Williams and AMR with the obvious but great call to swap to inters at the right time

Hope this race teaches them that running full wets clears the track quickly

They should review the FL point in shorter races. Leclerc can finish 2nd with FL and receive as many points as the race winner, as it stands.. which makes no sense

That is stupid.

The driver death was not weather related. It was a human decision and action which created the deadly situation.

The rain does not cause deaths directly.

And one death every 60years? There's been two in the modern at least, BOTH caused by large vehicles in a place they should not have been in.
I could give this back as it was an accident. F1 did send recovery vehicles on track for 64 years when there were racing cars on the track. With a yellow flag only! And nothing happened for 64 years! So sorry - what happened in 2014 was just bad luck.

And even if it was two in 64 years(what was the 2nd one please?) - i still prefer the second one.
Maria de villota, struck a vehicle on pit entry.
I was talking about F1...

Leclerc is getting caught by Perez here. His inters are ruined or just going through a huge graining phase

Max might be able to pull a pitstop gap for fresh inters

To be honest - they should stop this charade and say - we do not drive when its wet at all or take more risks again, like they used to do in the 90's and 00's. Thats the problem, not the cars.

Would they black and orange flag this? They've been trigger happy with them lately

No idea. Not really something you can fix. But it is part of the regs.

Same with front wings slightly breaking previously. Now if your fw is slightly broken it's a meatball this season
