"Video Unavailable" - good, I'd probably get teary eyed anyway.

You have to watch it on Youtube.

On a side note, I have to admire Frank Williams' life after his accident. Self-inflicted, yeah..but he's rendered a quadriplegic after his crash and dude just carries on, no pity party. That's a great character. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't do that well after that turn of events. And has a tremendous F1 team as well!

Vettel to Tracing Point rebranded as Aston Martin. Interesting...

Yeh, I was actually wondering how his health was right now.

For about half a minute I thought they might look at Gasly.

rebranded as Aston Martin.

Is anyone pulling out their old Nordica Grand Prix* and making vroom vroom noises?

*It's just too perfect.

 

[Erik Timmerman]

That was certainly unusual!

 

[cantunamunch]

I feel for the marshals.

 

[cantunamunch]

Anyone else freaked out by the new Russian livery like the RN Bank on the Renault?

 

[scott43]

I was more freaked out to read that Stefano Domenicali is the new F1 CEO. That will make all the non-Ferrari teams happy I'm sure....

 

[cantunamunch]

We know McLaren are using a new nose - am I seeing things or did Renault tweak their front wing too?

I was not a fan of the pink but I really like the fight Perez' is showing.

 

[Erik Timmerman]

Not the best race ever today, especially for my McLaren, but nice to see Bottas get some lints and the tightening in the McLaren/Racing Point/Renault battle. How terrible was Vettel today? He was nowhere. In the meantime, Perez was what? 5th? I wonder if the team is questioning their choice of drivers for next year yet. Honestly, right now VET seems like the worst driver on the grid. Nobody else is being handled so badly by his teammate. Not even Albon who at least has some good moments!

 

[scott43]

I've always thought Vettel was a cry baby. Just soft when things don't go his way. I'm pretty sure he's given up and pulled the pin on this season. Unlike say Alonso who will not give up even when the car is crap.

 

[AlpsSkidad]

I agree- I think VET has thrown in the towel on the season and car.

Ferrari vetoes Toto Wolff as F1 CEO..no surprise...

Ferrari deserve their faith. Karma hit them hard after they treated the greatest driver the world has ever seen like they did.
It will be no sooner than another 21 years before they win another title. In other words no sooner than 2028.
Serves them well and their suffering amuses me immensely.

 

[Tony Storaro]

I've always thought Vettel was a cry baby.

And very mentally unstable. Was it last season when he basically singlehandedly managed to screw Ferrari's hopes by his own blunders? Or the one before that?

Honda is bailing F1. RB is f*****.
