Horner has been summoned by the FIA over comments he made about the quali incident.
They said in the post race hour thing that he had been officially warned for it

No matter your views Lewis and Max are the clear best drivers in F1 - both have absolutely left the rest of the field in their dust - already a pit stop clear after 11 laps. Hope we get this until the end of the year.

Bottas is going to be put to shame by the other experienced drivers (and probably inexperienced ones too) in similar cars next year, can't overtake on skill alone to save himself

Imagine how salty he would have been if he noticed Gasly did not activate DRS until Max had passed him.
Yep, couldn't believe "experts" missed this.
They played multiple replays that showed Gasly opening his DRS wing after the overtake was done, to avoid any further loss of ground.
Yet not one of them picked up on it

'and now to saudi arabia'



yay....

From the land of free (and who some recipients would argue, unwanted) digital exams, to the land of chopchop for those who have an eye for the same sex (along with 1946401074 other reasons).

Will make the last race in Abu look like Switzerland in comparison!

Another race and another car fu** up costing Daniel but you will still get the idiots come out and criticising him

Awesome to see Fernando on the podium. That VSC saved his arse at the end.
How the hell can McLaren send a car out without enough fuel to make the end.
Having to fuel save from lap 1 is ridiculous

I read it was a system error. He actually did have enough fuel but the computer was saying he didn't.

Would love to see HAM win in KSA with the fastest lap, VET 2nd. PER 3rd & BOT 9th
Both drivers and teams on equal points coming to Abu Dhabi.

He also said Verstappen replaced Gasly at Red Bull in 2016.

The man is cooked.

Don't forget "and we have had just the one retirement from the race, Valtteri Bottas"
DURING THE VSC TO CLEAR LATIFI'S RETIRED VEHICLE

he gets paid well to make such basic mistakes, every week.
 
Didn't notice this on the broadcast.

I'll let people make their own mind up.
 
Sister team car of inferior pace letting faster and championship contending car past?
Hardly earth shattering.

DRS of Gasly was only open once Verstappen passed, right towards the end of the DRS zone.

Did Alonso put up much of a fight?

4 laps in, Gasly ain't gonna be holding Max up all race. Why bother fighting it when you're better off conserving and targeting Alonso?

I don't think you'll find many instances of drivers not using DRS when possible, though.

Obviously Verstappen was always going to pass Gasly quickly, but that's not the point of that post.
 
Also Gasly is more than a second behind Alonso going by the timing board lol

Gasly was less than a second behind at the detection zone before the last corner, ran wide and that cost him a lot of time and made the overtake far easier.

There was one point when they showed the live constructers points between Merc and Red Bull and he kept saying there's three points in it when anyone with basic mathematics could see it was four! It was up on the screen for ages too and no one corrected him.

So he didn't use DRS to be able to get back on?

Maybe the gap in his wing was greater than 85mm so he decided not to deploy it til he got told they weren't cheating.
