How is Norris so shit at VSC restarts? Has there been a single VSC where he hasn't ended up super close to the guy behind or super far away from the guy ahead

Accurate representation of the data the F1 teams have about their cars and the publicly available telemetry data.
You can still tell it's a horse but you can't truly know any details

I can't believe that the whole of F1 is losing their heads over a team internal T1 "incident" that literally ended with another driver between them.
If I have to see one more analysis about how it's a slam dunk penalty that doesn't acknowledge the existence of Verstappen in the middle I'll lose it

Serious Q to everyone who says LEC should've given the position back to HAM: when?
Bc when he gave the position back to NOR, VER was ahead of HAM.
So are we talking like a lap later which would've been unusual since he already gave up most of his advantage. or was he supposed to let VER past too?

Since the Ferraris were on opposite strategies I compared their fuel corrected* medium and soft stints.
And the real difference in the race was the medium stint where HAM had more deg much earlier. Their soft stints are honestly surprisingly similar (HAMs last lap was removed for viz purposes)

Imagine watching this race and not thinking Charles Leclerc can win a world championship with a proper car over a full year. Superb.
P3 considering he had the higher deg tyre in the first stint and constantly off line defending as well. Superb.
And a huge assist to the outstanding Max as well.

McLaren truly can not afford to not prioritise the championship leader rn.
and I know PIA has been a bit ass but I wonder how much of that is psychological from watching VER close up and not getting the full support of the team.

We all knew but this officially being made public by a court this close to his comments about Max having drivers as parents is hilarious.
The revelations in court that Lando Norris paid for testing and FP1 sessions aren't news to anyone who's worked in motorsport.
Drivers paying teams for sessions, either directly or via sponsors, is the norm, not the exception.
1/5 🧵

Anyway McLaren as a whole, both drivers and team are doing their best to give Max his 5th wdc and I am a bit surprised but I am here for it

they don't cut radios why would FOM do that and they are they only ones that could do it.
the man just doesn't speak ffs
can we stop spreading false bullshit like that?
you can watch his left thumb press the radio button and when it is on there is also light on on the steering wheel nothing was cut

it didn't happen but at least Ferrari asked. because that is what you usually do. you let one guy try and if it doesn't work you swap them back (but this is giving Brazil 22 RBR 😂 even though swapping now would've been harder)
but I guess it is also a lession learnt for Leclerc

I know points wise it doesn't matter but Ferrari should swap the cars back since the gap is only 1.6s

Well if Max Verstappen wins this race 👀
I still doubt the Red Bull will be good enough at tracks like Singapore. But my goodness.
A shocking weekend from Piastri.
