For some of us, the sport died that day.
All attempts to have ALL STAKEHOLDERS have a say in the "significant change of direction" from sporting fairness to entertainment have failed.
If the restart was illegal, then the Stewards' denial of the Merc-AMG was wrong and should be reviewed by the ICA.

Why do Sprint weekends now require two Quali events? Isn't the Sprint finishing order supposed to determine the starting order for the main race? Is it about not wanting to lose the revenue from a 5-session event weekend or is it something else.

IMO, the comms between Hamilton and Adami are broken but repairable. First thing is to determine when to lead and when to follow...RA should spend lot of hours following the Bono/HAM races and try to emulate that.

Adami could stay but he'd need to conform to Lewis' needs and style, not the other way 'round. There are 12 years of radio comms between Hamilton and Bono that Adami could review. I doubt he has even listened to one event.

Adami zou kunnen blijven, maar dan zou hij zich moeten aanpassen aan de behoeften en stijl van Lewis, en niet andersom. Er zijn 12 jaar aan radiocommunicatie tussen Hamilton en Bono die Adami zou kunnen beluisteren. Ik betwijfel of hij er ook maar één heeft beluisterd.

God, I hope that one team has not figgered out the 'secret sauce' of the new regs and we can get back to actual racing!

we got two years of "Lather. Rinse. Repeat." events from the one team that broke the inaugural cap by 1.6%...0.38% if you give @redbullracingf1.bsky.social the tax credit they failed to claim.

In the same way that the FIA attempted to scuttle Schumacher's run by giving the sport a 'No tyre changes' year, the rebirth of ground effects was intended to end Merc/Hamilton dominance.
Woud have worked better if the cost cap and the GFX cars had come together as originally planned. Instead,

@scuderiaferrarif1.bsky.social Seb may like him but Adami's info is slow and too often irrelevant...Sorry to be hard on a guy that I don't know.
The 'broken flow' is easily seen and a little painful to hear.

...erm...most karts don't have enough fuel to do one lap on the actual circuit...and not every venue does even has a karting track to use instead.
Each team given a 'spec' Dallara that is either randomly assigned or rotated through the field is an idea I could see working.
