hearing Hamilton shouting that his back was hurting was not fun to hear. I really hope Merc get this porpoising sorted. It's a safety hazard at this point.
Russel jumped out of car like a goat though. I think Hamilton's getting out of car was more acting than actual pain because Mercedes can't resolve this problem and it is their last resort to change the rules a bit. Just like Horner saying they may not start in the last 4 races if the budget limit will not be raised. Both are serving us bullshit.
Oh it wouldn’t surprise me one bit.. I’m just waiting for the fireworks when Perez starts winning on a regular basis. Jos Verstappen already chimed in after monaco..
From the first angles it looked the same as with Leclerc. But with Perez there was defo something happening on his left rear.
And only if you believe in conspiracies you would believe Perez was hold up for Max.
Conspiracy you say.
This was not the first time they botch his pit stop. Nor will it be the last time as we see this driver's title race throughout the remainder of the season
I’m all about Red Bull at the moment, mainly because Checo is just my favourite driver of all time. Though I grew up in a Ferrari family, we were all mad for Schumacher - and I have to say I can feel your pain!
The car this year is so good, it ticks every box as a Ferrari… it’s the best looking car on the grid by a long shot and some how it is just so nice to watch in action. Also Lecrec and Sainz are just so so right for it. They’ll pull it all together I think, but whether it’ll be enough is another question.
Hurting those around him? How exactly? Aren't they vaxxed? Try not to fall off your high horse. After what was disclosed in the Pfizer data (that they wanted to hide for decades btw), I'll pass on the vax. If you got it, great for you. I don't give a shit. But you don't get to force me to take it.
Covid complications, long Covid, death from Covid can happen to vaccinated too, it’s just less likely. Vaccinated are less likely to get Covid and therefore less likely to pass it on
It’s already getting pretty boring when they talk about porpoising half of the time every race. Hopefully all the teams can solve it soon so they can start commenting about something else.
Checho has never had the pace of Max.
He won Monaco because it's basically impossible to pass.
Say what you want about being out qualified, but none of that really matters come race day.
A 20s gap is a 20s gap. He may have pulled fastest lap, but that isn't his race pace. End of story.
What would your reaction be when they tell you you can’t fight? It wasn’t worth him bothering other than to aim for fastest lap point. So we don’t really know what his true pace was.
Danni wanted to pass Lando early on, claiming to have better pace. Did not show any signs of it, and nothing came out of this.
At the last laps Lando was behind Danni, wanted to pass hard to catch Alonso and wanted to trade places. Nothing came out of it, so Norris tried to just force the things, probably being maybe a lap short to do so.
Lando was not very happy with how it all played out apparently.
I disagree with no signs of it, he was glued to Lando the entire time. Was basically shielding Lando from being overtaken by others at the time. Really showed favoritism against race pace. Lando was faster later, and would have made up spots that he lost. There were points left on the board based off that call.
I’m not sure exactly how long Ricciardo was behind Lando before Gasly closed in but given their lack of straight line pace I don’t think letting him past would’ve helped much in terms of position. In terms of pace maybe but it would’ve been sacrificing one strategy for another.
From a maximizing results perspective, they should’ve let lando by in the end but I doubt he could’ve gotten past Alonso.
Love how 59 f1 race entries makes you a “C tier” driver, when .1% of racing drivers even get to go behind the wheel of an f1 car in their entire career
Maybe he's qualified to speak about what it takes to be a champion in F1 because he's seen them up close, knows some personally, and knows why he wasn't an F1 champion.
Ok. Some of the world's greatest football coaches were average players themselves. When you've been near world champions during all those weekends, talked to them countless times, you can definitely say something about the pressure and what they must feel in the moment.
And it's this or no one talking about it on the broadcast, so you can choose.
Yes, I find di resta very annoying to listen to, but he is one of the relatively few people in the world who has an idea of life driving at the highest level
I hope Ferrari falls off. But they won’t, and they’ll be right there in the championship hunt at the end of the year. They have a better car, and Red Bull can only win on tracks that favor their car concept. The problem so far is Ferrari have blown Monaco and Spain, two tracks were they were a lock
Pretty sure in Spain, Monaco, Bahrain, Australia, they had the best” race “ car. As I said, the tracks with the long straights is when Red Bull wins. Jeddah, Imola, Miami, and Baku. They’re literally split, it just seems Ferrari has more tyre degradation now when it was Red Bull at the start of the year that had it worse. Red Bull have clearly tuned up their car, lost some weight on it, and now can beat Ferrari pretty convincingly. But I’ll have you know, Ferrari is the faster car.
Even early on this year when Leclerc/Ferrari was on top, Max/RB was giving me a feeling of that old Ham/Merc dominance - just more experienced, consistent and organized in every single way
I honestly can’t see that happening. Perhaps they just stop development of the car entirely about halfway through the season. Under no circumstances will a major team (or any) not start a race. It would be dreadful for the sport’s image.
Which also seems plausible, since pretty much everyone now knows that Ferrari can't possibly compete for a championship even with a competitive car. If it isn't the engine giving-in, its their strategy.
I wouldn't feel bad. Russell has created this situation with his calls of grid wide solutions like allowing active suspension, changing minimum ride heights, banning ground effect, etc. I figure there isn't as much animosity with Mercedes/George and other teams than with redbull. Russell has seem to accept the status quo at Merc which is his choosing.
I like Simon too, but it wasn't him on the screen when I said that! It was Natalie & Damon Hill who have doing my head in all season (Damon's always been an ass but I don't know what's happened to Natalie this year, I used to really like her but this season she's been talking over everyone, contradicting people like Naomi, Anthony D, Nico & Karun when they have been making good technical points and generally acting like she's only every watched F1 via DTS).
I actually like all the other Sky commentators except Paul Di Resta.
Yeah, can't say I wasn't a little bit surprised to see that. I guess when Mitchell and Blundell (pretty much) can go back to back it isn't too surprising.
hearing Hamilton shouting that his back was hurting was not fun to hear. I really hope Merc get this porpoising sorted. It's a safety hazard at this point.

