Formula One 2019

If they take the win off Verstappen for that overtake...this "sport" is even more dead in the water than it already was.

[Chris2K]

The race finished over two hours ago and still nobody knows the results, at least not publicly.

Someone on Twitter made a valid point, which is that if this was a football cup final and the winning team had lifted the trophy they probably still wouldn't be evaluating a VAR decision two hours later.

They're waiting until they're out of Austria before making a ruling, so they can't be hanged by thousands of angry Dutch and Austrian fans... I guess?

No further action, racing indicent

It was definitely a rough pass, but it wasn't exactly out of line.

[Lineker]

Unbelievable race; what a performance from Max. Makes up for the dross the week before!

[Schlitzbrille]

Oh no. Stop. Don't.






 

Spoiler

 

[Lineker]

They've been talking about that idea for years. It'll only ever happen in addition to Silverstone, not instead of.

[Katsuya]

So there’s a rumour that Vettel is considering retiring at the end of the year for his family, and that somehow Renault agreed to put a clause in to Ricciardo’s contract that he’s allowed to speak to Ferrari or Mercedes without it being a breach of contract. And that, reportedly, he’s looking likely for the Ferrari seat if Vettel does leave.

 

Also; sounds like Merc are giving up on Ocon, and Marko says Gasly has until the summer break to improve (and then it’s probably Kvyat in the car after that)

[EddieG]

Apparently Max has a similar clause in his deal, if the car doesn't improve greatly before the Hungarian GP,  he can move freely.

Quote

The future of the British Grand Prix has been secured for the next five years with a new agreement between Formula 1 and Silverstone.

This weekend's event was due to be the last after Silverstone ended its contract because it was too expensive.

But after two years of negotiations, Silverstone and F1 bosses signed a new deal until 2024 in London on Tuesday.

F1 chairman Chase Carey described the race at Silverstone as "an integral part" of the future of the sport.

Amazing news!

[Katsuya]

In other news, Rich Energy have pulled out of their sponsorship deal with Haas, because Rich Energy is run by a deranged lunatic and is probably just his bathwater.

[Chris2K]

This is their statement, I am not even joking.

 

 

To paraphrase someone involved in this, what a bunch of fucking clowns.

[Adam]

That's properly embarrassing.

[Katsuya]

So it gets weirder.

Rich Energy investors have fired the crazy CEO, but it seems that he's the one running the Twitter (no surprise) and they can't actually get access to it, and he posted that tweet in retaliation to them firing him. Rich say they are staying with Haas. But there's also rumours they haven't paid Haas, and that also they haven't paid Whyte Bikes the money they owe from the court case, so who knows.

Oh, and to figure out what's wrong with the car, Haas have reverted Grosjean's to the spec he used in Australia.

[Lineker]

Grosjean just spun and lost his front wing... within the confines of the pit lane exit.

[Katsuya]

Holy fuck Gasly was quickest in practice

[Lineker]

Bottas pinches pole from Hamilton but six thousandths of a second!

[Katsuya]

New favourite Eddie Jordan ridiculous rumour: Vettel & Hamilton are apparently going to swap teams.

[Katsuya]

Safety car and Merc have well and truly fucked Bottas here.
