I don't actually mind the race ending behind the safety car. it's shit but it's not artificial.

Following surgery, Albon suffered  post-operative complications. He was transferred to intensive care. He made progress overnight and was able to be removed from mechanical ventilation yesterday. He's been transferred to a general ward and is expected to return home tomorrow.

[bradders1011]

Thank goodness he's OK, panicked when I saw the headline.

Surely that's NdV racing in Singapore.

How it should (always) be.

Quite right to panic ….. a very very serious situation for him….

Should make a very speedy recovery though

I have no idea how Crofty and Will Buxton have careers in F1 mdeia. Baffling.

The Martin Tyler conundrum.

[Linudden]

Yeah appendictis is scary stuff. Hopefully he's back to full fitness soon enough!

Personally I think a red flag with a guaranteed restart for at least two laps with a rolling start is the way to go. If a safety car enters on the penultimate lap or later you finish the race under yellow. Since you're allowed to change tyres under a red you can at the very least have a scrubbed set of softs available for that sprint.

I'm completely against the standing start after red flag thing altogether either way, that's artificial nonsense. There should only be one race start, anything else is a restart and that's single-file and rolling.

Hadn't seen the original news (missed the race, so was avoiding the news until watching it just now), but I'm pleased to hear he's on the mend. Scary complication.

A moment of appreciation for Jost Capito here - what a sound bloke he seems. Always enjoy his cheerful demeanor in interviews - he's a breath of fresh air.

De Vries showed only further that Latifi is out of his depth

Shame about the end of the race, they clearly had a lot of miscommunication and taking hours to decide the grid

Doesnt look good for sport really

The Silverstone ticketing system is a joke, been in the 'waiting room' for over five hours now. When I pressed to buy the tickets they were £280 but they're constantly increasing and now looks like they've sold out.

Such a shame as it's my boy's 16th in July and I wanted to get this for him.

I saw croft mention a few things on twitter yesterday and it sounded like a complete shitshow.

and "dynamic pricing" can get right in the fucking bin as well.

I've seen so many people complaining on social media. They started selling the tickets yesterday but had to shut it down as the site kept crashing.

Yuki Tsunoda retained by AlphaTauri for next season.

I presume that's because they're expecting Gasly to move to Alpine so wanted some continuity in the driver line up.

Norris admits MCL36 is 'unsuited' to his driving style, but eyes long-term success with McLaren



seems like they've designed a car that doesn't suit either of their drivers. pretty special.

Latifi will leave Williams at the end of the season

[voodoo ray]

About bloody time too

The greatest wingman Max will ever have

He's not going to get much of a career retrospective with any TV company.

I would worry if it actually took that. though I guess that might have been the "excuse" they needed

well pretty much all their on-car sponsorship did seem to come from him.

[Dave McCoy]

Latifi might have been the most influential driver of the last 3 years. Just for all the wrong reasons.

[paulrazor]

well pretty much all their on-car sponsorship did seem to come from him.

well I'll give him credit for that.

I'd rather Williams hired him for three years then went to the wall.

There is a rumor going around in the paddock that 2 teams breached the budget cap last season. It is said to be Red Bull and Aston Martin. The FIA is supposed to make a statement in due course.

Be interesting to see what the punishment will be if true...

Fine of £3.20

[paulrazor]

Aston Martin all points deducted, 100m fine, start next season on minus 80 points plus both cars must start from pit lane in every race

Red Bull, 2 place grid penalty suspended for one race

[El Lobo]

As if the poor chap needed any more asterisks next to his first title

Is it bad that I was scrolling from the bottom up so saw this without context and my first thought was 'Yeah that makes sense for the FIA'

If teams have spent more than the budget cap they need to be disqualified if the sport wants to hold onto the small integrity it has left.
