Do you think Vettel called Aston already? He told the media last year that if he could just do Suzuka and no other race, he would do it. Next week it´s Suzuka, and Stroll is hurt. That's just too perfect a scenario to ignore. Would be massive publicity and a unique opportunity to have Alonso and Vettel race as teammates

Perez finished 11 seconds in front of Lawson, so a penalty won't change the results.

i like these new red bull upgrades, they should keep them the rest of the season

Hell of a strategic masterclass pulled off by Sainz today. I think most people already knew this but today he really underscored that additional layer he has over Leclerc in being able to think/adapt on the fly, versus Leclerc who only seems to have a fast/slow switch and obediently follows whatever the pit wall tells him (often not for the best). Definitely the kinda tools you need to pull off a championship challenge over the course of a season if Ferrari can ever produce the car to do so. Especially now that he seems to be on terms with Leclerc in raw one-lap pace as well, which was lacking previously.

So what did happen with Perez and Albon? Williams tweet has been deleted

I said it after Monza and I´ll say it again: a penalty should always result in losing minimum 1 position.

I rate this. Regardless of the hit happening lap 1 or 99, instead of serving 5 seconds at a pit stop or post race, you're put 1 position back.

Max Verstappen can technically punt 5 cars off and win by 30 seconds otherwise.

Watching the F1 kids broadcast now, interesting how they play different team radio. All positive ones like "lets's go boys" "great overtake" "you're doing good in p9 kev"

Watching the normal broadcast it's usually negative comments, moaning or swearing.

And I'm starting to notice the tv direction is different too. On lap 13 they are focusing on the 2 haas drivers chased by gasly. On the normal feed, it was a full lap of focus on the ferrari's and shots from their pitbox and team radio about their pace. Completely ignored on the f1 kids broadcast

Man what atrocious TV directing for that race. We had Piastri and Perez swapping positions twice at the last chicane completely ignored when you could see it start to happen from the overhead chopper shot. Completely missed the Perez/Albon incident. Pretty much ignored all the KMag action. This was Monaco and Suzuka 90's level of bad.
