Still no official results, but lots of visits to the stewards and penalty points are handed out like candy at Halloween, [edit] I'm with stupid ;)
but points standing if all stay the same:
Not always my F1 type of crowd, but hard to deny it adds a lot to the atmosphere, Lando post race interview was great !

By FootbalIFan Go To PostIs Max going to do itthink we get some tracks were the front end is more important (silverstone next) and if Mercedes can find the same pace they had on previous ones (Portimao, Imola & Barcelona) it might get exiting again.
if not, than Max has it in the bag, unless there are major upgrades, which I do not expect this season. (everything is on 2022 already)

By markao Go To Postafter all penalties applied, this is the official resultMax taking the piss with Mode 2
He knows that they know that he knows that they know
Really not much to say about Max his race. Dominant from start to finish, not a moment to worry. Max clearly can do what Hamilton did for so many years. Sad about Perez though. Way too aggressive in both attacking and defending positions. Almost as if he's trying to compensate. I'd rather see him take his time to overtake Norris than this nonsense. Strategywise he wasn't needed today to bag the win but in some other races his presence alone can be vital for a good pitstop strategy. Hopefully a good chat with the team sorts things out so he can race with a clear head on Silverstone.
Lando did an amazing job and I was happy to see DannyRic having a proper sunday as well. It's hard not to like McLaren with these two guys behind the wheel. Also, Kimi shouldn't fall asleep behind the wheel again, poor Seb.
Can totally imagine every not Max fan being bored again by the way. Let's see if Silverstone wakes up the Mercs again for some more racing on the track.

Mercs are done but still have a chance at the constructors title as nobody but Ver can drive the RB. It's on to '22 now for Ham.
Australia cancelled is a shame, always great event and was looking forward to see if changes made would have improved the Sunday.
Peugeot looks great, but no massive rearwing, must be somethong weird in the rules that they can (or have to) go without one

By markao Go To PostPeugeot looks great, but no massive rearwing, must be somethong weird in the rules that they can (or have to) go without oneQuite right. Here's a more thorough explanation as to why.
England fans are absolutely feral. The most important thing is Lando is safe. Shaken I’m sure, but safe.
Of to Silverstone and with the F1 Sprintrace, check your (local) timetables.
Silverstone front limited, so I expect the Merc to be the faster race car (front tire wear) like it was in Imola/Portimao/Spain and France, qualifying close as always and lets hope Sprint Race does not fuck-up either of the two contenders chance on winning the main event.. It is not yet a must win for Mercedes, but if the RBR16B is to competitive here, it would mean that it will get an awful lot harder to win an eight title for Lewis.
Ferrari had a terrible France race with the tires, so let see if they learned anything and can fight with Lando and Pierre for best of the rest

I like the look of the low profile tires. Curious to see how the engineers will make the cars look nothing like that.
By Anya Taylor-Sad Go To Postv excited for a shorter wheel base.rules max 3600mm
so it might be the effect of bigger wheels, making car model look shorter
By FortuneFaded Go To PostQuali day ladsfight for pole is tomorrow m8
teams are lucky that it is a dry fp1 session
By markao Go To Postfight for pole is tomorrow m8m8, it’s qualifying today
teams are lucky that it is a dry fp1 session
No idea why they do not hand out pole award (history stats) to the fastest guy on Q-friday, but that is modern F1 for you.
FP1:
Hard to read anything in a session were teams all did different things
-RBR all 3 tires, long run on reds in the end (no drop off)
-Merc med, very long run on meds (check last year issues?) with inside front tire going off (graining) last few laps and than quick run reds (looked lot of understeer, so they are protecting front, too much?)
- Lando did not do a single run on the reds, his fastest lap time was on mediums.
Will see in Q session later today what, but feel; single lap pace RBR and Lando hopefully close
