need to clean house this off-season. Sack the strategy team. Sack the pit crew.

Just embarrassing.

Ridiculous wasn't it, how do you not have all 4 tyres ready if you're calling a driver in for a stop?!

This season Ferrari as a team have made more mistakes than Sainz and Leclerc, maybe even combined.

Haha, Perez has done his job with a little bit of help from Vettel. Not sure Ham can win this, but the race is exciting at least!

 

[Jamturk]

Very encouraging for Mercedes.

Alpha Tauri playing games here. Why not just retire the car.

They appear to have sent him out with a problem even after Tsunoda reported the issue. This is a big no no

Can't force a safety car if you simply retire the car...

Red Bull’s sister team causing a VSC through an unknown issue with the car which coincidentally keeps Red Bull’s Max Verstappen ahead in his home race.

Absolutely nothing fishy going on there.

What you mean why not retire the sister car of the red bull when they can ditch it on track. Giving Verstappen a free pit??

Who knows??

I just don't see RB pulling some conspiracy level bullshit for ultimately a race Max does not need to win. Why not do it when it matters? I think it looks suspicious, but nothing more than a bit of luck. It happens in F1 a lot
