Lawson and Colapinto proving themselves again.

(I really like Valtteri, but come on Sauber, give that 2025 seat to Colapinto please)

I can't find it anymore but I'm sure I read on reddit some years ago that a driver back in the 2000ies made that comment in a TV interview, saying that there was a closeted gay driver in F1 without naming him, and that there should be no place in F1 for men "like him".

Exactly. The UK trapped Assange for years inside that embassy but they didnt dare to actually raid it. That's a step way way too far.

If I had a nickel for every time this weekend a team had no spare part of an important destroyed car part, I'd have two nickels. Which isnt much, but it's weird that it happened.

It wasnt FOM alleging, it was the FIA. Then the FIA investigated the FOM.

Which made it pretty clear to me that this had nothing to do with Suzie and a lot to do with the FIA-FOM conflict.

Thanks for all of your work! Is that the "learning Rust & Lemmy" project already wielding the first few commits?

I mean, in theory they have a lot more options than that.

Contracts expiring at the end of 2024 include..

Somewhat likely that Merc would consider them:

• Gasly
• Tsunoda
• Hulkenberg

Probably not:

• Bottas
• Perez

Certainly not:

• Sargeant
• Zhou
• Magnussen

All Teams were told that burnouts are not allowed and all teams relayed that message to their drivers. I think Max was the only one to do them anyways because he didnt care.

I understand that they didnt expect this particular incident. But sessions being delayed isnt some magical new thing. It happens all the time. They shouldn't have organized the personnel in a way that they were already maxed out by default.

I learned that in biology class 20 years ago.

Sainz, Leclerc and Perez basically doing identical laptimes. Let's ignore Max and it's all really tight

No further action on the lap time violation by Sainz and Leclerc is typical FIA lol

But nice to see Carlos on pole!
