A week and a half ago I had a heart attack (blocked artery, stent fitted, 6 weeks rest, will be ok if I do as I am told). Lewis's interview on the podium looked just like I did right before my attack.

Who was the guy interviewing Vettel about the stewards sanctioning him for wearing the shirt at the start? He was uncomfortable agreeing when Seb criticized the ridiculousness of the sanctions. Seemed like a lovely guy.

You Am I posted:Man that's a lovely DQ for Vettel, but as mentioned the fuel rule is pretty black and white it sounds like Aston Martin is going through the process to protest the DQ, A-M was saying there was 1.4l of fuel left in the car they just couldn't pull it out somehow. Where that falls on the "dog ate my homework" scale is up to you to decide. Myrddin_Emrys posted:A week and a half ago I had a heart attack (blocked artery, stent fitted, 6 weeks rest, will be ok if I do as I am told). Lewis's interview on the podium looked just like I did right before my attack. good lord, hope you're doing better now. rest up and follow doctor's orders. In addition to the comment about Lewis being out of drink in the car, he's wondering if he has been dealing with 'long COVID' symptoms considering his case last year: quote:“I had real big dizziness and everything got a bit blurry on the podium,” Hamilton explained when he later joined the press conference. “I’ve been fighting all year with staying healthy after what happened at the end of last year. It’s a battle.”

Here let me beat the fuel rule: put 1 liter of gas in a plastic bottle not even connected to your engine. Tell the lame rule makers that’s where you get the sample. Boom, no more fuel worries.

Sudden Loud Noise posted:Here let me beat the fuel rule: put 1 liter of gas in a plastic bottle not even connected to your engine. Tell the lame rule makers that’s where you get the sample. Boom, no more fuel worries. That's practically what they do. There is usually a trough in the bottom of the tank below the engine pickup designed to hold a bit over a litre. Even if the car runs out of gas on track, there is supposed to be a litre there no matter what. Probably Astons fuel fill/drain connection is on the side of the tank, not the bottom, and can't pickup all the way to the bottom of the trough.

alternatively Lewis almost killed himself getting past Alonso and Nico probably had a grin wider than Alonso's rear wing after the race and seeing Lewis looking more spent than a soldier's first paycheck

The glitch yesterday that piped pit lane commentary to the main feed on F1TV was actually better than the usual bullshit. Maybe combine those guys with Niko and Button and you might have some bearable commentary for once.

Yes but Max had a 32 point lead just over a couple of weeks ago, so this is quite a turnaround. Don't know if Mercedes have the pace or strategy (ha!) to keep this up, but it's a lot more interesting than one driver running away with it. Crashstappen should get a 10-place grid penalty for every Dutch fan that boos tho.

Importantly, it's the most salty championship since the year Rosberg lucked in to it and made Sir Lewis all grumpypants. There was the time Vettel intentionally drove it to Sir Lewis under the safety car but that was more tragic than salty.
