That was some race. McLaren need to tighten up their pit wall though.

Hamilton winning at Silverstone in his last race in a Mercedes was pretty special

His last British GP in a Mercedes not his last race in one.

AND, Hass has been scoring some points! They did get a new principal this year, coincidence?

Oh Guenther.

When was the last time you see someone stuff the safety car?

I like it when medical cars try to run over the drivers.

Russel can't catch a break.

Russel can't catch a break.

I think he's going to have a tough time with the kid next year.

The key moments played out from Lesmo 2 on his final lap, where Antonelli swooped through at a pretty impressive speed.

His minimum speed through there was 184km/h – which is 7km/h faster than Max Verstappen managed on the fastest lap of the session.

Things are even more impressive through the Ascari Chicane, as Antonelli went through there at 190km/h – with Verstappen only managing 176km/h on his fastest lap.

Other front runners were a similar margin behind Antonelli on their fastest laps at the end of the session – Lewis Hamilton’s minimum speed was 177km/h, Charles Leclerc was 178km/h and Lando Norris 179km/h.

Comparing data from all the drivers at the end of the session – despite how much track improvement there had been – Antonelli’s speed through Lesmo 2 exit and through the first segment of Ascari early on was not surpassed by anyone.

But the tremendous speed that Antonelli took through both the Lesmos and Ascari was not without consequence – as it pushed his tyres beyond their limit.

This meant that as he exited Ascari, the rears in particular were overheating hugely. So, when he turned through Parabolica, the rear grip had basically gone – which explains why the car turned around so quickly on him.

As Wolff later explained: “I guess he was just bitten. Everyone suffered from the temperature, especially rear temperatures around Ascari at these kinds of speeds – that is why the rear stepped out.”

Of course, some of Antonelli’s speed advantage through the corner can be explained by his inexperience of tyres – because he pushed too hard and that triggered the overheating that was behind his demise. Other more experienced drivers knew they had to manage their pace to be sure to keep the tyres alive.

But, if Mercedes wanted some evidence that Antonelli has the talent needed to push F1 machinery to its limit, then the squad got everything it wanted on Friday at Monza.

“We would rather have a problem in slowing him down than making him faster,” said Wolff. “What we have seen in one and a half laps is just astonishing.”

Colapinto did a solid job.

Just to resurrect this thread based on yesterday's race.

It was kinda one for the ages for those who missed it.

[supermodel159]

^^ Agreed. Even got Lewis praising Max's drive. Considering their past, I found that to be significant.

which is anyone who was planning to watch it live based on the revised start time announced Saturday. Race was over by the time you tuned in, and clearly some fantastic driving (and dumb decisions)

[jerlane]

My Youtube Tv recording started playing at lap 32 or so. Verstappen was already in second at that point. Pretty much missed all the action. Lame! I'll still go back to see the first half of the race.

[m2711c]

Yeah, I was pretty pissed. I had all kinds of shit going on that day and it took a big fucking effort to get in front of the fucking TV at the announced Start time only to find out the fucking race was already half over. Bummer.

good result for Alpine. More fucking points in one race than they’ve gotten all season so far.

[PNWbrit]

That was a huge drive by Max.

That was a huge drive by Max.

A career affirming performance ? No one can argue that he isn't the 'best' driver racing today (unless you're a NASCAR/WRC bigot, and even then you'd have an uphill struggle). The Gods of FIA were aligned against him, and boy did he show them !

He did screw the developing excitement of the driver's championship though. So boo!

It does beg the question of where Stroll lands in the pantheon of drivers (while remembering Le Clerc did the same thing a few years ago, but with flair)

Better than his pissy hissy fit, shitshow from Mexico. That was embarrassing over agro.
And I, like others, missed the first half

On his face.

Is there anyone involved with F1 that remembers Michael was a failure because he wouldn’t commit to Europe? Seems weird for that to be the key.

I think there's more than that to it. But he certainly didn't make any fans in 1993.

He probably pissed a lot of people off with a "do you know who I am" and "this isn't that difficult I've had a winning indycar team" attitude.

Edit: here's a good explanation of the whole thing

[supermodel159]

So we don't get a Porsche team...but...we get Cadillac?

[PNWbrit]

We got Audi from the VW group instead. Which makes sense.



Also how fucking egotistical is Mario Andretti to still want/be prepared to have his name involved in anyway with this project after his son was so clearly amputated from it by all other parties.

I bet the Andretti Thanksgiving table is going to be interesting this year.

[dunfree]

Given all the other Andretti’s who’ve driven for the team (worked too?) they might be quite thankful.

Any good reviews of the new Senna series on Netflix?
