He's really taken another step in terms of delivering great/relevant content this year. Thanks for the heads up bud.

What's maddening is that although fully aware of all this talk surrounding the incidents, you can bet the FIA, stewards and race directors will 100% either just pretend it didn't happen or simply brush it away. There will be zero ownership, apology or explanation for the situation.

What is Bottas doing with Polar? Don't think they sponsor Mercedes do they?

I was hoping that he shows the video of Leclerc doing the practice start. The practice start location was at the SC2 line. A bit much talking out of nonsense, if we still do not know if Leclerc just had his nose over the line or if he did the starts like Lewis in a completely different location than intended.

I've not seen any footage of Leclerc's practice start, and I've spent some time looking. I even checked his onboard footage from f1tv.com, but that doesn't start till he's already sitting on the grid.

Edit: If the sensor is the same place it used to be, it's up under the drives legs, almost under the steering wheel. Thus if he was party over the line, it was most likely half a car length if not more.

Same for me. I fear the guy in the video spend hours doing this nice video without even knowing where Leclerc did his practice start. Did he really do it out of position or did he just put his front wheel on the line?

He's probably a user and it's Finnish, maybe a personal sponsor? It's not a very big company so I don't think they have enough money to sponsor Mercedes.

Interesting that he mentions Ferrari said they would veto it if Toto were to become F1's CEO

Quali laps side by side. Stonking lap from Bottas for once.

Yeah that was a really good lap by Bottas. Bravo to him for getting that done especially with the lack of practice. Hoping for a good race tonight. :)
