Hope Max tipped his Mechanics real good today.

GregSimon · 07-20-2020, 06:25 AM

Max was the best today, and had send greetings to his mechanics in every speech. They really did an awesome work

Their car sucks this year, both drivers complaining of lack of balance and inconsistency. I think it was Leclerc said with no setup changes the car will feel different day to day. Vettel's fastest race lap was almost a second slower then his lap last year.

Kind of reminds me of the issues Haas had last year, the car would be quick in practice and quali, but race pace was terrible.

Was mentioned in either the pre-race or regular broadcast that Ferrari had an illegal engine last year so that they are down 30 to 40 HP this year. The terms were sealed so that no one can find out what they did, or how illegal it was.

Not exactly. The FIA couldn't prove anything so made the statement that at times the engine may have operated outside of the rules. The agreement was reached based on what was best for the sport as the FIA would have lost had they taken it to court. It was sealed due to the proprietary nature of the items involved. This is no different than agreements/findings the FIA have had with other teams in the past.

Don't forget Mugello! First time for the F1 circus to use this venue. I was there in 2005 for the MotoGP and it's an epic track!

To be fair, the racing in MotoGP is so good it could make a boring track look epic.

We have a race this weekend….at Silverstone

Sergio Perez will miss the British Grand Prix after testing positive for COVID-19.
Possible replacement drivers : Stoffel Vandoorne or Esteban Gutierrez , Nico Hulkenberg is another potential replacement. Was this a plan set in motion by Laurence?

Im already getting my HAM sandwich ingredients ready for the Sunday winner … And he’s not even one of my preferred drivers right now…

Go Max, Go Lando!

Pic : At the 2018 open house MTL , Nico Hulkenberg.

Vandoorne is at a Formula E event this weekend already. Most likely going to be Gutierrez. Would be nice if it was Hulk and he could get his first podium.

Agree 100% looks to be the answer for a replacment...

Lance too may just pull off a low podium if he doesnt FU...
