No F1 thread?

That seems unfair. Surely you check all the cars, not just four. There's only 20, hardly a daunting task.

Would make sense to check everyone who is going to get points, then if any of those are disqualified check anyone promoted into a points position and so on.

Also seems a bit silly they’re not allowed to change the plank after the sprint race.

The FIA have always only checked a few cars, usually it's more random, but it's odd that for such a highly funded organisation they have always lacked the manpower to scrutineer more than a handful of cars, let alone all the points paying positions. And they're the ones wanting another F1 team to join in but struggle to police 10 teams already.

Stolen from Facebook- you can see why they ended up more worn than redbull.

Ferrari have stated that Charles plank was only out of tolerance by a couple of tenths of a mm, so I guess it takes more checking than just a tape measure

The whole of Mexico is crying right now. Feel like Perez should have known better than to put his car there

The fuck are Ferrari planning with this strategy? Or are they just doing Ferrari fuck up the strategy thing again

At least we get a reset. Rest of the race would have been a snooze fest.
Has Sainz gone back to being a second rate driver already, Leclerc missing a large portion of his wing and still pulling a gap on him.

Not sure it can be judged as harshly here, with the altitude that end plate probably wasn’t doing that much, he didn’t loose any horizontal elements

Channel4 are allowed to show their highlights at 01:00 UK time.

Whoop.

Whoop.

Surprised Hamilton can fit his balls in that car

[Mito Man]

So how long until those Ferrari hards lap faster than the mediums? Has it been 5 laps yet?

Spoiler

That shouldn’t be happening at an f1 race. Drive to survive has a lot to answer for with they type of fan the sport attracts now

Edit- spoilered because probably nsfw due to violence- Perez fans scrapping with Ferrari fans in the grandstands

The fan atmosphere really went south once the Football hooligans discovered F1

And speaking of weird shizzle....

edit: hmm - I think you need to click it to view on youchoob, and move the slider to approx 11mins 45secs yourself

Well that was quite a start to the race!

Spoiler

Leclerc loses hydraulics on the formation lap and hits the barriers.

Albon taps Magnussen and Hulkenberg. Piastri and Danny Ric also hit.

Red flag, see who can repair and rejoin.

I thought the grid walk was great

[jamcg]

Well that was quite a start to the race!

Quite the finish too!!!

The middle bit, well, meh
