I was looking back at Pirelli's history of tyre failures, and I didn't realise there were as many as six failures at Silverstone in 2013. I could only recall two! Then there were two at Spa in 2015, three at Silverstone in 2020... and that's off the top of my head.

I do get that F1 has some unique and somewhat contradictory tyre requirements, but these failures are often at high speeds (Baku being a huge example). Something needs changing.

Bottas runs wide at Turn 2 over some "sausage kerbs" in FP1 and now Mercedes are complaining about them

 

[happy_eagle]

Clearly Paul Riccard needs more run-off area

This is a mario kart track, complete with booby trap curbs.

Lol at red bull having a whine about the yellow bump things on the outside of the turn being too much of a penalty..

On a track where there is literally no threats or risks other than artificial drive through chicanes..

Oh, and they were also there last time they raced there.

Get stuffed Horner

 

[BIRDBRAIN]

Mercedes whinged about them first after Bottas hit them earlier!

 

[Forward Press]

They probably all whinge from Mercedes, Red Bull and Ferrari down to Williams and Haas but it's more spicy when it's the big three.

There is a valid point that the penalty should be lap time deletions and forced re-entries around bollards (if it's a particular dangerous corner) rather than causing damage. However, it is equally valid that perhaps a gravel trap there could also solve that issue which I am sure Mercedes and Red Bull do not want.

Best drivers in the world.
But can’t stay inside the white lines?
Its easy guys, stay on track, no damage to be had.

Tsunoda continues to have an eventful rookie season.

Fast becoming nightmarish

Very strange incident there, I wonder if the gearbox gave up on him.

 

[Skull Face]

Yuki is fast becoming a give up and move on job, surely red bull can't persist with him, Lawson to take that seat.

Seeing this track makes me sad that magny cours is not used.

[CrowInFiji]

Rookies ruining quali becoming almost too common.

 

[Skull Face]

So Russell Schumacher and Gio are all locks to miss Q3, it's a 12 man shoot out for 10 spots in q3

Hey, its a massive achievement to consistently beat out a one armed Kubica and pay-driver Latifi

Nah. Yuki has great talent and a great future. But he was promoted too fast. Only did one season in F2, and before that only one season in F3. He hasn't learnt the race craft side of thing well, not enough practice. But he'll get better with more experience.
