I felt like Red Bull nailed the pit strategy until the safety car. He was still in 3rd and close to Norris with an extra stop. I don't know how much the pit strategy was driven by what tires they had available for the race. Surely he had a set of used softs with only a couple of laps on them they could have put on. Maybe they were hoping there wouldn't be a safety car.

Well that was entertaining. Painful watching Hamilton get passed by Hulk though.

Hulk had a hell of a day.

He had no tires other than hard. He went into the race day with Hard,Medium, and 4 softs (New and 3 used).

Typically all teams run a used soft for the reconnaissance laps to the grid, so he used 3 softs and a medium prior to safety car.


I typically try to find the Sunday tire allocations on X before the race.

Yeah, I know that he only had a new set of hards left. My thinking was if he had a set of softs that were only used for a couple of laps, would that not have been better than the new hards? I assume the answer is no, because they would have done that if it were.

So wtf happened there? Looked like max was trying to time the pass to get back on Russell and Russell braked pretty aggressively into the corner?

Obviously on max and he's getting penalized. Just don't think he ran into George on purpose.

---

Nico's commentary was ridiculous

Why not just leave Max on the used softs. By the time the safety car was gone, he was only going to manage them for 5-6 laps...and he was planning on doing that anyway without a safety car.

His meltdown was funny, as was Norris' comment about it

Ferrari jump up to P2 in the standings!.. 📈

So this puts Ferrari in second for constructors with Red Bull down in 4th

Hadjar moves up into 9th on the driver's standings. Just all around impressed with him

It felt like RedBull panicked. That and the driver swap along with Max's anger cost them a bunch of points. Usually their strategy team is good at maximizing results.

Max feels like both Charles and George drove into him and then he's instructed to let George pass. Ya I can understand his meltdown - but he's gonna get penalized for that

---

This right here. At that point, he was said F it. Russell is an entitled whiny *****.

Stewards docs out stating Max would not have received a penalty for turn 1 with Russell because George briefly lost control of his car so Max was justified for using the escape road. Max received 3 penalty points for the later deliberate hit and now has 11 out of 12. Not sure when the older ones expire so he is close to race ban.

Such bull*****

First, George hit him on the first overtake. "Lost control" is Mercedes favoring. It should have been dealt with by the stewards there. Then Horner or whoever (but the buck stops with Him) made the call to go to hards which was nuts "because everyone is pitting under a safety car". Then the "give the place back" nonsense call by Horner set Max off.....Had the collisions earlier been dealt with quickly, maybe Max could have done better but Max lost his mind and just gave away all those points.

Horner has to be on the brink of firing after this and other incidents this season.

Just rewatched. He might not have been able to hold off papaya, but Max is on the podium if they leave him out on the used soft tires instead of bringing him in under yellow to put on the hard tires.

Also, if RB thought the softs wouldn't last the race, why not send him out on hard tires during the 3rd pit stop?

RB really botched that bad having Max box to put hards on for 5-8 laps… woof.

Oh damn! BBC Sport is reporting that after Lance Stroll failed to make Q2, he had fit in the garage, swore at team members, and broke a bunch of things. He also skipped weigh in which was noted by the stewards.

Aston Martin reps confirm he was upset but deny that he broke anything, swore at anyone, or that his need for surgery is related to anything that occurred at the Spanish GP.

https://www.bbc.com/sport/formula1/articles/c14kmj8rd87o


It certainly sounds like he punched something and broke his hand.

Have a fit like a man. Cuss out everyone when on the team radio and then ram your opponent.

I mean after Monaco F1 needed something to spice it up. This past weekend delivered...

In the cool down room, Lando had a great line regarding max's penalty.

"I've done that before…….in Mario kart!"

Lance Stroll out of Spanish GP

---

Their Reserve Driver probably won't do any worse.

---

I don't think they have a reserve driver for this race because he dropped out after qualifying.

The real issue will be in two weeks if he still can't compete for the Canadian GP. Both of the Aston Martin reserve drivers are scheduled to compete in the 24Hr of Le Mans

---

Maybe they can borrow Valterri.

---

The Speed City radio guys just brought that up as a possibility for Canada if Lance isn't able to drive.

---

This is picking up steam on the internet. Bottas is also being mentioned as permanent replacement possibility.

I hope this works.

Haven't had Micky Ds in one or two years, that might end

Not available in the US. Neither is the KFC Box Box meal

My hope is eventually they will make their way here stateside after the movie premieres.

I know they have Ayumu Iwasa as a reserve driver for Racing Bulls but I can't remember if the official Red Bull team had a reserve driver going into this year

Feels criminal to end F3 in Madrid rather than Monza. And as expected no F2 or F3 in this continent.

Hopefully F1 Academy doesn't take ages again to announce their calendar, really hoping for one GP to get all 3 feeders like Barcelona last year.

Hoping to do Jeddah or Suzuka next year (only if F1A race there) and then Hungary or Spa in the summer.

Really looking forward to F1 Academy this weekend. Maya Weug has really put on a great performance this year. Honestly the top three have all looked good.

Wueg and Pin are two that seem to have a similar competitive edge. They aren't afraid to take calculated risks and be more aggressive. Pin seems to have stepped up her game in that regard from last year.

Sadly I think Lia Block has just never seemed comfortable in this car. Even if she were to find sponsorship for the next level (GB3?) I don't think she has the skill to be competitive there.


Also can F1 Academy get their **** together and put out some merch? If I can throw a tshirt design up on my print on demand storefront in 20 minutes, they should be able to offer some tshirts, sweatshirts, and caps.

Yeah I don't understand ART's performance in F1A at all. Their setups must be bad, I fully believe Lia and Aurelia are way better than what they do in F1A. Last year they focused too much on Bianca who did nothing besides one podium in Miami and is doing nothing in GB3. Aurelia had more pace than Lia, Bianca, and Tina in Italian F4 yet she struggles too much in F1A always ending up in the back, I refuse to believe some of the other drivers (like Chloe Chong) are better than her. Lia tho had has horrendous luck this year with getting crashed into several times. At the very least based on Miami they might be on a better setup now but both of them really need points.

The fight for the title is entertaining this year for sure. I like both Pin and Weug but I am curious what the plan would be if Pin wins, cause she's already racing in FRECA for the 2nd year, my guess is headed to GB3.

Also really liking Alba Larsen. Jock Clear is keeping an eye out on her this year, hopefully she can move on to the Ferrari Academy next year.
