Video Oscar Piastri gives Max Verstappen his first genuine thumbs-up this year after Max won the race

• Upvotes

Previously, he has given his signature passive aggressive thumbs-up to his broken front-wing in Madrid (which effectively ruined his race), George Russell in Monza FP3 (for impeding him), Lewis Hamilton in Hungary qualifying (for impeding him) and Arvid Lindblad in Monaco FP1 (for impeding him)

Discussion Ocon on what happened during the formation lap: “There was a problem with the FIA and how they manage the cars remotely, actually, and I just had to do a Windows restart, and it was back up and running.”

The package introduced in Baku on the RB22 would have generated a total gain of 0.350 seconds per lap.

The priority was the immediate optimization of the package, unlike teams like McLaren, Mercedes, and Ferrari, who encountered difficulties in this area.

The results of the package exceeded Pierre Waché's expectations. This weekend, the tests in different corners were positive: the evolutions appear to have improved aerodynamic load.

Statistics It’s been eight years since Max Verstappen last led a lap around Marina Bay, Antonio Giovinazzi has led more laps than him at the circuit. Can Max finally put this stat to rest?

Discussion Are we loosing good racing simply for Politic and dollars

222 Upvotes

Let’s all ignore the direction of the TV coverage and the control fiasco.
we recently raced at a brand-new custom track and had a dull boring race.
This week we returned not to a new circuit but one that has been blackballed for the past few years.
This old track gave us racing.
Even drivers were commenting on how much they liked it.

So how did Madrid come to exist in the modern world of simulation and why do we keep losing good tracks that actually work for these modern ocean liner-sized cars.

Discussion Wild prediction (?): today’s VER–ANT–HAM podium might eventually become the most decorated podium in F1 history

250 Upvotes

Counting WDCs retrospectively by each driver’s eventual career total, today’s podium currently stands at 11 WDCs (VER 4, ANT 0, HAM 7), with a realistic chance of reaching 12 by the end of this season.

To my knowledge, the record is 15, shared by several HAM–VET–VER podiums. The famous Senna–Prost–Schumacher podium at Spain 1993 comes to 14.

In 15-20 years, we might look back at today’s podium the same way we look at Spain '93 now and it may even hold the all-time record for combined WDCs.
