Doesn't seem like Toto's technical directive on the alleged "flexi floors" slowed down Redbull all that much......!

More top-class strategy calls from Ferrari yesterday! 🙄

They are making it waaaay to easy for RB/MV ☹️

Well the team is run by a guy that looks like Where's Waldo so at least they've got that.

Toto is an unlikable boob.  I do like his work on that song Africa though.  Bloody catchy.

This thread reads like a soap opera when you know nothing about F1.

Drive To Survive pretty much makes the whole thing look exactly like a massive, drama filled, soap opera.

And...it is...lol. All sports have a lot of drama, but with the amount of money and prestige that F1 deals with it seems ramped up a bit...between silly season, team principals seeming to love drama and drivers being...drivers...it get's silly sometimes.

Speaking of silly season...what are your predictions for what current F1 driver that is NOT going to be driving F1 next year? Is Danny gone, Mick, Latifi...what about them? Stroll will of course still be driving...he's actually doing better this year, so that's good to see...but who do you think is out...and who is going to replace them?

Vettel is also going. 

And maybe Piastri seems to be driving for at least two teams...😃

Hamilton is sure thin-skinned.  Pouty-baby.

De Vries enters a single race, and already has more points than Latifi .... lulz

Yeah, Latifi needs to go....he's had his chance. Did you see Nyck trying to get out of the car after the race...he couldn't move his arms/shoulders...it's brutal in those cars!

I wonder how much money Latifi brings to Williams, I'm sure there's better pay drivers out there. Too bad it's not a meritocracy.

Seems like the could tweak the rules around safety cars as well. No one likes safety cars finishes.

Skysports F1 pre & post race coverage has been sucking balls lately. The race coverage with Martin & Crofty is great as always, but they got these random bone-heads on before & after the race who don't know what they're talking about.

It's official, Latifi is out after this season. I think de Vries out-doing him in Monza (which was de Vries' first ever F1 race) was the nail in the coffin.

More blunt comments from Jacques Villeneuve, this time about Daniel Ricciardo. https://www.planetf1.com/news/jacques-villeneuve-alpine-daniel-ricciardo-option/

JV is hilarious. Most of the time I agree with him.

Funny as JV's career wasn't dissimilar to Ricciardo's. He was awesome in the right car but made a bonehead move to an unproven team and barely scored any points.....
