I took it as racers gonna race. Plus, track position is still important givem that an appeal may just be able to turn over a penalty. I guess track position is also why Stroll wemt for the overtake on Bottas as well.

Sainz playing strategist from the cockpit yet again.

I wonder what his pace would have been like had he been given the swop around he asked for.

They discussed it on the F1TV broadcast as well.

Yep. Paternity leave. Congrats to him!

I meant volatile in the car, you are emtirely correct that his outside the car personality seems as mellow as they come.

Maybe not blameless, but he asked for slicks early on, and given what the other teams who did slicks achieve his was the right call.

Yuki is still too inconsistent, and also to volatile.

Qualifying alone is four. One for Charles and three times Sainz impeding other drivers. If I remember Leclerc was also in the way at the final chicane at least once in Quali.

I would laugh but they are less likely to take a win than Vasseur accidentally mooning the cameras as he trips and falls from the pitwall.

I agree re the errors. Key difference is that he has zero buffer against the odd error, because when he gets it right Ferrari goes out of their way to screw it up.

And 100% on him trying too hard because he has to try salvage a result against the pitwall's best attempts to snooker him.

That head shake by Horner spoke volumes.

Flip I hope not. I am pining for a Hulkenberg podium.
