What's the odds we'll hear that Sainz 'turned in on me'. Russell is getting a reputation of being Mr It Wasn’t My Fault in F1. It’s funny listening to Brundle going from blaming Russell to convincing himself that Sainz slowed down for some odd reason. When if you watch the footage Russell is locked up and out of control before the incident even happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazio Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 And now Brundle says it is a drivers responsibility to not be hit by other cars. Now I’m no expert but I reckon that’s more difficult than it sounds… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milky_26 Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 red bull exceeded the cap by £1.86M, their punishment is a £7M fine and a 10% reduction in the use of their wind tunnel or computational fluid dynamics for designing their aero parts.

Arse 'Friends' Dyslexic? Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Sounds like both Red Bull and Aston Martin overspent / erroneously accounted in similar ways. But as AM are a smaller team, with lower operating costs, these overspends didn't push them over the cap. Not sure how these late tax rebates effect budgets though - do they carry over into the next year's costs? Both teams could do with new CFOs though...

Mikey1874 Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Red Bull were adamant they didn't overspend but presumably as usually happens had to accept they did to get the low level sanction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazio Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Entertaining little sprint race. Two points of interest so far. Russell doing the grass in the radio routine about other drivers exceeding track limits, in the style of Hamilton. Clearly something they’ve been told to do by Toto the twat. Stroll is a danger on a track, forcing anyone into the grass on a straight is dodgy, even more so if it’s a teammate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Risky tactic from red bull with mediums for max although he now has 2 fresh sets of softs for the race. Sounds ok unless there's rain and it's out the window.

We had not envisaged the situation that unfolded on the last lap and we had not agreed a strategy for such a scenario before the race. Regretfully, Max was only informed at the final corner of the request to give up position without all the necessary information being relayed. This put Max, who has always been an open and fair team player, in a compromising situation with little time to react which was not our intention. Following the race Max spoke openly and honestly, allowing for both drivers to resolve any outstanding issues or concerns. The Team accept Max's reasoning, the conversation was a personal matter which will remain private between the team and no further comment will be made. The events that followed from a social media point of view are completely unacceptable. The abusive online behaviour towards Max, Checo, the Team and their respective families is shocking and saddening and unfortunately is something that we as a sport are having to address with depressing regularity. There is no place for it in racing or society as a whole and we need to do and be better. At the end of the day this is a sport, we are here to race. Death threats, hate mail, vitriol towards extended family members is deplorable. We value inclusion and want a safe space for everyone to work in and enjoy our sport. The abuse needs to stop.

Hmmm, I'm pretty sure he was told he was to give the place back if he didn't get Alonso by the exit of turn 12 so he knew long before the last corner. In fairness, Checo was told they'd swap back if they were together on the last lap. He was 4s behind at the end so not really together.

Mikey1874 Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 You just need 2 seconds to give up a position. It's something you've practiced hundreds of times. But to be fair to Red Bull there’s no need for this to linger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pink mercedes slowly transitioned to the green red bull last year...and it looks like they've now arrived at something pretty racy. I think we'll see some more pace from Ferrari come qualy this afternoon. With the front two row locked out with them and red bull. Tomorrow though, I reckon we may see Alonso grab himself a spot on the podium. Points for Haas too and a cheery phonecall to Gene. Mercedes duking it out for 6th and 7th. Bring it on!!
