Hey guys, can you quit it with the politics talk, please? Just talk about the Perez-Albon crash or something.

Track-side engineer.
No further information?
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

Why wouldn't it have been on merit? Do you ou think anyone on the dominant team in F1 hasn't earned their spot on merit?

That podium ceremony was hilarious. From fog machines blasting straight to the driver's faces, to those awesome trophy delivery bots. :D

The F2 was even funnier, the bots weren't controlled well and the drivers didn't know what in the world was going on or what to do.

Yeah, he had same kind of clash this time compared to last week... he just cant keep going on the outside at that corner. Is there any investigation going on? coz Perez lost 2 positions

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
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.
I think it is coincidence.. Sam Collins camera time was planned to increase for this year. Before Corona he was getting a lot of screen time with Buxton in winter testing. He is a bit green in front the camera, but knowlegable on the technical side.

Leclerc cancelled the race after 800 meters. Can understand the cancelling, levlerc is their man for the future. They went all in.

I wonder if anything was wrong with Albon's car. It's a given he isn't as fast as Verstappen, but I doubt he was that slow. That's a huge gap to his team mate.

There was no issue with the car, Horner confirmed during the race...he just said Albon was on different strategy , thats all

I believe Albon is consistently around .4-.5 seconds per lap slower then Verstappen and would give you an gap from around 30-40 seconds on a GP distance.
