Why not have Gasly do it? Should'a let Yuki do it, they're used to rebuilding his car so no sweat. |

I am very concerned about this.
I think LuLu should sit out the rest of the season so he can heal.
You ARE a good person.  |

^^6The team is responsible for the equipment to get the appropriate sample from the tank using the FIA fuel nipple. Their calculations may show there is enough but the bottom line is getting the sample.
I don't think any disassembly is allowed.
Losing second is a pisser so good luck to them.

All hail Fred, drive of the day right there. Bonus points for helping prove Lulu's hypocrisy beyond a doubt.

To me their only defense can be the sampling mechanism failed. Force majeure. As you said, good luck |

Alpine pitwall: "Fernando, a Mercedes is coming behind you 4 seconds/lap faster. He will pass you on the next lap"
Alonso: "Hold my beer and watch this"

The question I have is why do they need a liter - that is a f'n lot of fuel to run a test on, in fact that much fuel in a testing location is a extreme fire hazard. |

^ Not enough fuel left after crossing the finish line? What is the actual purpose of this "fuel test"? No fuel left over would be optimal in my view. WTF is wrong with the people writing the rules here?  |

WTF is wrong with the people writing the rules here? The test is too see if the fuel used in the race matches the samples from before the race which are tested to ensure they meet FIA formulation regulations. |

Why (and how) wouldn't the fuel formula not match that tested immediately prior to the race? I don't get this excessive/repetitive testing here!  |

The other answer is called cheatin'. |

Bottas took a 5 spot grid penalty for next race for sliding on the wet. What a difference your last name makes... I guess sliding in the wet is more egregious than sliding in the dry. |

Nonsense penalties. Mercedes can recover 10 seconds or 5 places in a dozen laps or so. Meanwhile most Redbull chasis are gone. It appears one or more of the Honda engines is fubar too. Insane costs aside, Red Bull will now must come up with the replacement chasis and cross fingers they turn out ok (sometimes there is tenths of seconds difference between same chasis) How about the Honda engine(s) though. If one of the engines is fecked, it will count against their engines limit, right? Kind of ridiculous and a farce if Mercedes wins championships by wrecking the competitor out of cars and engines... |

So proud of Alonso. That was a brilliant drive. Honestly, it was more impressive than Ocon's, but Ocon did his job perfectly as well. Alonso's best finish (P4) since 2014 and his first laps led since 2014 as well. It's cool to see people, even his detractors, offer more respect today than they've ever offered in the past.

My students are now new Alonso fans. IDK. Send help!
I will make the Lewis Misty Memories thread at some point. He is still the highest order of a self absorbed person with no ethics, but I have to give him that "Drive to Survive" made every moron I know watch F1 and give the dumbest hot takes I have ever heard. (This is a reference to Mclaren not letting there be a Hambone reality TV show - let's just all laugh about that now).

So Bottas gets a 5 spot grid demotion after being responsible for taking out nearly a quarter of the grid? This after Lewis' demolition of Red Bull 1 in Silverstone and Valtteri's of #2 and crippling of #1 the following race.
If Karma actually exists, why has it been so tardy catching up to the Mercedes Mercenary Squad?
Was great to see Alonso dishing out a devastatingly effective and calculated defense for Ocon and the Alpine team. I think there is only one or two other drivers with those capabilities in F1 right now.
Vettel deserves 2nd. Can anyone recall any post-race fuel discrepancies in the past, - - oh let's say 20 years?
My thought following the driver podium interviews was that all that 'booing' was having a definitely perceptible effect on Lewis. Despite his claim that it 'fuels' his determination, I think it is having effects on the whole Mercedes outfit, and justifiably so.
Covid? Maybe. Conscience? Remains to be seen.
Can't wait for their welcome in Holland!
