Alonso is so mega and a decent chap. He asked immediately after crossing the finish line if DannyR was out of the points. Engineer said affirm and Nando said “too bad, he feels bad for the guy”
Class act.

Feel bad what has happened to Danny. He is such a likable guy. Hopefully he finds a home next season and resurrects his career.

From what I understand from Alpha Tauri is that the diff broke on Yuki's car and power was going to just one wheel.

I really feel for Chas but am glad his watch was recovered from Spain after being stolen in Italy, it may have been lent to him by Richard-Mille the makers and Carlito has one too?
Good news is that Binotto will personally sort out the 'easy to make' mistakes that happened especially with the tyre mix up for Carlito, the careless release of him from the box and the wheel gun forgotten by the wheel guy who fetched the fourth tyre. |

Lewis might have sold off his private jet, but he still travels by one. Of course lots of top drivers do that, but if you really want cut down on emissions, this is where it starts. Go fly business class like the rest of the team. The amount of fuel 1 single trip per private jet costs, you can probably run 10 zonda's for a year long. BTW the team bosses also fly private jet, if not owned then rented. It's just how it goes, it's a glamorous jet set sport where money is no object.

So what is Binotto going to do about that?
But in the end it's not the tyre incident alone, or the unsafe pit release etc etc. Every team makes a mistake somewhere during the race in a season (although I have to think really hard for RB mistakes; maybe the pitstops in Baku were a bit slow (3.2 sec or so)), but it's the amount of mistakes Ferrari makes. They're just handing the championship to Max, despite Ferrari having a car that is pretty much just as good (RB is better on the one type of track, Ferrari on the other)

Pretty sad hateful comments on Hannah Schmitz....
https://firstsportz.com/f1-news-hann...ls-strategist/ Even Hammy condemned those comments. Despite Toto wanting a full investigation on Tsunoda-gate as he doesnt trust this...Maybe this feeds the comments of those 'fans'....

You're entitled to express bitterness, but do quit the name-calling.
Let's recap a couple of facts. Hamilton and Russell both drive the Mercedes W13. They both got access to the same Mercedes people, tools, materials, facilities, data, internal meetings, etc. Mercedes is allowed to give team orders (also about the car set-up, pit stop strategy, tire choice, etc.). Both drivers are allowed to give feedback and make suggestions over the team radio. The 2022 F1 season is a partial reset: new regulations require teams and drivers to adapt. 'It's not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.' Hamilton (°1985) is indisputably a very seasoned Mercedes driver and 7-time WDC champion, who broke lots of F1 records. Russell (°1998) is a rookie Mercedes driver (previous F1 seasons at Williams: #20 with 0 points in 2019 | #18 with 3 points in 2020 | #15 with 16 points in 2021). But a super talent: alike Leclerc (2016-2017) and Piastri (2020-2021), Russell won GP3 and F2 consecutively (2017-2018). Several figures about their salary exist (apart from merchandise), but most hint that Hamilton earns ± 10 times what Mercedes writes on Russell's paycheck. Now, with big money comes big expectations regarding 'return on investment'. And the WDC results so far reflect that Russell got the upper hand over his team mate: unlike Hamilton, Russell consistently ended 14 out of 15 races in the top 5 (1 DNF at Silverstone - first lap crash with Zhou). Hamilton won none of the 15 races this season (1 DNF at Spa - first lap crash with Alonso). And so now and then, mishaps by Red Bull or Ferrari (car issue, pilot error, pit stop issue or questionable team strategy decision) were a benefit for Mercedes to gain track position in several races. One may conclude that either Russell is an excellent F1 driver, capable of extracting most out of the W13 and better responsive to change than Hamilton, or Hamilton lost his edge, or both. Let's wait and see whether Hamilton and Mercedes will allow Russell to stay ahead of Hamilton in the WDC.

it was a long shot for Mercs to win.. this time it was the closest call ever so far in this season.. but after VSC things were much harder anyway.. though if there wouldnt be a VSC but SC instead, things could be different maybe.. one way or another RB was better anyway..
such a frustration for Mercs but probably they got theır maximum point available anyway.. well done to RB..

Good race, crazy events throughout. Poor Sainz...wth Ferrari???
Last few laps felt like a repeat of the last race last year. Keep Ham out, everyone goes on softs, Ham out of podium smh. I root for Hamilton, would like to see him win another championship but i have to wonder is as someone stated earlier, he's lost his edge... would've been nice to see a merc 2,3. They weren't gonna hold off verstappen. As much as it annoys me when i hear him cry on the radio "it's not fair" if he's not gapping people(I know...they ALL b$@tch and moan at times), i acknowledge that he's a great driver. RB has things sorted out, he's running away with the title. |

RUS is just a good driver and has a good tactical mind which is handy to act on changing conditions on the track. Imho HAM never had that; what he says on the radio during the race never showed any of that imho. Most people here predicted last year what would happen when RUS was going to replace BOT and predicted that HAM would get way more competition from his new teammate.
