If you're the design house that has been watching NASCAR and IndyCar coverage for longer than F1, it now looks 'consistent', i.e. bad.
Ocon picked up two penalty points for tagging Mick yesterday.
I seem to recall Lewis using a similar tactic but in attack in that Brazil race last year. Get the opponent to defend air at the turn 1 esses, to get the better exit for the back straight DRS pass.Call yourself a fan if you don't watch it live OP? ;-)
This nugget was fun to read, and says a lot about Charles' big-brain thinking. He knew Max would bomb-into the first corner so the key element was to think about the next DRS zone and repass him there. And it worked. Not just once, but twice.
'Max is aggressive, but so am I' - How Leclerc made his point - The Race
An epic fight for the win in Formula 1’s Bahrain Grand Prix did not need to turn sour for Charles Leclerc to send a message to Max Verstappenthe-race.com
He definitely would not have been better off sticking with Red Bull. He was never going to be a WDC at Red Bull, Baku 2018 showed that it didn't matter if Daniel was quicker in a race, that was Max's team. His only option was to go somewhere else.
I shall be attempting to keep things as neutral as I can, unless that becomes a clear trend 😂
Ah no it was never in OT Proper. I still have my FootyEra hat on and we've not been welcome in OT for about a decade 😂
Ah, that's why I never noticed it until now. Thanks for hitting me up!
Thanks! Just added this and missed apex to my feed

Beyond the grid does great interviews with people in F1 past and present. WTF1 are on insta & twitter.
I follow Tami (@ Vetteleclerc) on Twitter. She's surely pro Ferrari as you can imagine, but it must be someone nice to follow even if you're not a Ferrari fan. Also, she translates articles from trustworthy sources from Italy and Germany. If you check her profile now it's all celebrations from yesterday though lol
Yeah. Lewis was also asked about social media etc talking about "karma"
Merc likely to get pumped. All high speed corners. Less bumpy will mean they can ride a fraction lower but I doubt it will be enough.

Apparently Motorsport.com reported that it wasn't a standard part that failed. Very odd that it did both RBs in over the space of a few laps though. I only watched the HLs but did Checo report any of the same other issues Max did or did his car just blue screen mid corner out of nowhere?Rumours circulating that it's not the standard part which failed for RBR.
Reddit - Dive into anything
Not entirely surprising given that only RB powertrain cars failed but still.
I don't think Binotto will wade in like Toto does so it'll likely remain more civil from the top. Though I don't really recall massive moments between Lewis and Max last season out of the car or even really in interviews. They might not have been as friendly, but Max and Charles are literally friends. It'll all depend on how close the fight is. If they are competing tooth and nail then teeth and nails are going to get used in the fight if it'll help. Stopping that is very very difficult. It'll help a bit that they won't ever get told they have to move over for the other but they are absolutely going to come together on track more than once if it really is them both going 23 rounds together.
Checo started reporting issues around lap 56 or 57. Just "losing power", he didn't have the steering issue Verstappen had.
I know, post I responded to asked if Checo had similar issues to Verstappen.
