gotta love statistics.. Kimi is the better driver this year..
And it seems like he found his mojo for few races now and clearly last race. If it wasn't for Ferrari's blunder he would've out-qualified Vettel quite easily too
EDIT: just going through some statistics.. Ferrari is the only team that scored points in every race.. (I hope I don't jinx them)
Someone should have a talk with him. He's completely broken and I don't know if he isn't putting himself and others in danger by driving in this state.
Tough world the motorsport, they chew you up and spit your bones if you don't have a tough skin.

We tend to forget that it's a job and those drivers are employees. And at his age there's a lot of pride and emotions involved, he should've had a mentor throughout the whole thing that happened to him, whether he caused it or not, but probably he knows more or less that he's gone and he's thinking of his future. From a hero to zero and he didn't get enough time to secure his future (financially)
I'm 34 and I've gone through shit at work, and believe me it's not an easy thing to deal with while I'm just sitting behind a desk, he needs to go out and put his life in danger while hating his job..
I agree with you, in this state of mind he could be really dangerous
Poor kid
Don't worry, they are working full force on 2017 and 2018 cars. And probably already on that for 2024

What is is about Ferrari that makes you want them to be a top-2 team?
Probably that it doen't matter where they are as long as they arent p1.
It's all relative. Being second best when the best team obliterates everyone is just a consolation prize. Being third when everything's close and several teams are capable of winning (e.g. 2010, 2012) can still get you closer to the top.

Wow, phenomenal GP2/3 races. If only F1 was that exciting throughout the race and final laps.
Ferrari of the 80s: 0 championships
Ferrari of the 90s: 0 championships
Ferrari of the Schumachers: 6 championships
Ferrari of the 10s: 0 championships
Ferrari returning to their pre-Schumacher mediocrity.
Ferrari of the 80s: 0 championships
Ferrari of the 90s: 0 championships

Red Bull establishing itself as the second-fastest team at the same time does not help.

I am going to make it through this year if it kills me
I enjoy Vettel being annoyed at back markers.

Monza is going to be fucking depressing. 
Gasly DQ'd from the race on safety grounds for having an empty fire extinguisher. Those watching will recall it going off during the race. Fucking hell. I have no idea what the precedent is for this, but exclusion seems awfully harsh.

It's super competitive and there's only a few top teams. You got to make the most of opportunities or get passed by.
Redbull threw him under the bus for Max, but Kyvat has had a bad attitude since. Maybe he can find a seat in Indycar or Japan.

Gutted for Gasly. Such a shame after his tremendous recovery drive.

Vettel drives an Ambulance - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHTXYbtXx44

How on earth did he end up quicker?
He was quicker against the ambulance driver driving the ambulance truck. Not against the Ferrari.

Competition wasn't fair. Vettel is used to drive slow trucks.
He's been practising complaining about people not getting out of the way in the last few races so an ambulance career sounds about right.

I get the feeling we're going to be in for another boring race.
Fairly sure this was the plot of a NAMCO PS2 game.
The GP2 sprint race is on right now if you want to watch some entertaining racing.

Guess who's doing the podium interviews today:
I suspect we'll get a fair bit. The main motivation for scrapping the restrictions was to benefit the viewers. But yeah I was also under the impression that all of it could be broadcast before, I had no idea they had a 'privacy button'. Glad that's gone.
Guess who's doing the podium interviews today:
Fun fact: He was voted the tv moderator with the worst fashion sense - by his own tv network.
Im a bit behind on news and was just catching up but that alonso quote that vettel won the 2012 title passing under yellow flags was a stinger lol, also that he made the right choice leaving ferrari, im not a ferrari fan myself but it kinda sucks seeing such a legend team struggle like that, i would love to see ricciardo win a title with redbull before he moves to another team
I'm sure most fans would prefer multiple teams/drivers to get a shot at a world title instead of ... this.
Remember those times when we had 6 different champions in 7 years from 2004-2010?
