I don't think Strulovich Snr is going very far, he's been in and around F1 as a sponsor for 20 odd years and the whole point of the F1 team is to make his expensive slice of Aston Martin stay at least as expensive. How many TP's he has to sack before they finally boot Lance remains to be seen.
Has he set a date on when they plan to become a works team?
Seems a lot to take on when there's several companies looking to build engines for 2026.
Stroll was decent in 2020 but he's regressed massively since.
Still can't see how the qualifying thing was him, other than the fact that he has a rich father.
He was quite sheepish/didn't come out and immediately blame the other guy in the interviews which I took to be an admission of guilt.
Brilliant drive from Albon, chuffed for him and Williams.
Last week on reddit, someone compiled a montage of him just turning on in other drivers. A few were just incidents but it's remarkable to see his complete lack of awareness which he further showed this weekend, both in qualifying and the race. He's genuinely fucking awful.Originally Posted by Disco
It's a contrast when you see Alonso completely checking his mirrors on the first lap.
Did Albon come out on the lead lap? I was thinking they made a genius move to get him to pit as they went a lap down and therefore make it so no one could overtake him.
And yes, Strulovic is in need of punting out of the sport.
Yeah came out just ahead of Leclerc, Zhou was also on the lead lap in 11th. He was 3 tenths down as they came into T1 but Zhou was already complaining about his old hards so he had no chance of getting past Albon on the last lap.

Okay, so some people might've appreciated it. EDIT: Also his former employees call him a pilot. They're not pilots. They're drivers.His team has terminated his contract after he made the apparent gesture during the Italian national anthem, after twice thumping his chest.

That first one.
Whilst they're not all his fault, he really invites it leaving the door that open sometimes. I forgot about the Vettel one post-race.
Its like he invites you down his inside
It's like he was in an episode of Faking It and nobody told him it had finished.
After a couple of watches I was still wondering if they were all supposed to be his fault.Whilst they're not all his fault, he really invites it leaving the door that open sometimes. I forgot about the Vettel one post-race.
The stewards mostly sided with him, by the looks of it. Overtaking's on the guy behind the get it done, even if he's not watching his mirrors and fixated on the apex.
In short, shut up your whinging on the radio.
I'm eagerly awaiting a day when it just brake checks the field.
Bring back the old days:
Yeah, maybe not. These cars bottom out enough without an Astra dragging them around on cold tyres.
Lotus Carlton
A Vectra I believe
At Imola too, what an odd choice.
Yeah, it's obviously not a Lotus, but I thought it would probably be a Carlton. Looked too early to be a Vectra.
The Renault Clio Williams was the best. FACT.
Wasn’t that era Vectra back when they had different names (Cavelier).
Yeah, class car. Still see a few of them tooling around from time to time.
Was a bit disappointed when I found out the Espace F1 was actually just an Espace chassis with Prost's Renault F1 engine bolted into the middle of it. It sounds great, but I always liked the idea that it was somehow an insanely suped up practical wagon.
How shit it was on Gran Turismo 2 ruined it for me.
I don't even remember it on that. I was probably too busy just ramming everyone out of existence with the Pikes Peak thing.
My dad had one in the 90’s. Absolute monster. I checked them out on AutoTrader a few months ago and they go for obscene money now. Think my dad sold his to a guy in the pub for a few grand.Lotus Carlton
Wet qualy after just a single hours practice mostly spent skittering around in the damp.
Can’t believe Lewis is burning a set of inters here. It’s dry.
Latifi
That Merc is horrible.
This is the worst qualifying I’ve ever sat through.
Comical stuff at times. Everyone having the same issue at Acque Minerale, tagging the white line. Williams seem to have somehow unfixed their braking issue too. Lando though.
Looks like we'll get Spa cancelled again if that's how they handle the wet stuff.
Looks like maybe the Mercs found something in FP3.
Also good insight from Ted. It seems the Mercedes have caused their own problems porpoising wise by having so much exposed unsupported floor, due to the naked sidepod design.
Hopefully another Red Bull Powertrains failure today.
Make it more stronger should be the solution but I suspect they're trying to do some clever floor flexing which only has to be slightly wrong for it to not work at all.
Safety car already
Fuck I hate these weekends and their stupid schedule.
Aye, I even hate practice being jumbled up.
Schumacher might finally get some points tomorrow.

Sprints are shit, the grid for the race is objectively worse than it was this morning.
Ye it's completely pointless from an actual racing perspective.
That was a pretty shit and pointless sprint for everyone below Mick. They all got stuck behind Vettel in a DRS train and could do nothing about it because there's no pit stops.
The DRS looks a bit too spicy too, the other issue with this format as I don't think it can be altered now.
Damn, forgot about the stupid sprint shit. I have yet to watch one. Judging from the comments, probably for the better.
I think I like the night races better.
