And Lance strolled into Albon... Williams can't catch a break.
 
Ocon seemed to massively oversend there. Two hits for Williams there, not sure what Stroll could do though, he was ahead in the braking zone , stayed on the inside and kept turning away from Albon. Seemed like both and neither's fault

Stroll/Albon seemed like a classic racing incident really. Super unlucky for Williams though.
 
RB and Kick off
 
Stroll picks up a ten second penalty- if Newey does design a rocket ship for them, it’ll become even more apparent what a dead weight he is for the team.

Thats no matter.
He is driver for life in that team.
 
GP2 Alonso is back. It wasn't his fault but Coldanado is racking up quite the incident list.

Yeah - safest seat in F1! Seems Fernando’s happy not having a teammate that can challenge him is well. Wonder if that’ll change if he’s fighting for a championship and Lance can help him out as he’s too far down.

Bit like Max/Perez (although Lance is more secure than Checo for obvious reasons) - seems Max is super happy with Perez as a teammate as he’s not challenging him but Perez did cost RB the constructors championship this year.

Wonder if the sponsorship money makes up for that.

Wouldn’t be surprised. I wouldn’t be surprised if keeping Max happy is also the prime consideration given there were those rumours of a possible Merc move.

A move to Merc might be a downgrade.
Even without newey, Newey had underlings who would have some basic idea of how his concepts work.
 
I am quite enjoying a dusty, windy track giving the drivers understeer and oversteer, and making them run wide.
 
Williams car is just breaking apart on its own.
 
Nice to see Crofty can't tell the difference between a Yellow flag and a Debris flag
 
And then these idiots throw flags to not do something. That mirror does need removing; it's a serious hazard if someone wants to overtake into T1 and it would be farcical to have a permanent yellow.

Edit: Bottas runs over it just as I finish typing.

It's gone now thanks to a Sauber.

That needed 20 seconds under VSC for someone to run out from the end of the Pit wall and pick it up. Why do we now have multiple puncture from something avoidable?
 
Because the FIA is run by morons masquerading as professionals.

FIA screwed up, as per normal

There's debris on the track. Let's throw out flags and not remove it.

It won't happen but jobs should be lost over that. Incompetence, Inc.
 
Did FIA hire Ferrari strategists to run race control?
 
The flag (Red and Yellow striped) was the correct one, but in a series like F1, that big chunk needed clearing. It was in the middle of the track at the end of the DRS and only overtaking spot.

It just needed a quick VSC to send someone out from the end of the pit wall. If they were worried about cars going through the Pitlane exit in a VSC, then close the Pitlane.
