Even given the Ferrari is the most superior car on the grid at the minute
That's a strange claim to make - the Red Bull is obviously the better overall race car even if the Ferrari is better in some limited situations. Nothing wrong with the Red Bull being the best car - that's the team's job, after all.
If you are more fortunate than others, build a larger table not a taller fence.

Yes lewis thats right, but i didn;t see Max saying to the crowd to stop booing lewis at the dutch GP (probably due to the silverstone incident). So much so merc hired security for all team members (lewis has his own bodyguard)

I don't think there is any shame in having the best car on the grid, reliably best even if not outright fastest.

Does anyone know why the pit team garages arent in order this time round? I always thought they went in WCC order from the previous season. It seems different to previous races
ISTR that Silverstone's pit lane is strange in that it's set down in to the ground and is deeper at one end than the other and thus some garages aren't very visible to the fans.

Ah, yes, here we are: https://adamcooperf1.com/2012/06/14/top ... ritish-gp/

There was a funny moment in Channel 4 presentation today. Eddie Jordan talking to Christian Horner saying there is only 1 car porpoising. C4 in the meantime showing at least 3 cars showing heavily porpoising including Ferrari 🤣 in background.
I recorded video on phone, not sure how to post it.

Don't see why they should. It's relatively cool and they seem to be much tougher than the old balloon-style tires.

#bestfansintheworld lol

To be clear - I don’t have an issue with people showing emotion and I support their right for expression and free speech. A professial driver on top of his game wouldnt be phased by something like this and as MV pointed out, it's part of the game.

The issue lies in the holier than thou attitude and hypocrism displayed. Can't "condemn all discrimination" and give people crap for not putting out statements against whatever hot topic, "silence is violence", etc.
And then turn around, discriminate against another guy and go "yeaahhh, oh well, in this case it's justified"

Just now watching F3 feature race and I think they should really do something with graphics to help viewers know who's who. In F2 thez should add driver numbers to the timing tower on the left (since numbers on cars are quite large and visible most of the time in the broadcast) or at least add colored stripe that is the same as the car driver is driving.

For example we have 3 Prema cars in top 5 at the moment with Leclerc and Bearman running Prema's standard colors, while Crawford is running Red Bull colors. And in timing tower they are all represented with red Prema logo.

It can get confusing for me, and I tend to watch F2 and F3 whenever I have time. Imagine how confusing it can be for someone who doesn't follow the sport regularly