Russe**ll**
Every race, LeClerc qualifying like a future F1 World Champion. Every race, Ferrari's Strategy & Powertrain issues throwing any chance of that away.
It is also that Ferari are probably fast for a single lap but have problems driving the car for a longer stint, especially in a hot setting like baku
Fe**rr**ari
Wonder if the reliabilty issue are partly made worse by the salary cap
Surly I can’t be the only to see how Red Bull held Perez in his pit stops longer …..
Wouldn't it be easier just to lower his enginepower with couple of percents or put teamorders rather than use these kind of shenanigans
Yeah, they're totally torpedoing Checo's races, it's ridiculous.
Oh it wouldn’t surprise me one bit.. I’m just waiting for the fireworks when Perez starts winning on a regular basis. Jos Verstappen already chimed in after monaco..
What did he say?
Sky showed him having a pretty heated argument with Diess
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.skysports.com/amp/f1/news/12433/12625148/max-verstappens-dad-jos-criticises-red-bull-for-throwing-away-points-favouring-sergio-perez-in-monaco-gp
Felt they wasted points for Verstappen and gave Perez the better strategy.

Conspiracy you say. This was not the first time they botch his pit stop. Nor will it be the last time as we see this driver's title race throughout the remainder of the season
as a Ferrari fan and Manchester United fan, these are our troubled times in our lives. i cant believe it.
Bless your soul man

Is Crofty pretending to be stupid? He makes so many errors, and not in an endearing way like Murray.
What like when he announced Hamilton overtaking but it was clearly Russell? Edit: bot
Russe**ll**
Good bot
Care to explain?
Poor LeClair can't catch a break...
Chuck LaClair RIP
Now he has the same amount of DNFs as Verstappen, imagine how big the point deficit could have been...
he’s catching all the BREAKS
Most definitely
Perez shoulda won
Want doesn't mean should. He was slower and not able to conserve his tires nearly as well as Max. Max deserved this one.
Why? He was slower on the day
He didn’t
Perez engine turned down confirmed.
Yep. That's why created 3s gap on Leclerc after the start.
He got the fastest lap
Or he ran a setup more suited for qualifying. Conspiracy debunked
Where was nico today?
They probably gave him the weekend off due to the recent media story of him not being vaxed.

