Oh man what's it with these old geezers saying crazy shit? Ecclestone saying he'd take a bullet for Putin  

[yonson]

Honestly you guys really shouldn't be surprised about this.  I hate to say it, but the majority of old people I know have a similar outlook especially the ones with fuck you money.  I use to get so fucking pissed at my stepdad about how he talked about minorities.  It took YEARS to break him from habits he had done his whole life, but really that only started working after it really mattered.  A lot of my friends and girlfriends in HS were minorities so I rarely invited them over because I was afraid of him insulting them even if it was on accident.

Wow, even though I'm not a Failrrari fan, way to go Sainz!!!

That starting lap was insane!  Glad ZHO is ok, that was a crazy ride!

[yonson]

Failrrari REALLY needs to shuffle things up in management.   IMO they should bring back Arrivabene.

Those last few laps after the safety car

Ferrari and their bad calls, glad Sainz just went for it.

Can you say Ferrari Race Strategy Division without hearing "Here comes the circus"?

[yonson]

Yeah, those were some amazing laps right after the SC ended.  Very happy for SAI even though he is in a red car... 

[Shi]

Some amazing racing all round. Leclerc and LH both lost out at the end through the SC but glad there was the SC.

How brave was Leclerc to go around LH!

Zhou's car ending up on the back side of the tire wall between the catch fence and the guard rail
Glad he's OK but that's a pretty scary incident.

[yonson]

Yeah, if that car had caught fire, there's no way he could have gotten out.  Really scary!

[DrDickAction]

Jesus, what driving all around...ham, sainz, perez, leclerc limping those tires along. 

 

How many lives saved by the halo now?  Two?

 How many lives saved by the halo now?  Two?

Two this weekend. F2 car launched on a curb and landed on another car. The halo was the saving factor there.

[Redliner]

I'm guessing more than 10 by now if you include the junior formulas.  Leclerc in AR, Hamilton when Max parked it, and Grosjean in Abu Dhabi in F1 alone prior to this incident if I recall.  The fact that the roll hoop that's tied into the air intake got totally sheered off is worrying, i thought that was supposed to have been apart of the rollover structure.  I hope they re-do that airbox design.

That was so fucking scary watching on the F1TV broadcast and not hearing anything about Zhou and them not showing any replays...I got seriously concerned.  I also thought Russell should've been allowed to start, such a shame that his good deed became a punishment. 

But wow what race.   Smoooth operatorrrr!

Yeah I was thinking about this too, they need to clarify the ruling in the future. Nothing they could do at the time it happened given the way the rules are today, but you can't de-incentive humanity.

[yonson]

Halo has saved quite a few racers now, definitely glad they implemented it!

Yeah, I was pissed that they wouldn't let RUS start again.  

[Shi]

Mercedes' car must be a handful if both drivers crash out.

Ferrari's in a difficult position. They have a car good enough to win the championship, but through retirements, shit strategy and so on, Leclerc and Sainz are taking points off each other while Verstappen is running away with the championship.

Sainz

[Dr. Jimmmah!]

That race delivered a lot of good overtaking, with and without DRS. The 5 cars into a corner with Zhou, Magnussen, Alonso, Schumacher and Norris was pretty cool.

[Shi]

Sainz

That sucked :/

[yonson]

Yeah, that 5 car battle was pretty sweet, too bad it didn't last very long.   Also the VER fans showing their true colors BS needs to be handled quickly and sternly...

Yeah it's getting soccer hooligan-ish.

I wonder if Mick Schumacher will continue delivering good results. P6 seems pretty impressive in a Haas.

P6 with checo and Carlos out. But it is promising that he's finally matching and on occasion looking like he's faster than KMag.
That being said, nobody really touted Kmag's speed when he was up against Grosjean so Mick really needs to be outpacing Kevin consistently by the end of the season if he's going for one of the elite drives.
