For some context, there are 6 cases of Covid-19 in Monaco. There are fewer cases in the whole of Europe than any one of ~15 US states individually right now.
Most or all EU countries allow what Bottas and LeClerc are doing.

Make whatever you will of that.

Wow, very troubling stuff from Bottas and Leclerc. Personally I would arrest them both for attempted murder of 4000 people but surely everyone will agree that disqualifying them from last week's GP and a two-week race ban would be an extremely generous, slap-on-the-wrist compromise

lol so he was talking to Renault and they decided to go with a supremely toxic being that hasn't been in F1 for a couple years over Vettel.

But I guess Red Bull might be interested in him although I don't know why as both Verstappen and Albon are incredibly strong and good.

Maybe they'll put Vettel at Toro Rosso but even then Gasly has completely redeemed himself and Kvyat is pretty decent these days.

There is nowhere for Vettel to go except... in.... the .... bin.

Marco has already rubbished Vettel to RBR.
And, I'm not surprised. Albon has overtaken Hamilton twice in the last few races, and ergo equalled Vettel's career record, and Verstappen isn't going anywhere.

Kubica is a publicity stunt at worst and a charitable case at best. The dude doesnt belong in f1. The same with grossjean. There are still some really bad drivers in F1.

List of drivers that absolutely should not be in F1:

- Antonio Giovinazzi (He doesn't seem to be progressing or rising above aggressive mediocrity.)
- Sebastian Vettel (It's just embarrassing at this point.)
- Romain Grosjean (He went from extremely inconsistent from his debut and early years to now consistently inconsistent.)
- Lance Stroll (He's somehow evolved the very definition of 'only here because of money' to 'my dad literally owns the team' pay driver.)


Latifi is still a question mark as this is his debut and it's also been an obviously insane time to make your debut amidst a pandemic to judge.

Vettel's done. Whether he deserves it or not, Alonso still has a rabid fan base and plenty of "experts" who are happy to call him one of the GOATs. Vettel has neither, even with the 4 WDCs, so no one's gonna give him the sort of benefit of a doubt that got Alonso another go at Renault.

Alonso was still driving at top level even if his machinery was bad. Since 2017 Vettel has loving sucked and a top level driver would have won both 2017 and 2018 titles.

See that's the thing though I have played the game and those onboards do help, I can have the track map in my head just fine, but when I look at this



I have no idea where that is or how to orient myself, it's a completely different view of the track than you get from a first person perspective like with the onboards.

I think the idea of having the f1tv track map up in another window is my best bet so I'll probably start doing that.

I have thousands of hours playing various F1 games and other racing sims since the mid 90s. I know the layout of every track in just about every major series pretty well. That being said, I have no idea what turn this is in the screenshot. Honestly, Im not even sure what track it is. So yea, TV really doesn't give you a good idea what's going on sometimes.

My problem with vettel is that he is definitely 1/2 wdc material, but 4 seems a bit much for someone who is generally agreed to fail to live up to the "complete driver" ideal.

As a person he is ok, would like to see him in the C4 / sky commentary teams to offer some balance to the Lewis cock garbling. How ever much Lewis is clearly the goat, or will be soon, British commentary can get a bit sickening at times.

It's Austria T4, it's not like it wasn't the place where most of the action happened at the last race or anything. Also exactly how many downhill >90degree radius turns are there in F1 anyway? Acting like it's one of the nothing turns at Sochi or somewhere just makes it look like you're not even paying attention.

Just from the photo there that could be a multitude of tracks. Tv tends to flatten out corners as well, Interlagos in particular looks way flatter on tv than it really is.

Knowing the track and specific corners isn't suuuper important for watching. Action is action wherever it happens on track.
