Lots of talk about Perez getting the curly finger - who do people think might get the seat if he does? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykeyb Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 Thought the race was a bit of a bore, difficult to overtake. Only excitement was in the last few laps as the battle for podium places took place although nothing changed at all 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straggler Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 How on earth did that weight thing manage to happen? Shame for George, he did great today. Very strange way to get a DQ as it wasn't even a close run thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 Usually you hear the radio tell them to pick up marbles. Is it a bit of a rookie error by George / Mercedes? I wonder how it became too light? Something missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s no in lap at Spa because the circuit is too long so no opportunity to pick up marbles Apparently it’s because they went for the one stop they had far more work tyres than they would have had if they had a fresher set on 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted July 29 Author Moderator Share Posted July 29 That needs to be a rule change. You can't be including the weight of the tyres as part of the car, because they're perishable. They don't include fuel. They need to reduce the minimum required weight by whatever the usual weight of the tyres is, and then they'd have been fine running a single stopper. As it is now, unless you know you're going to run a one stop before the race, then you can't run one during it. That's stupid. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avfc96 Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Great signing by Williams. Will be interesting to see how the team dynamics play out, with Alton having been the defacto team leader in the 3 seasons he's been there and you would have thought Sainz becoming the team leader when he joins next season.

Would have thought the current turmoil at Sauber/Audi is one of the reasons he didn't go there. Goes to Williams with Merc engines, who are rumoured to have the best engine for 2026 and if it doesn't work out, his contract expires at the end of 2026 anyway.

Avfc96 Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 Jonathan Wheatley who is the sporting director at Red Bull, is off to join Audi as team principal. On the face of it, Red Bull seem to be imploding. No longer the fastest car, a second driver who has been abysmal for months and senior figures leaving. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
