Obs 1 - All you canadians must be proud of your boy Lafiti for being the kingmaker. LOL
Obs 2 - Perez's masterclass defensive play against hamilton was worth the price of admission.
style matters...
I think you're looking at last year on old format track.
Pole was 1:22.109
20th on Grid 1:25.685
But yep similar.
Take as a for instance (picked at random)
1986 British GP
Pole 1:07.690
20th 1:12.848
Considerably bigger over a far shorter lap
And the gap to the last car on the 26 car grid was +11.738
the story is more told by the final classification of that race. A little more than a third were classified at the end of the race (9 of 26) and only 2 were unlapped. Some drivers only completed 1 race of the 15/16 they were in that season
compare to 2021 Saudi Arabia were 3/4 finished the race and 12 were on the first lap. Not just faster, but far more reliably fast.
Agreed on #2. If you want to watch again: https://streamable.com/vfkk6r

Not quite F1 but Danny Ongais died yesterdayI figured some of you guys would remember him.
6 f1 entries with 4 starts ain't nothing....
What a race.
I'm sure when everyone and everything is safely out of Saudi the full story of the events on Friday night will come out. Wouldn't surprise me if that's the last Saudi Grand Prix. Which would be good for many reasons including that the track is just too dangerous.
Watching the first F1 in Miami. Mixed feelings about the track. I think it would have been much better as a city street track, but the announcers seem to be impressed with the track so far. Tomorrow should be interesting with all the cars on the track at the same time.
I want to go next year. That looks like such a fun party.
3 DRS zones should make for some passing. I hope LH has a good run.
F1 still interesting. Rooting for Alonso. Surely they practiced today at Silverstone?
I have a love/hate relationship with F1. This guy was a big part of developing it:
"I'd still take a bullet for him," Ecclestone told the show. "I'd rather it didn't hurt, but if it does I'd still take a bullet because he's a first-class person. What he's doing is something that he believed was the right thing he was doing for Russia."
…
"I'm quite sure that Ukraine, if they'd wanted to get out of it, could have done," he said. When asked by the hosts if he thinks Zelensky was to blame for not avoiding this conflict—a ridiculous accusation when you consider that Russia invaded Crimea long before Zelensky took power—Ecclestone replied "absolutely."

More historic venues/less in countries run by authoritarian regimes would be nice.
Bernie is a sack of shit that’s sucked up to dictators and sacks of shit for years and is a flow through pipe of stupid who’s best remaining life is a crash barrier. Look at the money Liberty made by not following the instincts of that cretin.
Note: sucking up to dictators and sacks of shit is the history of F1. There are perhaps fewer Porfiro Rubirosa now though
Funny how this sack of shits random mudderings carry any weight at all.
