    I see Max has become popular in Mexico now he’s not making Perez look silly, but what do they have against Lando?

    I have thought for quite a long time now that the stewards should be the same group,of people for each race .

    With all the money available , employing them shouldn’t be an issue . Maybe finding a group of people to commit for 24vweekends a year may prove to be a problem ?

    Even if they change them each season , surely it’s got to lead to a more level playing field ?

    I had forgotten what Sportista said that it has to get passed to the stewards for them to look at !

    Why ?

    Even if they had a pool of say 50% more and just sort of randomly select the required number for each race just in case there is any bias. Consistence is the key but they also need the ability to readjust racing rules if they prove to be stupid.

    Did anyone catch the moment where David Croft had to ask whether or not you get DRS when lapping another car?

    He’s only been commentating for 13 years :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    On a similar note, whilst I don’t mind Karun, early in the race where all the investigations were queued up, I did miss Brundle’s willingness to give an informed opinion as to what we should expect the outcomes to be.

    Yeah Karuns a great guy and super knowledgable — but agree he could occasionally be more affirmative on the action. At least he commands the knowledge technically.

    We’re in a bit of a hole broadcast wise once MB hangs up the microphone.

    I view Martin a little like Murray .

    They can employ someone to takeover his job , but they’ll never replace him .

    Wasn’t shown on the main feed. Apparently they were given permission to go get the debris when the field had passed at the beginning of lap 2, when Lawson stopped that was rescinded, but for whatever reason they still ended up out there.
