That is still a massive challenge for me but it is just not as fun for people to watch. When you’re in it, it’s a bit different. But of course I would love a wheel-to-wheel race. I hope the next races…the Red Bulls have improved, I really hope we have more of a race. Everyone wants to see us all battling together.”

Formula 1: Lewis Hamilton knows how boring he is making F1
Seems pretty consistent

There was some article sort of hinting the opposite. That this season has brought back some strange desire to prove something or to fight.
No idea how much of that drivel is based in fact though.

What are the financial implications they are referring to? Sounds like multiple teams went over caps with what they submitted back in March and fines coming Wednesday?

Reporting Gasley to Alpine and Devries to AT is immanent.

Espn hit me up with a “redbull and Aston Martin exceed budget limits” for 2021.
I am an auditor so you’d think with only 10 teams in F1 to audit, they’d know rather quickly who was over and wasn’t. Not sure why they’d take nearly 11 months to announce their findings or what even the process is.

My comment was more me hoping he’d recognize he should take a step back if he feels he was making the sport boring.
But if it lights a fire under his arse to stay competitive, I’m down.

Fines would be kind of comical. “You went over the cap and spent too much money, pay more money to us now”.
Unless that fine money goes directly to the smaller teams that have less funds, then cost cap is pointless. The big teams will just buy their way out of it.

No one knows yet. Sounds like RBR and Aston for sure went over the cap, Ferrari maybe.
Penalties could be a slap on the wrist to losing WCC points to loss of wind tunnel time. No one really knows because the powers that be get to choose.
Of course the teams that went over are saying it is nothing and the teams that didn't are acting like the integrity of the sport hinges on these penalties crippling the offending teams.
Likely will be a minor penalty or a few WCC points or a small fine.
It does lay the groundwork for how future penalties will be handed out. Think of how the Yankees just make their payroll whatever and pay the fine for breaking the rules.

The British announcers remind me of all the college football analyst every preseason. Notre Dame and Texas are for sure back this year, but for Merc it is every FP1

i am guessing RBR pays a fine and takes a public scolding. if that's all that happens, well played by christian.

There's no way other teams didn't go over the cost cap. They were just smarter about it. I bet other teams have "janitors" pulling in a couple hundred grand a year.

F1 needs more parity because, while I've been watching for about 10 years and love the pinnacle of racecraft on display, I cannot accept that the season was over three (3) races ago.

Just saw the update AM and RB are the likely culprits.
And crazy that there isn’t an established penalty.

F1 teams can figure out how to manipulate a fixed penalty.
send it to a biased panel and you never know what you get. It sounds like Aston is a minor breach, maybe an accounting error.
RBR went over by more than 5%.
Would be interesting for RBR to lose wind tunnel time or have this years budget (or 2023) altered to adjust.
In the end I think they dock them 10 WCC points and public reprimand. Which means teams will just break the cap from now on.
