George Russel just said that he could have finish on the podium if Oscar didn't have his crash during the start race...and I found this funny because Russel is living in a fantasy when he always has an excuse for his race pace or whatever he does wrong during a race , he is never the guilty one and this type of toxicity will not be good for him in the long run. We clearly saw that Piastri had no other place to go and it was Sainz who crashed into Piastri and then Piastri into the barriers so I really don't know what Russel is trying to say in his press release interview... .

He is getting destroyed by Lewis this year and his performances are nowhere near of what Toto wants from his side so maybe Mick really has a chance to take Russel spot next year.

It was quite clear to see from this camera angle where he was positioned he had no other route to go.

Clearly, George Russell is in danger of forced eviction from Mercedes just like Sergio Perez to Max Verstappen, George Russell is the Sergio Perez which is why Mercedes can not afford to let loose Lewis Hamilton because of him because Hamilton is still the GOAT when it comes to Mercedes drivers, we can say Russell is just 2nd to Hamilton,

And speaking of that Crash we can see that Carlos Sainz isn't clearing any path to Oscar Piastri at all which Led to Piastri bumping the barrier, which clearly had an impact on George Russel if he is telling the truth and if he's on the back of the McLaren Oscar Piastri's car, well there is no given footage on the highlights and I haven't watched the full race at all, or it has not been taken footage, that is why, Oscar Piastri didn't make it to podium because of Russel,

It was quite clear to see from this camera angle where he was positioned he had no other route to go.

That was the only angle I have seen on that controversial collision I really think that Oscar Piastri handled it very well while Carlos Sainz is not happy about it and he got a bad impression of Piastri attacking him for being a rookie, and Carlos Sainz didn't take this very lightly and taking the blame to Oscar Piastri, while Piastri's response was very maturely he didn't take the blame on anyone at all and said it was an unavoidable collision but he will review the incident but both drivers can  surely be done a bit more he then added,

In my opinion, Carlos Sainz has said that Piastri has surely taken the inside attacking Lewis Hamilton and him and said it was a very optimistic move, but upon seeing the footage Carlos Sainz was the only one attacking Lewis Hamilton by moving on Piastri's Lane for me Carlos Sainz is just making excuses and taking the blame to Oscar Piastri at that time was just minding his own Business,

[ILuckyGuyI]

This isn't even the only example at turn 1 here. I remember a couple of incidents happened at this turn in the past also and the same thing happened every time. The driver taking the inside has just nowhere to go and he is squeezed between the car beside him and the wall. But still drivers don't give up on taking their chance there.  

It could have been a really wonderful race for Sainz and Piastri both if they had that turn without problems. But being aggressive can sometimes cause drivers to push their luck unnecessarily much.

Now we have a long break and let's see if there will be teams benefiting from this well and returning stronger.

George Russell will be George Russell and I think as an F1 driver anyone can also become very optimistic for themselves in winning the champions think about it who in the F1 doesn't like to be on the top, but surely as a team player George Russell sometimes will still respect Lewis Hamilton but surely if it's not Lewis Hamilton then he will become a hungry in making a lead for himself,

But for me it is not a good quality for a driver to blame it on another driver like what have happen with the Carlos Sainz and Oscar Piastri fiasco that George Russell was on the back of Piastri, he have said, everyone is blaming it on Oscar Piastri and Sainz also calls Piastri as underexperience with this sort of things which is an attack on Piastri which is not a good impression at all, while Piastri is looking cool and just respecting what have happen with the collision,

This isn't even the only example at turn 1 here. I remember a couple of incidents happened at this turn in the past also and the same thing happened every time.

Well, yes there are a similar turn incident just like this in the past and Carlos Sainz is talking about it and all of that are rookie mistakes, we can all say that Sainz is really treating the McLaren Driver as a rookie for F1 and he is not wrong about it but he can not make assumptions that it is just Oscar Piastri that is to blame in this incident because it really is two to tango, which is for me both of them is at fault it could be Piastri was optimistic in entering and attacking the side of Sainz, that end up on him making a hole on the side of Sainz Ferrari F1, while Carlos Sainz is also attacking Hamilton on the side but I have seen that there are still a little inch that he could spare for Piastri, that he have seen him on the side as he have said but still lhe keeps on continuing on that path, and Oscar could have stop from getting across and just make a wait for it,

There are surely something thy can do but due to the heat of the race they are not thinking that fast that end up with this collision,

[rdbase]

All other teams are blaming each other for the crash at the start of last weekend's race: Mercedes, Ferrari and Red Bull are pointing fingers at one another for this one.

The next race we will see Max Verstappen to tie Sebastian Vettel's record of winning 9 races in succession and to be doing it at Zandvoort. On the Dutchmen's home track seems to be his destiny at this point.

Yes seems like destiny wants to tie that record in that particular track, in his home. But maybe the Pastor Maldonado spirit appear and we see a X driver crashing into Max Verstappen , or maybe the Latifi one, dropping a nonsense safety car from the back of the field.

with this car and his skill, he can even start as the last one and win the race.

He is getting some shortage of some components but again if he takes 5-10 position of penalty, by purpose in tracks where he can overtake then he can will all the races until the end of the season.


As Hamilton said at the start of the season, this is the most dominant car ever done (and they are just investigating why)

Yes, but i dont think we are in front of so much mistery, for me its more simple, when Adrian Newey find the key of the car you are done, and i think that its what its happening right now, like other years with RedBull, like when Sebastian Vettel was in there.

