More footage of Piquet has come out, saying that in 2016 Lewis was too busy giving Niko Ass. So homophobic and racial comments, whilst also calling Keke Rosberg a ****.

He's a piece of work, isn't he?

Jackie Stewart has never got over Hamilton winning more titles than him.

Opaque decision making which looks like it supports the toxic environment in Red Bull isn't helping.

Last season, the best season ever, probably, was completely ruined at the end with an artificial outcome which by the FIA own admission was erroneous.

I'm meant to be camped at Woodlands this weekend, and enjoying FP1 live but I couldn't stomach it and sold my weekend ticket.

Ah well, I'll have more money to plunder in to West ham I suppose
I've also lost interest since that manufactured farce.

Doesn’t look that way. They’ve showed slow-mo’s of Alpine and Ferrari today looking like Zebadee but not the Merc’s.

But Max says he's a cool laid back guy, so can't be those things....

Brilliant from Sainz. :clap:

The usual wet specialists were put to shame by the Spaniard today.

This is very interesting targeting ‘grey area’ RB and Ferrari have been exploiting/cheating. Merc will likely be even closer.

Annoying thing is it’s taken the FIA ten rounds to discover this, fall out will be interesting. Seems the Rideheight lobbying has back fired on RB.

As for Ferrari, have they ever produced a front running car that wasn’t either illegal or had rules written that specifically benefit them?

I’ll add I mentioned this a while ago, listening to those tech podcasts is worth it.

I can hear Horner crying already.

“From the race:

In the technical meetings between teams and governing body as the 2022 regulations were formulated, the FIA stipulated that the plank should be solid (with the 2mm tolerance) and the way in which the plank and the skid blocks were mounted should reflect that.

But the regulations did not include the specific wording of that original guidance. As a result, some teams have conceived layouts around the regulation wording rather than the understanding outlined in the meetings.

What has this allowed them to do? The 2mm flexibility tolerance is defined at the leading edge of the plank. But at the rear – around where the driver sits – they have engineered the mounting of the plank and skid block in a way which gives a degree of cushioning. From France this interpretation will not be accepted”

Enjoy.

Not sure what that version of the national anthem was. Who is Sam Ryder never heard of him.
