Today's result puts the bottom 5 teams into a hardship for points. 5 teams at the front vying for points now, it seems. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

A fun enough race, the enthusiastic crowd adds to the atmosphere. Interesting early and decently tense at the end. I am heartened to see the Mac hold off the Merc, even though the Merc seemed to clearly have a big tire advantage. Mercs stink and Macs on the right track? I dunno but the Macs add a whole new element to the rest of the season. What has happened to the Stroll team? Set the controls for the heart of the Sun. | |||

Commentary mentioned that Silverstone wasn't ideal for the Aston chassis. Mercedes didn't look great in FP, but had great race pace. Ferrari had to Ferrari & put their drivers almost out of the points. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

Hungary is next and should suit the Aston. If not it's clear they are being out developed. Similar to the Williams but in reverse. They should fall back but if they end up even mid-pack there, they've really made some good progress. McLaren, Mercedes and Ferrari? Who knows, should be interesting. Each weekend it seems a different car get the advantage but with the field so close, that's to be expected. For those that think it's all the car, Perez puts things into perspective. Small (but key) things throughout the weekend can quickly add up. Or down in his case. Regardless, Adrian Newey should be the highest paid employee in the paddock. Their car is just fast everywhere. ___________________________ Avoid buying ChiCom/CCP products whenever possible. | |||

Definitely crazy that Max has finished 1 or 2 in every race so far. RBR has a massive points haul already, more than double MB in 2nd. Max is 99 points ahead of Perez in 2nd. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

Max would be 52 points up in the constructor championship if he was his own team too. That is just crazy considering there have only been ten races so far. | |||

That's a crazy way to look at it. Max could effectively take a 4 race vacation & still be leading the WDC The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

And boring. This is a boring season. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

With no fight at the front & seeming like less of a fight in the middle, it's less exciting for sure. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

Danny Ric in tire test today, seems like Christian showed up for this. I really wouldn't be surprised to see him in de Vries seat after break as is being widely speculated. Or sooner.... You only have integrity once. - imprezaguy02 | |||

I'm not sure what's boring other than the non-fight for first. Behind that it looks like a knife fight with nobody able to hold the position for long. ___________________________ Avoid buying ChiCom/CCP products whenever possible. | |||

I remember the rumor mill going a bit crazy, briefly, when he went for a seat fit at AT. Seems plausible.
The front of the midfield is still fun, guys at the back are just mired in fighting for the non-points spots & picking up all the debris/damage [I think Bottas has had more lap 1 damage from others, than anyone else this season] The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

Still just "sources" but that was fast! You only have integrity once. - imprezaguy02 | |||

Ricciardo just announced as DeVries replacement. He can put pressure on both Yuki and Perez if he performs well. ___________________________ Avoid buying ChiCom/CCP products whenever possible. | |||

We'll see if he's still got it. Expectation would have him at minimum outperforming Yuki, if not getting up in the mix at the lower points positions. If so, pressure will really be on for Perez, with RB being unique in having 4 seats to shuffle around & past instances of swapping RB Sr & Jr drivers. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

I get it, and it is true that action is good behind first, but I can't work up anywhere near as much interest in who wins second, third, or fourth. If Perez and Verstappen were actually racing, I could be interested, but Perez isn't competitive either. The fish is mute, expressionless.

This pic from testing today tells someone who knows nothing about F1 everything they need to know about Dan.  You only have integrity once. - imprezaguy02 | |||

Mr Smiley's back. Monaco 2017, about the only time to see him genuinely angry & without a smile. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

I am glad to see Danny Ric with a drive. He is unfailingly charming and cheerful. If he gets into the Red Bull at some point, maybe they'll let him take a run at Max at times. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||