Well, yeah there are certain incidents that surely have happened from that corner in the past and it is common because that was a really tight spot with surely limited space to make a pass, and everything can happen in the heat of the moment when a driver will likely take some risk opportunities into consideration and for sure Max Verstappen also have the same issue in the past but likely everything can surely happen and it is really uncontrollable Carlos Sainz for me just wants to put the blame on someone and being a dickhead,

For sure they can just do something like that and blame it on the other team, from what I have known there is no one to blame at all there are just teams that don't want to be put to be blamed by other teams this is F1 racing after all, and all provocation will surely be done by any team

Well we are on a long break and the teams are surely going to be busy upgrading and maintaining the cars some drivers will surely be doing some practice at the Simulation F1, and some will just take this break and relax a bit for sure,

They have indeed found a secret, in each team they have hundreds of engineers.

In 2 years the gap should be reduced not increased, RBR found a secret the question now is when they others will discover it.

Charles Leclerc has been proposed to have signed a new contract extending his stay at Ferrari for the next five years but with options for the final three if he wants to separate from the Scuderia team in the future.

Well yes, but for that i also blame so much Ferrari, because when Mercedes was in his peak RedBull year to year make something to start to cut the gap or something. Now Mercedes its not in his best time like any other cycle in life you cant be always fighting at top, so that responsabilitie realy on Ferrari and they were a piece of shit.

When Ferrari did something innovative 3 years ago and started to win against Mercedes, Mercedes went to FIA and banned Ferrari's innovation.

It is just to find the right loophole in the regulations.

Are you talking about that steroid engine made by Ferrari? If it was that it was clearly a cheat engine made by Ferrari, no matter what we think, if Ferrari and the FIA sign and agreement and they never show what happen... it was because if Ferrari (the main battle cavalry of F1 as a brand) its cheating can harm so much the category, so they make that agreement confidential. And plus the FIA talk with all the other teams and said to them to stop to presure what happen with that......

Next year Ferrari was a mess and his engine a piece of shit. And if Ferrari was innocent they are not gonna sign that.

If Ferrari had been right about this, they wouldn't have closed it this way. I agree with what you said.

We've all watched RedBull's stages of success. They worked for years to reach a higher level and finally they reached the top. It's unusual for a brand like Ferrari to fail so badly in F1. I don't want to criticize Mercedes because you can't always be on top in F1, football or any race. You may experience a decrease in some periods. That's why I don't want to criticize Mercedes.

Pretty the Ferrari management has seen his potential and so they don't waste time in giving him an offer so he would not think of leaving the team,  pretty much Ferrari so far has managed to win the podium 3 times well I really think that is why Carlos Sainz was pretty much mad at Oscar Piastri because this is his shot at the Podium and his car just busted along the way, with a hole on its side, pretty much Carlos Sainz was really frustrated about what have happen he is seeing a chance for him and seeing the hole have surely reminded him of Piastri,

Well yes, but for that i also blame so much Ferrari, because when Mercedes was in his peak RedBull year to year make something to start to cut the gap or something.

There is surely ups and downs to certain team in the F1 and even though your favorite team was out of the limelight it doesn't mean you need to blame it on the other team that also wants to win the same limelight, this is everybody for themselves here,

Every team could make illegal parts just like what happened with RedBull When FIA spotted that on Max Verstappen's machine, they immediately pull him out of the 1st Practice, and penalties him for what happened everybody would certainly made mistake and they will surely hope that FIA will not notice what they have done,

[Volgastallion]

Yes, all the teams can have upside downs, but this time Ferrari down its so long, and also they are no a normal team, they ahve veto power, much more money than other teams, and plus their name, everyone and everybody wants to be a Ferari guy once in his lifetime, because they are the brand of the F1 no matter who said otherwise.

McClaren and Williams are in the same path, both cant recover they ussual placement on the grid, but they are one step behind Ferrari in terms of being the number 1 team.

It does seem that way doesn't it?

Did you see the article above with the potential salary Leclerc is proposed to be receiving over a course of a 5 year extension on his contract with them?
That would make him the highest paid F1 driver in the history of the sport which Verstappen then Hamilton was at the time of publication.
They have the money and the name so they could and do get away with things it seems when it comes to FIA standards and regulation.
That is what makes them wonder why they are not on top of the table with all this much power as you put it.

It could certainly done with the potential upgrades, of the other teams that Ferrari has likely bolted back down their performance, but for me their performance is really inconsistent right now they can bolsted back in the podium position or they can also back down the position for sure the McClarren and Mercedes has already bolted up to the position of the Ferrari with their latest upgrades that is just what happen and it was really surprising but if Ferrari and the Drivers couldn't done something about it then this season will end for Ferrari only having 3 podium appearances,

It seems that Ferrari's better driver right now if Charles Leclerc, he has achieve 3 podiums now while Carlos Sainz is just frustrated about Oscar Piastri, for saying that Piastri has cost him to not make it into Podium, Surely Carlos Sainz needs  to do everything he can to show that he is the true goat for Ferrari, or he just needs to show that he can also do what Leclerc can do, well along with the teammate it is really unavoidable for teammate becoming envy and with this increase in salary and contract it will surely make Carlos Sainz very upset,
