He'll have a permanent F1 ban after this season.

The Alfa rumors are heating up for him.

5 spots seems about normal for these incidents. I believe it was RoGro who got the last race ban for his crash. This was almost that bad, Bottas was daydreaming or something. fricked it up bad.

Perez engine issue probably isn't that big. Would imagine they were bringing a new engine for Spa anyway. In the past most teams run new engines for that stretch with Spa/Monza. Hopefully whatever damage isn't too bad.

I would say Alonso absolutely would have won this race if he had started where Ocon did on that side of the track, but Hamilton probably would have gotten through the field faster to pass him for the win.

Tough pill to swallow for RBR. Through no fault of your own, and actually completely Mercedes fault for piss poor and unsafe driving, you’ve lost an almost insurmountable drivers and constructors championship lead, and Mercedes has benefited, and almost no penalty to Mercedes at all.

The George Russell interview is the tits. He’s going to be so fun to watch in the Mercedes, and will be a seamless handoff from Lewis to him, in the battle against Max.

Just finished the race, Bottas couldn't have played that any better for Mercedes. I guess their new strategy is if you can't beat them, wreck them.

Now Hamilton has "long covid" or whatever Dr. Hamilton called it.

He has said, several times in the past, that he has been feeling the effects. Lost a lot of muscle mass over winter.

Wow. So HAM picks up another 3 points?

The swing in the championship standings the past two races has been unbelievable.

Bad luck for Seb.

For those wondering, there must be 1 liter of fuel available to sample. I thought the reason he stopped where he did was to preserve that fuel.

It seems the FIA worked with Aston as best they could. Allowed the mechanics to take apart the car to search for fuel.

It seems like Seb had done this back in 2012 or so. He stopped right after he crossed the line to make sure he had enough. Maybe Brazil.

Everything else has been confirmed as good. Williams with 10pts now since Latifi and Russell both get bumped up.

Blueboy should know a few drivers were reprimanded for SJW'ing too hard. Lewis wasn't one.
