George not mincing his words in the pen.
he was actually talking quite a lot, using many, many words.
Kimmi was one for not mincing words...

Why the saltiness against the Brits?
I did not sense any kind of bias. Lewis and George were the dark horses for the race, and were the only two of the top 6 cars that were doing stuff to spoil the party at the front.
The commentators have a duty to hype the race down to the last lap.

And no redbull is not shutting them up with results. Redbull is a British team. In fact redbull are expected to defend their championship this year.
I really don't see the need for the anti UK sentiment for such a good race today.
Because you're Brit. Crofty today literally said they're biased when there were 3 Brit's in the top 5.

Leclerc should not have pitted at the time he did for hards. Everyone knew the hards would be awful. He could have mirrored Hamilton's strategy and he would have won imo.
maybe, yes, but it would likely have meant dropping to 3rd or 4th first, then having to overtake them again on new tyres. I can understand why they didn't want to risk that on a track like Hungary.
It was reasonably easy to overtake. This year you can actually stay close to the car ahead in the last corner, which made the run to turn one with DRS a formality overtake. There were many overtakes all over the field. You have to read the race better than that if you are a strategist. Leclerc on softs would have made easy work of these guys. He even said he could have gone longer no problem and felt he had things under control in his interview.

Well, a very interesting race and very happy with the outcome. Redbull really on it with the strategy.

If I attempt to defend Ferrari here, I think they were just handed a race where they could only respond instead of dictate, and they have once more failed to respond.

They chose the wrong tire to start with, underestimating the cold temperatures. Then they were held back by the Mercedes, so they could never unleash their pace. Then Verstappen started the whole undercut thing and executed this very well, despite being dropped behind traffic.

Ferrari then were prioritizing track position over their preferred strategy and that sealed their race. They should have stuck to their strategy and extend the medium stints and build on the softs in the last stint. Would that have been enough to beat max? We'll never know, the cooler Temps certainly took a lot of pace from that Ferrari while the Mercs got faster in comparison.

Don't make me laugh. They could have made the opposite decision at every given point to what they actually did, and they would have finished in front. If they left Leclerc out the same way Hamilton stayed, he would have been at least where Hamilton finished.
Sainz basically did the same Hamilton did, was ahead before the stop, and still finished behind. So it could have been a slightly better result for Leclerc for sure, but it would have been bad as well, and people would scream "why didn't they go for hards".
Leclerc should not have pitted at the time he did for hards. Everyone knew the hards would be awful. He could have mirrored Hamilton's strategy and he would have won imo. Le'ts not talk about Sainz, as he was once again nowhere close to Leclerc's pace during the race. Just another open goal miss by Ferrari. It has been an embarrassing season for them on so many levels.
Leclerc would've lost track position to Verstappen, i'm not even sure he would lose to Russell, in the opening stint he kept up quite well with used mediums...

It's a British company staffed by Brits broadcast to brits, maybe they should include more Chinese coverage?

Ferrari top brass must terminate immediately Mattia Binotto, Mekies and Ignacio Rueda. Totally incompetant at the pitwall. Get personnel from Sauber or Haas . Binotto telling the media that the car was under performing and the strategy wasnt to blame. Is Binotto disillusioned ?

But it is broadcast in English. There may be other options, or maybe there is not enough interest, I don't know I never look.

Its also broadcast in a few other countries worldwide.

In the UK - we stuck with Sky Sports F1. We cant even get races live on F1TV if your based in the UK.

I have no problem with that, really. But, what I do have a problem is every weekend there are snide remarks, sometimes just an eyebrow raised by sometimes also a gut punch. There is no need for that. In fact, it zaps the fun out of it for me. You also see this back in the fanbase.

English of course. But we are tied with Sky F1, we literally have no other option - legally.

Is this really happening that you folks are fighting because you think Sky Uk F1 is "biased" against one of 2 british teams? At least you people give me stuff to laugh about.
