re-watching Qualifying and I think Sargent is all done at Williams, he just crashed again
If he goes I hope Lawson gets the seat, since Ricardo looks as confirmed for Alphatauri which I do not agree with...

McLaren are quick
So the race will simply be a battle for 2-20 Giving Max the win, unless something goes wrong...

I think the drivers are having problems 1/2 way thru the race and 25% of grid retired.
Lots of incidents and max is just driving away as expected. Teammates having problems with each other.. Perez forgetting how to drive

Good Night,
Max took it, but not by as much as I expected... no spoilers except the winner

That was entertaining.
I've been holding back judgement on Perez, but if it actually ain't his own talent, it's at least forces of nature trying to make him fade into obscurity. I think the theme of this race was definitely teammate dynamics. Seems like a brew at Mercedes. |

Normal service is resumed. And Max will be WDC next race (on Saturday, by all accounts).
Agree - Nearly all of the teammates are getting testy with one another. I mean, they always were at Alpine. And nobody can love Stroll for very long (Alonso's hate seems more directed at his engineers, though, and for good reason). It's been brewing at Ferrari for some time already, as their drivers are relatively equal (I think LEC has more natural talent, but SAI can bring the car home more often, and has flashes of brilliance). Merc without Toto was a total bar brawl, and amusing to watch. We'll see if they fix this by Qatar. Even Lando was uncharacteristically nasty. Oscar doesn't give a sh!t - I think that he's the next Kimi. Gets his first podium in his rookie year, and barely raises his voice. To me, the battle is for Rookie of the Year. Oscar, or Liam? I hope that Daniel needs a bit more recuperation time! Sargeant needs to go now. They should call NASA and see if they have a trained chimp to put in his seat for the rest of the season. Perez - WTF??? I didn't understand any of that. Aren't you out when you shut down the engine? How does he go back out after missing a dozen laps, getting out of the car, etc, then takes a crippled car out and blocks Lando under a safety car? That's just stupid. |

I think Perez was serving a penalty ahead of the next race.
Sargeant is like...he has a resume but it didn't scream "prospect". Believe this was more of a financial recovery move after the incentives of keeping GOATifi went away. Pair this with Albon being the clear priority - Sargeant had to use the old parts at Singapore as a test comparison to Albon - I can't say there was ever a real bar to measure him against, sorry to say. Oscar and Lando...I think both were a little excited with starting to have good races as a team. In all fairness, Oscar has had to shove his way into a good situation. Alpine to McLaren, and such. Merc to me seems like a case of the team being unable to have a solid plan because there's never a guarantee that Lewis is going to continue with every forthcoming season at this point. They had to pick up a talent before that supply went dry, and I imagine Russell had some fair expectations. It doesn't help that he's been able to outpace Lewis in some runs. Sad to see Aston go flat. Was kinda rooting for Stroll to break out of the Daddy's Money mold, and he honestly puts in the work. Whether or not his talent is legitimate, that team just needs more than that to continue having a worthwhile place in F1. It's not really fair to benchmark him against Fernangodo Alonso, but that team needs a likewise talent to continue progressing. Ferrari drivers seem like they'll take anything to have a non-garbage race and build team points. Alpine and Ocon don't rub off in a good way, stemming from last year. This weekend had some layers to it, like the speculation Gasly technically wasn't faster than Ocon on equal conditions. I could see how that could go hand-in-hand with the plan....if they actually communicated it to him, let alone not on the last lap. The conditions were underhanded regardless. And the way they let that pan out just looked stupid. |