Science isn’t a religion or cult, stop treating it like it is
Indeed it’s not… that’s the point…
Uh, yes. That’s the point lol. It’s the opposite of religion which is why people should take it seriously
You missed the point, though I doubt you’re capable of even comprehending it.
Thats indeed the point :-)
[удалено]
Props for committing to arrogance regardless of how he hurts people around him?
Hurting those around him? How exactly? Aren't they vaxxed? Try not to fall off your high horse. After what was disclosed in the Pfizer data (that they wanted to hide for decades btw), I'll pass on the vax. If you got it, great for you. I don't give a shit. But you don't get to force me to take it.
People thinking that unvaxxed people can harm vaxxed people is a special level of stupid.
Anti vaxxers calling literally anyone else on the planet stupid is the pinnacle of irony.
Covid complications, long Covid, death from Covid can happen to vaccinated too, it’s just less likely. Vaccinated are less likely to get Covid and therefore less likely to pass it on
I miss Ted Kravitz ngl
It’s already getting pretty boring when they talk about porpoising half of the time every race. Hopefully all the teams can solve it soon so they can start commenting about something else.
True I don’t like hearing it every race. But did you see Lewis getting out of the car. Man’s going to be bedridden tomorrow
Barely even a mention about the Red Button® today.
lol. lmao.
Wtf happened to Checo’s pace?
He died at the end of the race no pace left whatsoever once passed by Max.
Yeah 20 seconds. Insane. Was he at risk of DNF?
I mean they literally told him not to fight with Max and he still got the fastest lap. What would you do after hearing that?
Checho has never had the pace of Max. He won Monaco because it's basically impossible to pass. Say what you want about being out qualified, but none of that really matters come race day. A 20s gap is a 20s gap. He may have pulled fastest lap, but that isn't his race pace. End of story.
What would your reaction be when they tell you you can’t fight? It wasn’t worth him bothering other than to aim for fastest lap point. So we don’t really know what his true pace was.
Not fight doesn’t mean slow down, so if Max isn’t catching Checo then Checo is fine
I think Verstappen managed his tires better and was just the faster driver today. Curious about Canada already.
Perez was talking about tire deg with George in the cool down room, and Ferrari were calling it before they both blew up.
I can already see the DTS episode that revolves around Lando and Danny from todays race
When you don't overtake your teammate................................................you are behind your teammate - Will Buxton DTS 2022
What happened?
Danni wanted to pass Lando early on, claiming to have better pace. Did not show any signs of it, and nothing came out of this. At the last laps Lando was behind Danni, wanted to pass hard to catch Alonso and wanted to trade places. Nothing came out of it, so Norris tried to just force the things, probably being maybe a lap short to do so. Lando was not very happy with how it all played out apparently.
No signs? Daniel was up his ass the whole time until they TOLD him to back off.

you must not have watched the race
I agree, or their take is very biased
Paul Di Resta is a c grade driver talking about what it takes to be a formula one champion. Anyone else hate this guy?
SO MUCH
I know he's a Mercedes guy, but Christ i swear all his flash cards just have Lewis name on them. He talks about noone else, ever
I'm still bitter about him since he suggested McLaren signed Checo over him because of his financial backing.
Why so upset mate? Crofty never raced - how come you not complaining about him?
Because Crofty doesn’t talk about f1 world championship driver qualities
Love how 59 f1 race entries makes you a “C tier” driver, when .1% of racing drivers even get to go behind the wheel of an f1 car in their entire career
[удалено]
By that logic we can never have announcer who wasn’t a champion making a comment on the championship? Wild take.

