    Liberty gets the race fees from promoters on the ground that it offers a full grid.
    I cannot see how the circuits down the calendar would accept a reduced field.
    Did you think about that ?

    Also, lapping backmarkers is part of racecraft.

    Probably the scariest job in F1 is front jack man.

    Especially front jack man for Stroll...

    Dismal. Ferrari haven't secured 6th place yet.

    Ferrari could be in 3rd place if they didn't have Vettel wasting that seat. He's costing them a big pile of money.

    Unluckiest man on the grid was Kimi! Decent chance he would have held onto P5 or so if he had pitted 2 laps later under VSC.

    After a promising start of the season, Stroll has checked out and want a holiday. The way he says "Cold brakes" instead of "I forget brakes cool down" says it all.

    I hope the Russell-fanfare can be toned down a bit since he has now shown to be closer to Grosjean than Verstappen.

    Norris been MIA for a few races now. Not a great look to be honest.

    Albon got sandwiched on the tightest circuit on the calendar. Quite impressive, but he was his own worst enemy again.

    Blue flags were brought in to deal with back markers; there aren't a real issue.

    With what other driver however? Unless they got Verstappen or Alonso in that other seat, I can't see it.

    There's no doubt in my mind any more that Vettel is getting no support any longer. In 2019 he and Leclerc where closely matched in quali at the least, now he's massively behind. That doesn't happen in a single season. Sorry. The car hasn't fundamentally changed (except for the neutered engine), so it's not that. I'm convinced it's no support and subsequently Vettel has also now given up on the team and all he's doing is collecting his pay check. Both sides have given up on each other.

    Senna would pass all back markers with ease without blue flags.

    This only denotes very poor judgement from the Ferrari management.
    I don't blame Vettel though ...
    He is yet another driver who will leave Maranello under a cloud.

    Yeah, Seb was leading and won a few races last year. Now hes consistently 5+ places behind.

    Just no way.

    While it might work

    It would be a different formula.

    Vettel could have been 5th without that lusy pitstop which costs him 10 seconds.
    Vetel could have been 5th without that lousy pitstop. Any comments or excuses for this from Binotto?

    By coincidence he has shares and a contract with the team just above in the standings...

    I’d honestly swap him for Kimi or even Gio at this point for the rest of the season. If not just for the conflict of interests also as gardening leave
