    Sounds like most, if not all teams have their Wind Tunnels switched over to 100% 2026 now, with parts in the pipeline for Austria and in some cases Silverstone. Next couple of weekends should therefore set the pattern for the remainder of the year, last chance for RedBull/Merc to get on terms with McLaren and make a fight of the WDC.

    Fire!
    It really was a stupid idea to make a skid block just so we could have the sparks of the 80's.

    The gap was enhanced by the yellows for Gasly ruining some laps, but that’s a huge margin over such a short lap. Norris has been really on it this weekend too. Ferrari upgrades look like they’ve made decent difference also.

    All promising for Mclaren and improvements for Ferrari, let's see how a converts tomorrow.

    Horner didn't sound convincing re Max's contract. And Horner faces the tribunal in January (I believe) which might dent his authority.

    A bit farcial that.


    Looks like Sainz might be out after that fire.

    yep, thought so, brakes on fire before the race started is not a good sign.

    That pit strategy says they decided no more racing after Piastri's lunge.

    Verstappen gets rammed off the track.

    Oh the irony.

    That is broken Britain for you.
    Redbull seem to be in a mess right now. Only one driver able to drive the car, maybe they should have kept hold of the Mexican.
    Maybe Verstappen should drive to the standard of his team mate, thereby triggering a rumoured contract clause allowing him to go elsewhere at the end of this year.

    I thought that whatever his release clause was , it had been met , unless there’s 2 parts ?

    Contracts can be broken anyway , I just thought in theory he was now locked in .
