Interesting for all the talk, Leclerc, has only crashed out of one race. The rest have been car problems or strategy I actually thought he had more shunts in races.

.... an exact figure of 32 can be traced to Leclerc himself.

The first of Leclerc's mistakes came at Imola in April when he spun out of a solid third position trying to catch the two Red Bulls ahead and dropped to fifth at the finish, costing him seven points. The second came on Sunday when he threw away a clear shot at victory, costing him a full 25- French GP.

** He also had unforced errors last year. He has now a reputation for VERY poorly timed errors and he cannot literally afford another or that label becomes MUCH stickier lol

Zoltar says he's gonna shunt at least one more time.

Saw this morning in 3rd practice, he did have an off...

Just FYI guys. When I was in Vegas last week. I talked to the front desk at the Mirage about room rates for the F1 race in Nov of 2023. They were able to pull up rates even though they will be under Hard Rock by then. The basic room rate for that weekend was $2300 a night. I knew it was going to be expensive but $2300 for a base room. The Mrs & I might be missing this one.

Yep - good to find and test limit but if he bends the chassis then its his irresponsibility and error prone way again. He needs to keep it clean. A major off costing large # of points or a win and his stock drops like Titanic.

Watch the race with my son this morning...
boring -- why it was all Max and RB, credit to them for the dominate win...
Hamilton -- what in the world was he thinking, could've been so much
Rico - McLaren -- I think it was Rico - there is no plan G...
Alpine - ok, looking good
HAAS - no where
Williams and Albon - 10th on straight line speed..
Bottas -- bad luck
Ferrari - conversation with the drivers about strategy and tires
Leclerc - bad luck, and going for the fastest lap caught him speeding, 5 sec penalty..

Question was the visor tear off from Max that got caught in Leclerc front brake duct?

Video evidence shows it was Verstappen’s tear off in Leclerc’s brake duct

Video footage of the opening lap of Formula 1’s Belgian Grand Prix has left Ferrari in no doubt that the tear off that wrecked Charles Leclerc’s race was Max Verstappen’s.

Do you have the link?

That would explain the smoke coming from the wheel area, which he noted on the radio.

I heard a report that the heat from this might have also damaged a speed sensor (hence the speeding in the pit lane), but suspect that is only an excuse? Have you heard anything?

With Leclerc running right behind Verstappen at the time, footage showed that it was the Red Bull driver's tear off that was thrown directly in to the path of the Ferrari driver and got stuck in his brake duct.

Saw some Mario Kart memes of this last night. LOL.
Max must have spent his summer break developing his pitching arm. :-)
