McLaren patronizes the Ferrari school of strategy.  They haven't quite mastered it but they're well on their way.

    Got a cool little something for you all. I acquired some old press photo slides of the 1976 USGP at Watkins Glen and went ahead and scanned them using my DSLR, and the results were fun. These were s

heh - immediately where my head went as well.  Iconic shot, right up there w/ Fred in the lawn chair and Kimi on the yacht.

Yeah I'd be shocked if there's not already a meme out there with Lewis walking past Alonso in the deckchair.

If Hamilton was looking at the next corner (as he should), Latifi would be in the blind spot... HOWEVER Hamilton knew Latifi was there. Hamilton just screwed up.

Yeah he admitted it, & Alonso said that was nice of him, too. The worst part for Lewis is that all he really had to do was hold that outside line and he would very likely have made the move stick on the upcoming lefthander.

I agree with everyone saying Hamilton recognized his screwup but to have zero discipline come out of that should, but won't, quiet the whining about how the stewards always favor other drivers. That was a very dangerous mistake that Hamilton got lucky only ruined his own race.

Alonso, Latifi...  Whatever.

One thing McLaren has sorted is their pit stops. Finally.
Gotta love them undercutting Danny with Lando. What a clown show. And Ferrari losing a spot with Leclerc.
Hamilton handled interview like champ. Didn’t let them even ask about Alonzo.
Yep. He owned his mistake and shut down the controversy she was trying to manufacture.

Well strategy is another thing entirely. I’m talking about the stop times.

I’m sure it’s been discussed here many times but does anyone in F1 have a more punchable face?

Honda, you dummies.

Well this would certainly be an interesting development. I wonder what happens to Danny if Gasly gets the Alpine seat? Seems like he’s be down to Williams or Haas in F1 at that point. 
 

 

Well, if F1 doesn't work out, I'd love to see him in Indy Car.

I saw someone the other day where Danny was saying he'd be willing to take a one-year sabatical to stay in F1 long term. At the time, that made me think maybe he knows there won't be a seat for him anywhere. The Gasly-Alpine rumor has really been picking up steam, and it makes sense because of the way Alpine seems to really prioritize having French drivers, as with extending Ocon way to early and painting themselves into a corner, leading to this mess. They're a trainwreck.

In other news, D'oh ...

Russell’s gonna pull a 2021 Carlos Sainz at this rate. 

His car was for sure leaking coolant or oil because one of the drivers that was behind him got sprayed with some kind of liquid when they showed their helmet cam.

I saw some fan site proposing that Fred sign a Kimoa hat for Lewis, and they each wear the other's hat throughout the weekend at the Dutch GP. 

I thought that was a great idea, and then they could probably sell those hats for a lot of money and donate the proceeds to the charities of their choice.

Say what you want about Lewis, but he seems to have taken large steps to get over himself. Cool gesture between two ultimate pros.

Yep. Lewis apologized for the incident. Alonso apologized for the venting. It's all good, and Alonso gets a new Mercedes hat that I'm sure Alpine will hate and AM will love.

Yup.  It was quite obviously venting in the moment, and Lewis earned it with a really boneheaded move.

But Fred has praised Lewis numerous times in the past, lauding him as one of the greatest F1 drivers of all time.  

He probably regrets the things he said over the open radio in the heat of battle, but I don't think any knowledgeable F1 fan is going to hold him accountable to the truth or falsehood of his statements.

Maybe. Who knows? But iirc they've excelled on very smooth tracks like this and haven't done so well on rougher tracks. They'll probably have a difficult weekend at COTA imho.

Much as I expected, stupidity and incompetence reign supreme at Alpine, leading to the Piastri/Alonso contract clown show. Wow.

not sure if rhetorical

but p1 is just testing parts and rank is meaningless

p2 is is refining tweaks and trying the configurations, and is reflective of bottom half vs top half

p3 starts to show relative team order

Unpopular, sprint weekends are more fun. They need some tweaks, but the offer more entertainment IMO than three practice sessions. 

Red Bull was very slow in P1 and P2.  Max was 3rd fastest in P3 when they finally figured the car out.

Man, Domenicali sure is towing the company line for the teams. The teams fighting against adding new teams like Andretti is such bullshit. It bears an uncanny resemblance to the blazer-wearing college football bowl game fatcats protecting their piece of pie by opposing a CFB playoff that would have made all of them a lot more money.
