Vettel still struggling compared to Charles. He really doesnt like this car.

He's given up. He's just making up the numbers now and will retire at the end of the season.
If you are more fortunate than others, build a larger table not a taller fence.

I didn't know the captive wheel nuts were so slack in the wheel. Wow. It kept spinning after the wheel was removed. It even seemed like it is on a socket joint too? It slieded outward a bit and pivoted slightly downward.

I'm watching this Russian HD stream, smooth as a silk and and not missing a damn thing. Krofty be damned.

Leclerc's medium tyre showing a line of blisters on the rears after 19 laps. It's going to be a two stopper, no doubt.

As Button said in commentary, if you start thinking there's a car difference then you've lost the mental battle and you're lost.

I agree. I was just bringing into the discussion all the info. Vettel has hinted it.

Inpector Sebastian looking at the mess of leaking oil under his car.

Could be failed oil pump or hose or cooler. Engine seemed to shut it self down safely. No oil smoke. Looks like cool oil.

The onboard shows massive vibrations right after a loud thump though.

The thump I could understand but to suddenly develop a vibration too?

I think he was trying to figure out whether it was engine oil or transmission oil (with its distinctive smell). :wink:
