    Having watched the laps, I'm sure the Merc should be nowhere near the Ferrari here. I'm sure the Ferrari (and its sister engines) should be annihilating them in sectors 1 and 3 with the funky trickster engine they have.

    I honestly think Ferrari could do better, namely with Verstappen.

    I think there's a chance they may already have done better.

    I've only seen Leclerc in terms of gutsy drives to 8th, but I think you may be right. His stint at Sauber has had something of the Alonsos at Minardi about it.

    He could just as easily be another Perez but he has looked very good at several places this year. In another era he'd have had his surprise podium by now.

    I mean, if Perez made that rumoured move to Ferrari, he could've turned into something. I think that's the problem with the current market. So many drivers are sewn up when they should probably be pushing for something more.

    Perez was always a one trick pony, he'd make a good lorry driver, or sportscar driver (same thing really), racing is not his strong point. He's lucky he's driven in the era where they've had to inject some vague unpredictability into the sport via shit tyres.

    Hulkenberg similarly unlucky that he's raced in an era in which his driving style reduces tyres to the stuff you find at the bottom of a Weetabix box. Leclerc looks well balanced to me, although it's early days.

    Pity Ricciardo has opted to commit career suicide really, but these things happen.

    Ricciardo will end up at the first good American team, he'd be fucking perfect for it.

    Vettel's goose is cooked I reckon. Verstappen absolutely murdered him into the S there and then an unforced error let Kimi through.

    Team radio - Verstappen

    Engineer: I don't know what to say.


    Verstappen: I know what to say. I hope I can't find him [Ocon] now in the paddock, because [rest of message bleeped out, so presumably contains monumental levels of swearing].

    Finally saw the incident. I'm struggling to think of a stupider backmarker moment in F1. And then Ocon gives it large on the radio like he had right of way.

    From todays Formula 3 in Macao. 17 year old Sophia Floersch.





    How the fuck did she survive that.

    The Sun reports four in emergency condition. There is absolutely no way the guy who saw it coming survives. He bends down and the fence collapses on to his head.

    That is terrifying. I've seen every crash in history (mostly in much more powerful cars) and none of them look as horrendous as that.

    The fact the car never disintegrated on impact makes it 'better' than an olden days smash.

    It's more the speed differential to what the cars around it are doing. She must have gone right through the back of someone more or less head on.

    Here it is not slowed down from the other side. The speed she hits the wall/stand makes me wonder how she wasn't broken into pieces.

    Eh, the car was pretty much intact. As Loubear says the disintegration ones are always going to be more horrific.

    Assuming it wasn't a brake failure, she's probably just hit a wheel/back wing and from there it's like an aeroplane taking off. See Webber in Valencia that time. He had some runway to use though.

    I'm talking about the actual visual of the crash, not the results. We don't all get our kicks from picking through mangled corpses.

    I would guess the initial accident took place before/during the braking zone, that would account for the difference in speed.

    Yeah looks like it. Unless she fell asleep at the wheel, the incident happened way before the corner.

    'Misconduct' covers a lot of shit, I wonder what he's been up to 'for an extended period of time' that's bad enough to get him arrested. Knowing the japanese he was late back from lunch two days in a row.

    As well as being chairman of Nissan, Mr Ghosn is also chairman and chief executive of Renault and chairman of Mitsubishi Motors.
    How is that possible? Are they not seen as direct competitors?

    There's very few out on their own now.

    Parent Company owns Brand

    BMW Group owns BMW, Mini, and Rolls-Royce.
    Daimler AG owns Mercedes-Benz and Smart.
    Fiat Chrysler Automobiles owns Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, Maserati, and Ram.
    Ford Motor Co. owns Ford and Lincoln.
    General Motors owns Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, and GMC.
    Honda Motor Co. owns Acura and Honda.
    Hyundai Motor Group owns Genesis, Hyundai, and Kia.
    Mazda Motor Corp. owns Mazda.
    Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance owns Infiniti, Mitsubishi, and Nissan.
    Subaru Corp. owns Subaru.
    Tata Motors owns Jaguar and Land Rover.
    Tesla owns Tesla.
    Toyota Motor Corp. owns Lexus and Toyota. And has a stake in Subaru.
    Volkswagen Group owns Audi, Bentley, Bugatti, Lamborghini, Porsche, and Volkswagen.
    Zhejiang Geely Holding Group (ZGH) owns Lotus, Polestar, and Volvo.

    https://www.consumerreports.org/cars...ch-car-brands/

    I don't see Vauxhall or Opel there but I think Vauxhall is Buick and Opel is now part of PSA (Peugeot Citroen).

    It's why people are able to buy Lamborghinis and not immediately catch fire whilst you still wouldn't go near a Maserati unless under heavy medication.

    Not sure who's got the worse deal, him agreeing to drive the unofficial brand of Mercedes tractors, or them hiring a half baked ageing Pole with an even worse hairline than me and a Beadle hand.

    What an odd move, I can only assume Ocon told them to get lost which tells you everything you need to know about Williams these days.
