So the real question is do you think Herta could make the move? |

"There is a clear path to Herta joining F1 for the 2023 campaign, if he were offered a seat. Given the super license points structure when it comes to IndyCar, and the 32 points he has from 2019-21, he’d need to finish 3rd in the championship in 2022, giving him 20 more points and dropping his 7th-place finish in 2019 from the equation. Finishing 4th would only give him 8 points to replace those 4 and leave him at 36 points and short of the super license threshold." https://www.indystar.com/story/sport...am/6073655001/ Must also add that another IndyCar driver, McLaren's Pato O'Ward was deservedly given a F1 test by Zack Brown...he's another youngster with tremendous skills. |

Very funny meme, MK (and true).
Ferrari does seem to make some boneheaded calls sometimes, but the conditions today were incredibly tricky and caught more than one driver out during the last ten or so laps. Last edited by Chihuahua; 10-10-2021 at 08:12 PM.. |

Not buying that Hamilton pit call, I'd have left him out. If the title comes down to just a few points he lost it there.

I don't know what the big deal is with Ham moaning and complaining,even Wolff said in the after race interview he would have fell down the order more with the original tyres like Ocon was doing.It's just exposing more a big weakness in him.
Having a secret out of the blue ''jet-mode' as well as the bendy front wing and plenum chamber trick on the straights needs to be investigated by FIA just like Ferrari were in 2019. https://www.gpblog.com/en/news/96143...less-stop.html |

It was very tricky and I was watching the telemetry to see if they would reach the crossover point to slicks. This is, what I imagine, HAM was waiting for. It would have been a masterstroke had it worked. Looking at BOTs fastest lap time of 1:30.XX, had the race been 5 more laps, or started 30 minutes earlier, slicks would have been on. The crossover was at BOT fastest lap time.

Yep. Contrast this to VET in 2016 saying he wouldn't interfere with the battle between HAM and ROS.
HAM is now battling 4 drivers. How far F1 has fallen...

Debatable.
It was risk management vs going for it all. HAM wanted to go for it all and the pit wall intervened. It was the opposite of the previous race. Sometimes you nail it, sometimes you don't. All in all they scored more points in the WCC ($) and are only 6 points behind in the WDC. HAM came from 11th to finish 5th after some VERY tough battles in the midfield against everything RBR could throw against him in that race. He showed his quality. Had the race started 30 minutes earlier or lasted 5 more laps, HAMs aggression would have paid off. As it sits he scored 10 WDC points and is only 6 points behind going to a track that should favor the low rake design of Mercedes and Aston Martin and the extra power of the PU should also help McLaren. Let it unfold! Cheers-mk

In regards to Marko's remark that Alonso was going to help Verstappen, that simply is not true. He raced Ham at Hungary hard and he raced and overtook Max at Sochi before the rain came. He is racing hard for himself and the team, as every driver should.

Lando (lap 10) and Stroll (lap 9) slowest lap of the race (excluding pit in and out laps) was the lap Hammy gained the position on them. All of a sudden both driver dropped a 1 second off their current pace, which they both regained the very next lap. Data doesn’t lie, nor does Yuki. Rain was the great equalizer here, Lewis expected a runaway win with the massive acceleration advantage (150-300 km/h) and he may have already crafted a storyline and winning speech (to match Max’s Sochi). His frustration of driving a dominate car behind the mid pack resonated with each radio call and in some of his overtake moves on Checo. Give a listen to the radio when hammy pitted, his breathing seems very labored. Difficult conditions for race day, but he sounded completed out of breath. Here is Ocon’s front tire, not great.

Newey is back after several (weeks recovering from a significant biking accident), he needs to get to work, or pray for rain.
