For everyone else to have a laugh:

“Ferrari presented a number of what Laurent Mekies, their deputy technical director, said were "quite overwhelming" new evidence.
This included analysis of telemetry from Vettel's car, on-board camera views from both cars; a camera facing towards the German's face during the race; GPS analysis of the cars' trajectories; and a witness statement from the driver himself.
One piece of evidence submitted by Ferrari was television analysis by former F1 driver Karun Chandhok, an unusual step for a team to take in such a situation”

They should have just taken the result rather than flogging their dead horse in such humiliating fashion. Ferrari, not just losers but sore losers.

Appeal thrown out.
Did you see what they submitted as significant new evidence? I had tears of laughter, such a shit show all round from Ferrari.

Lando Norris having a good weekend. Solid 5th on the grid and only 1/100th away from 4th.

I thought they said they would remove the chicane in the middle of the straight after everyone moaned about it last year. It’s such a boring track because of all the run off - I switched to the N24 and only caught the last few minutes of Q3.
Read about Ferrari updating their whole car pretty much for this race and they seem slower if anything...

They moaned about the chicane prior to last year’s race but during the race itself it’s where all the overtakes were, which is what it was designed for.

Ugh this track sucks donkey dick.

Why are there random gorillas littered around the track? I remember Kimi mocking the gorilla trophy last year but it’s so random.

Such a dull race, except for the last lap. Feel sorry for Norris losing that many places on the last lap.

Indeed, hopefully McLaren can maintain the pace.

Seb seems to have gone off the boil, wonder if he’s done for this season already?

He doesn't seem to have the attitude he used to have, maybe marriage and impending fatherhood have affected him.

Looks like DR got penalties so he got at least one place back. Good performance by the lad.

The team radio for it was interesting, didn’t realise the diff uses the same hydraulics as basically everything else on the car!

No, think he was 10th on the road but classified 9th after DR's penalty.

Yes, DR did. I'm talking about LN getting a place back. Re-read the posts. ;)

That and the fact Ferrari are a bit shit, he falls apart when racing wheel to wheel and generally thinking the whole world is against him?

Paddy Lowe leaving Williams with immediate effect, wonder if that means Williams slipping further back?

I wonder what kind of non disclosure agreement he has, waiting to see if he slags them off as useless and not listening to him

I wonder how much they’re paying Patrick Head for his 2 days a week from home?