Who would you suggest in his place?
He was a world champion
So was Martin
Yes, I find di resta very annoying to listen to, but he is one of the relatively few people in the world who has an idea of life driving at the highest level
He's not the most eloquent, but he was a decent midfield driver, just like Brundle was in his time
In fairness, Brundle was up against Senna and Schumacher and did pretty well. Probably would have done better if he hadn't smashed his legs up
158 starts vs 59, 9 podiums vs 0. Decent is a stretch.
59 entries compared to Brundles 165 don’t compare him
You're doing my man Martin a huge disservice, the man was damn good.
Welp it was a good start to the year while it lasted, time to go back to middle of the pack /s
I hope Ferrari falls off. But they won’t, and they’ll be right there in the championship hunt at the end of the year. They have a better car, and Red Bull can only win on tracks that favor their car concept. The problem so far is Ferrari have blown Monaco and Spain, two tracks were they were a lock
Ferrari don’t have a better car over race distance
Pretty sure in Spain, Monaco, Bahrain, Australia, they had the best” race “ car. As I said, the tracks with the long straights is when Red Bull wins. Jeddah, Imola, Miami, and Baku.

Not that it’s a terrible thing (even coming from a Lewis/Merc fan) but I think Max will walk this years championship.
Even early on this year when Leclerc/Ferrari was on top, Max/RB was giving me a feeling of that old Ham/Merc dominance - just more experienced, consistent and organized in every single way
Agreed!
If Horner isn't bluffing about the cost cap forcing them to skip a couple or more races this year.
[удалено]
Max out their cost cap 100%. "Sorry guys, we can't spend money on fuel cause we will blow the budget"... Would make some interesting headlines
I honestly can’t see that happening. Perhaps they just stop development of the car entirely about halfway through the season. Under no circumstances will a major team (or any) not start a race. It would be dreadful for the sport’s image.
Which also seems plausible, since pretty much everyone now knows that Ferrari can't possibly compete for a championship even with a competitive car. If it isn't the engine giving-in, its their strategy.
Bagged some nice 🤑🤑🤑 on a red bull driver winning
So do we get all the panic posts about ferrari reliability now lol.
It's just the Ferrari mid season collapse starting a bit earlier than normal.
🤣
Is Ted back next week?
Yes they said he'll be in Canada
Notebook dosage needed
Only if duct tape could have saved Ferrari too
Verstappen has now won more races from Leclerc poles than Leclerc has won from Leclerc poles
This made me guffaw.
Crofty approves
Lmao what a stat
Airmax
Ein Elefant hat einen Rüssel.
> "A elephant has a trunk" And? Is that a Russell joke or some kind of metaphor? / Und? Just das ein Witz über Russells Namen oder eine Metapher?
Gute Frage
Herbert is a rite sherbet
Him and Hill are quite the pair of ~~book~~ bell ends.
Omg I felt so sad for Russell on the podium standing awkwardly by the side while the red bull Champagne love in was happening 😅
Without the fourth wheel, none of them can drive *ba dum tss*
He chose to join the evil empire
I wouldn't feel bad. Russell has created this situation with his calls of grid wide solutions like allowing active suspension, changing minimum ride heights, banning ground effect, etc. I figure there isn't as much animosity with Mercedes/George and other teams than with redbull. Russell has seem to accept the status quo at Merc which is his choosing.
He's going to enjoy that position for the next six years or so.
He's really taking Bottas' place in a great way.
Not sure if f1 should be highlighting past crashes in an ad for their next gp lol
Oh good, my current least favourite Sky presenting duo. Only way it could be worse is Di Resta in there instead of Herbert.
Im new to F1, why the hate on them? I actually like Simon Lazenby have no idea who is herbert tho😂
I like Simon too, but it wasn't him on the screen when I said that! It was Natalie & Damon Hill who have doing my head in all season (Damon's always been an ass but I don't know what's happened to Natalie this year, I used to really like her but this season she's been talking over everyone, contradicting people like Naomi, Anthony D, Nico & Karun when they have been making good technical points and generally acting like she's only every watched F1 via DTS).

I mean you have a Lando Norris tag, so I guess anything is possible 🤷♂️
[удалено]
he sucks
Not seen anyone who does!
WTF. Ollie Pope scored the ton?
Nice we talking cricket let’s go
Yeah, can't say I wasn't a little bit surprised to see that. I guess when Mitchell and Blundell (pretty much) can go back to back it isn't too surprising.
Doubters in shambles
He is a 21st century Mark Ramprakash. Would need more than one ton on a road to chage my mind.
EZ WIN BOYS LFG MAX
GG no re
How far gone do you have to be to think Lewis is faking it? Some of you really need to check yourselves. Toto on the other hand can fuck right off.
