For fricks sake... more red flags in first 6 races than all of last year... this is ridiculous.

Rookies are really screwing up this year.

At least grosjean and magnusson could make it through qualifying without wrecking.

Still remember grosjean smacking the wall under safety car or some shite at Baku when they were somewhat competitive.

Super interesting to hear about Ham and Bot switching chassis. Wonder how often that has happened within the last 10 years.

Eh, I think perelli is fine. They’re developing what the FIA is telling them to. They could put out a tire that wouldn’t ever have any issues if it was solely up to them and the teams weren’t always fricking with them trying to get the most out of them.
There’s no standardized TPMS so once they clear inspection in the pits the teams can do all sorts of things to alter them from there.

Evidently I’m a little farther behind on my recoding than I thought.

Was staying off Twitter to avoid the spoilers but I fricked myself coming here.

Merc said this is usual rotation of parts that happens. Not sure what they gain from doing this. Maybe Hamilton has a newer chassis now and Bottas is running the second newest chassis that used to be Hamilton's.

Even though they are supposedly the same you would think the feel and flex has to be different with age.

I am here to say that F1 is a lot more fun when you aren't 90% sure of who is going to win every qualifying/race.

No doubt. A 3rd team at the top will really make it fun as well.

It’s probably a trust building mechanism.

I could see that, but it has the potential to backfire greatly if it goes wrong.

Rosberg is pushing the story that Hamilton requested the change to get Bottas' chassis because it was newer. And that the change would have never been made in the past. However, the cost cap was blamed as part of the reason for the change and that is something that didn't happen in the past.

Di Resta was pushing the story that Hamilton would be slower and regret the change. Hamilton called him out in the post race interview.

I think it is fair to say that no one knows what to think about it.

Time for CRT class again. It's become like the pledge of allegiance in schools now.
