Oh it is I agree. Then put an all time great in it.

True, all F1 fans wish is that put an upcoming great into the other car.

But Lando is contracted to McLaren...

And leclerc & Sainz contracted at Ferrari next year...

Funny one

And with their engine supplier it will never happen. (will it )

I am confused about GRO starting from the pitlane. Usually, it is reported as "the team decided to start from the pitlane so that they can work on the car." Today I read/heard two separate reports that said something like "GRO has to start from the pitlane because the team broke parc ferme rules". Were the circumstances different here than in previous cases?

Ooooh. Black girl track side engineer. . Progress. The program is working!! Hehe

but the sudden appearance of black counterparts to usual hosts for every TV section is borderline a mockery... It makes me cringe because it's done purely to save face. comes across as almost mocking somehow?

What are you talking about? I haven't seen any "black" hosts on sky F1 at all

Track-side engineer.

The team wanted/needed to work on the car and thereby braking the parc ferme rules which meant they had to start from the pit lane.

Wonder what Perez could have done if he wouldn't have been so much out of position. He dragged the soft tyres for so long and created opportunities for himself, only to be destroyed by Albon.

To be frank. I think any decent human being is all for equal rights, but the sudden appearance of black counterparts to usual hosts for every TV section is borderline a mockery... It makes me cringe because it's done purely to save face. comes across as almost mocking somehow?

Yes. That is "white guilt." It is not literally a feeling of guilt. Maybe a feeling a need to self vindicate. Basically over compensating gestures to show empathy. It's nothing new.

Seriously? The sudden jump in screen time of Sam Collins who now analyses the races after the fact, Will Buxton is now joined by another guy (I must apologise, his name escapes me), it's all horribly obvious and just feels pretty grossly forced.

PER definitely needs to improve his wet weather driving, he could have had a 4th today if he equaled STR in qually

sigh... I shouldn't expect any better

Track-side engineer.

She is Staphanie Travers from Zimbabwe I just found out. That she got the job on merit is encouraging. AND it was all accomplished last year before anyone took my joke seriously! But very impressive coming from such a poor country like Zimbabwe.

24 year-old Zimbabwean Stephanie Travers is the 2019 PETRONAS Trackside Fluid Engineer, beating over 7,000 applicants for the lucrative job. She will work with five-time F1 World Champion Lewis Hamilton, providing Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Motorsport, with a comprehensive suite of fluid support services during the 2019 season. #CoolestJob

Can somebody please post the link to podium ceremony. I was tired of watching another double Mercedes podium and switched off right way after the race, and I really would like to see the trophy delivery by robots
