    Taking 7th place (nearly 6th) after a pit lane start is a good effort from Lewis.

    Yep. Good strategy for once from Ferrari, and two good drives (though it was a rolling start, so he didn’t really start from the pit lane).

    Think I Tommed the Euros. Turned it on 15 mins ago and Spain score. May finish the Garden and come back after half time.

    Yeah I do understand it as there's been a couple of fatalities there in recent years but my comment was more of a general one using this as an example.

    It's right to be cautious but that still ultimately has to be balanced with the spectacle imo. It's a dangerous sport ultimately and these are the best in the world.

    After losing the first 5 legs of the World Matchplay Final, Luke Littler won the next 5 and is 4 legs away from winning another title.
    Averaging 106.70 per throw.
    Score is 14-11

    Should be an interesting test in Hungary for the new Ferrari - it’s one of Lewis’s favourite circuits, and Charles’ least favourite. But should suit the upgrade a bit more…

    The Ferrari is awful. No idea why they extended Vasseur.

    It’s not ‘awful’. It’s a tricky car with a small set-up window, but he was 0.3 slower than Leclerc, despite CLC making a slidey error (that cost at least another 0.2) He needs to do better tbh.

    Well it's nowhere near the standard of car they should be producing.

    It’s there or thereabouts the second quickest car. But yes, they want to be doing better, no doubt.

    They’ve extended Vasseurs contract because he is bloody good .

    I imagine he has told them it will take time to sort it all out , it’s not just the team at the track . Last time he had Ross brawn , Rory Byrne and MS , but Todt was the one ultimately responsible .

    I’m not saying Vasseur will be as successful, but at least he’s being backed .

    I think Ferrari just screwed this for Charles. Not enough delta to get Lando

    Leclerc must have some kind of issue, no pace at all suddenly.

    Not surprised. He’s been brilliant this weekend, but clearly Ferrari have done a Ferrari.
