The late Andrea de Cesaris may no longer be the only driver to rack up over 200 starts without a win this time next year.

The only saving grace is Hulk won't surpass De Cesaris' record next year.

So you are saying that the Hulk will score his maiden win!

IceG

Ok then... What was most "infinitely improbable" was the fact there was no VSC or SC during the entire race. And I think there was only one yellow flag incident with Schumacher vs. Latifi. To my recollection that is the only time that has happened this season - please correct me if I am wr...

Nothing infinitely umprobable

IceG

Nothing of note

Abu Dhabi F1 GP: Just realised that if Leclerc and Perez do not score points, and Russell wins with the fastest lap he gets 2nd in the WDC! Also, every position from 2 to 9 in the WCC could change as a result of this race: (Ferrari vs Mercedes, Alpine vs. McLaren, Alfa Romeo vs. Aston Martin and Ha...

IceG

Covering both sprint and race... Why is everyone so down on Danny? He misjudged a braking point on the first lap and lightly touched KMag - like so many other drivers. Everything after that was just fate. (3) Leclerc for demanding to be let through when Sainz was on for a podium - just rude (2) Vest...

IceG

Seems we are doing the sprint and the race so...

(1) KMag as the outstanding IIDOT2Rs

(2) Alpine for doing so badly in the sprint then so well in the race

IceG

(1) Ferrari - why did they decide to miss out on this race?

(2) The race was pretty boring for a hyperfast street circuit with no surface grip.

IceG

Daniel Ricciardo - for making the long medium, soft end tyre strategy work so outstandingly well. He should be snapped up by Williams and the team should be renamed Red Bull Rejects!

And the Mariachi theme was pretty good...

Wrist slapped:

"Red Bull: F1 team receive $7m fine & 10% aero research reduction"

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/63430407

IceG

1= Alonso for getting into the points after that.

1= Vettel for getting into the points after that.

IceG

Stroll's move was late and potentially disasterous.

Everything else was meh and not really deserving of comment.

Rather weak attempt to convince the septics that F1 = Indycar so increasing the interest in F1 in the US?

IceG

My first thought was about whether this brings Porsche back into the game?

IceG

That team principal's press conference was brutal. Christian Horner "We have done nothing wrong. The FIA should have put more resources into the audit. The rules are so complicated. Zak called me a cheat. Boo, hoo, it is so unfair". Zak Brown "Cheating is bad. I did not call anyone a ...

Nine days since the announcement about the breaches and no sign yet of any consequences.

There are going to be a couple of team principles being asked a lot of embarrassing questions this weekend. Will be interesting to see how they stonewall and delay.

Perhaps the FIA could maybe do their job too?

IceG

I scored 12 when I thought I had scored 1.

So that puts me on a par with the FIA for understanding how the points system works

IceG

So a 5% over-spend is a minor breach. Does that mean only being able to provide 0.95 litres of fuel for testing is a minor breach? Or the plank being worn so it is 0.5mm below the limit - is that a minor breach? Or perhaps a wing gap being 0.3mm more than it should be - another minor breach? Or perh...

IceG

The huge, heavy, pointy, spiky lump of solid metal that some genius decided was a great idea to park on the track.

I know we are a family-friendly site so will not express my opinion in native Anglo-Saxon terms but I believe our heritage phrase is "What the bathplug?"

IceG

Latifi for achieving the infinitely improbable at last.

IceG

Sky F1 reported this morning that these moves are confirmed:

(1) Gasly is going to Alpine for 2023

(2) De Vries is going to Alpha Tauri for 2023

So, after the musical chairs, Ricciardo has no drive

and the Williams team has an empty seat...

So: https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/fia-delays-release-of-cost-cap-certificates-until-monday/10379852/ If the certificates were issued/denied today that would distract from the whole wekend and could put any transgressors in the hot seat during an active F1 weekend.

(1) So happy to say Dani Ric

(2) Aston Martin

with an honourable mention to young Mick Schumacher for showing a lot of grit and determination

IceG

Not going to criticise any F1 driver who makes a mistake on a street track in the wet so...

(1) Alpine - two engine failures is not good

(2) Nothing else really

IceG

The benchmark penalty must be that applied to McLaren in 2007: $100million fine, loss of all points, and exclusion from the championship. Whilst there was a lots of sound and fury around that incident, and there were other teams involved, there was little evidence that it significantly contributed t...

IceG

I wonder if Porsche's sudden change of direction was informed by the cost cap speculation? If a team were heavily penalised for a significant breach of the cost regulations it would have a material impact of their competitiveness over the coming years, the team's material value, and the kind of repu...

"Rossi believes it does not matter who is in the car; the team just need to do a better job of building one."

So there is a chance for Latifi at Alpine then?

IceG

Not unexpectedly Latifi will no longer be the automatic choice for Last Place

https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/lati ... /10373209/

IceG

Just got round to watching the race. Missed it live because I was near Monza doing something else. Some observations: Latifi just seems to be have lost all motivation. Seems he know he is out at the end of the season (or sooner) and is not trying, unlike... Mick Schumacher is obviously keen to retai...
