Yessir, but mainly for the imaginative emoticons you used...

And yeah Merc's look a bit stronger. I think its a bit misleading with Ocon, Alonso, Sainz, and even Buttas having a poor Q2/3. Lando and McLaren seems to have really settled in, that car definitely looks better. Alonso was on a flying lap when he binned it.

What an absolute train wreck weekend for Crashed Martin. Vettel loses an engine and hits a wall, and Stroll pulls over for the Alfa without checking to see where Latifi was and takes them both out. Does anyone know the rules for the cost cap (point loss, loss of wind tunnel time)?? Aston and Williams are gonna break through it with the sheer volume of parts their going through.

The porpoising is so bad, it’s unsightly. It takes away from the joy of watching these cars. Watching the on-boards is even worse. Leclerc’s car was shaking so violently I found it mildly annoying watching him on the back straight.

I hope all you Michael Masi haters are happy...we've got great new race director(s) concerned with the really important issues now, like regulating driver's piercings on the grid.

I don’t see how the FIA enforcing safety regulations negatively impacts the ability to properly manage races. Surely the RD can have drivers follow the rules and make the right calls during the race.

Yeah I don't see how highlighting a rule that's been ignored lately automatically equals going to make bad decisions in the race


And also, JEEEESUS CHRIST SAINZ Brutal

Not a fan of the safety car rule addition. F1 already has dumb safety car rules, this just made it worse.

I think the track changes have made turn 3 the only overtaking spot on the whole track. Not a fan.

Any race that Max gets 0 points is a great race.
Was not a great race otherwise

I've found the 30 minute extended race highlights on F1TV the best way to watch, especially with a race like this one where very little happens overall

That was a great performance by Leclerc and Ferrari.

It would appear Ferrari is in a league of their own. I think RB might be fighting for best of the rest with Merc. Although it appears there’s a decent gap there too at the moment.

Suckers...found some time this morning...so here are the results after round 3.

Woob takes the week with 4 correct slot and 7/10. FurnaceFace gets second with 3 & 7.

Overall standings have Woob pulling away a bit in top spot and 59pts. FF solidifies second with 52. And Agulati in 3rd despite have the lowest total top 10 picks.

Speede5...your picks carried forward this week.

Spoiler!
