Who went of there? Goorge "Bottas" Russell?

Is he cracking under pressure or what? So bizzare!

[PlatinumZealot]

Why were the rear wheels still driving him into the gravel after he braked?!

Spooky torque from a distance? Quantum torque?

Ocon won't be in F1 next season I'm afraid.

[erudite450]

It seems the McLaren is even worse than yesterday.

Noah's ark formation for the first round of Q3

[PlatinumZealot]

Pole doesn't really make a difference at silverstone especially with the yoyo racing. So the session is not too exciting fir me.

[PlatinumZealot]

Mercedes has adjsuted their deployment to final sector.

[PlatinumZealot]

Good job Charlie boy. I hope we don't hear about his issues with the car anymore.

Hadjar deserves a lot of praise for his pace so far this season. It's easy to forget that this is his first season at Redbull. He's a very good driver.

Regarding that blow-by form Antonelly to Hamilton, one also should remember that antonelly had mounts a strong attack earlier in the lap. So it is not like Hamilton had no means to defend himself, it is that he had already used them fending off the first attack. Probably Antonelly managed to do the first attack with very little deployment, hence saving for the second.
Different is hard, the tactics have changed, but we will all learn (including the drivers, which obviously still go into black and white mode too eften). They'll continue to learn and adapt, and the ones with the most extra brain capacity (due to brain or due to inherent car speed)will continue to find weys to outsmart the others, thus it has always been and thus it will always be.

It is a new, new-new-new, radically new formula. We are all adapting. I am sure in 1966, when the first wings appeared, it was the same. Half a season to understand how a car could be so draggy and yet so good on the corners, surely that didn't belong in racing cars! And then another half a season to optimize both how to best use and defend from the extravaganza.

Antonelly had pace in spades, but he earned his blow-by pass.

Not to be the grammar police but it's "Antonelli"

Well, since that's spelling not grammar, technically you weren't the Grammar Police anyway!!

He has honestly been quite poor this season, have you forgotten the crashes already? And lack of emotional control, being upwards of 1s/lap slower than Verstappen in race pace, etc.
