Kind of impressed with Albon and the new Williams... hes right there with Alphatauri in terms of lap time


His red hair is symbolic of the flames on a Phoenix.

Have to say I'm not a fan of the bastardized parc ferme rules F1 uses. They don't want teams to be making setup changes after qualifying, however you can change your entire car, including the tub, if you have damage.

They have to use equivalent parts, but I don't see how they can guarantee there is no difference in the setup of the car. As shady as the teams can be in trying to get an advantage, slipping in different springs would be trivial for example.

If you wad up your car and need to replace parts you should go to the back.

It's like F1 looked at Nascar and said...that's what we need, stages with points. And why not spread them over 2 days.


Well, it's an American company now, right? So more is always better. NFL, NASCAR, etc.

I've always wondered that as well. Setup changes are somewhat allowed as some changes can be made on the grid.

Part replacement themselves have to be done under supervision of FIA officials, and usually the FIA take possession of the parts removed (assuming so they can compare later if needed).

This year we have seen a lot of parts replaced under parc ferme that would seem to allow a certain advantage.

You have to think these issues are due to the lack of practice/setup time.

Seemed similar to what Russell did last week, that was on Gasly IMO. He botched it.
