MS Jr is done!

I don't think Haas operates close to the cap like the big teams cuz they simply don't have as much money, so they still got margin under the cap for these things. Problem is for them is more about having the actual funds itself.

Good pole by CS but with CL getting engine penalty, Ithink MV will wallop him in the race. Probably SP also would beat CS.

Edit: SP also got penalty so LH probably could get to CS.

Really?? Even compared to F1 during the early 2000 era when the engines can rev past 18k rpm?? I went to the Sepang F1 back in 2000 and it was ear shattering loud!

Pity him, that was all Stroll's doing with that clumsy defensive jink.

The bottom question is also a straight shot at him. Lol

FA reinstated to 7th which I think is the right thing to do. FIA decision making has been indecisive and quite poor these days.

Just reduce the number of free sandwiches for the staff I guess. Lol

Hahaha, haven't watched it cuz I am travelling but already suspected not an interesting race. Based on reading the race report, seems the only remotely interesting was somehow DR was able to finish best of the rest while FA had another engine dnf until he commented later that this is similar to Honda days.

His Monza win last year was very good actually.

Best chance for Mercs especially LH to finally win but would be good if GR can win it.

Entertaining race, glad for GR for his 1st win. This bodes well for next year so hopefully can have a 3 team fight. But I feel GR should also be DotD, just because the Brazilian now loves LH so much that he got it instead.

Good recovery by Ferraris but honestly I lost some respect for CL for his whinging for Ferrari to sacrifice CS podium, that's pathetic!

Great fight back from both Alpine especially strong race by FA as well, looks like Alpine has sealed 4th over McLaren thanks to clumsy moves by both LN and DR.

The rumor is during Monaco, SP admitted to the team that he crashed on purpose to retain his pole which he converted to a win, so MV was pissed at that! If thus is true, FIA must do something to investigate and penalize SP for such unsporting conduct cuz it mimicks what MS did.

SP is also quite pathetic for asking preference for 2 races in a row now.

Btw what do you guys think of the LH vs MV incident? Initially I thought LH at fault for crowding MV too much but after looking at the footages, seem 50/50. Both are not known for clean driving either in their past.

Silverstone was more obvious as LH's fault IMO.

Yeah probably that too cuz they have adopted LH. Lol I saw this as both racing incident cuz LH was crowding a bit too much but MV trajectory also seems going outward even though he was on the curb.

LH himself has done numerous times in the past to crowd out his rivals, just look at his duels with Rosberg and the latest one he did to GR in Mexico. Just that he does it with a bit more finese so not as obvious but the purpose is still the same. LH is smart and he often plays the innocent game which I honestly don't really buy too. Deep inside he is also almost as ruthless.

People also often say Senna was dirty but if you really look at the countless overtakes or defences that he did, most of them were clean, often even uneventful cuz he was just that superior. Of course yes he did some crazy things too but nobody are really innocent in this game of F1 or motorsport in general. I think in F1, if you want to be champ esoecially for many years, you just gotta be ruthless, cannot be a nice guy and succeed.

The lesson learned from all those footages is don't overtake on the outside of MV! Lol

All these pleading to get 2nd place I find really pathetic from both CL and SP. Who cares about 2nd place anyway especially 2nd place that is so far behind the champ?? LH 2nd place last year or 2016, or those near misses like FA in Ferrari maybe people will still appreciate but whinging about 2nd place with over 100pts behind is just meh! Lol

He actually did crowd out CL in Austria a year or two ago until CL said he knew how hard he needs to battle now, but yeah most of their duels were clean so far.

To my amateur eyes I think if the guy on the inside are still ahead by about half a car at the apex and can still hold his line without exceeding track limits then he is entitled to go wide and close the gap, so the guy trying to overtake on the outside should back out and try again. If he cannot hold his line and go outside the track then that's wrong. In some of Karoon's footages above, MV did able get in front at the apex and also still hold his line so those are fine to me but the ones that he really went across outside the track were wrong or bad driving.

You mean in Brazil? I'd still say LH also should take part of the blame cuz he surely knew MV was already there on the apex yet he just kept turning in trying to squeeze as much as possible.

And that's exactly where LH mistake was! Just because he was vs MV, he didn't want to yield for his own good and ended up crashing? As highly experienced 7x champ, LH should knew better to asses the situation and races with his head more than his heart even against MV. Based on his own past experiences vs MV, he should know that passing MV on the outside is almost impossible given how MV is. To the defence of MV, he himself already like more than half a car inside the curb and could not go further inside. In hindsight if LH had avoided that clash, he most likely would have won the race!
