Boy, at this rate, not only is Ferrari throwing away a chance to win the championship, but probably 2nd in the WCC title as well to Mercedes.

And their nr1 driver

Where will he go?
McLaren?
Wonder if Ferrari will take Daniel if Leclerc wants to leave.

Mercedes when Hamilton retires and if they're okay with him going up against Russell. McLaren would be career suicide. But Leclerc doesn't strike me as the type to leave already, even in these circumstances.

And a 5-sec penalty for Zhou for causing a collision.

Ted was changing batteries in his pack.

They need to fire their team principal. That would solve a lot of problems.

Historically speaking, probably not. The team principal position has been a revolving door at Ferrari for at least the last decade, and the team still makes stupid mistakes consistently, despite producing cars that are capable of winning races and potentially championships (provided the car doesn't kill itself during the race).

Honestly, the incompetence shown by Ferrari this year is nothing new, but it hurts even more so because they can 100% win the championship this year on pure performance.

That would only worsen Ferrari’s problems.

 

[TumeK5]

Missed the start, and seeing LEC OUT ruined my day for good...

 

[Jimlaad43]

Great move Carlos!!!

 

[NotThePrez]

Anybody know what the blue Star of David logo on Sainz's Halo represents?

The Schumacher years cursed the Tifosi into believing thier team was good. They shall now suffer eternally.

It's for Estrella Galicia the beer sponsor I believe. They can't advertise it as a sponsor in France.

 

[andrea]

Disliked by Mrs Gasly.

 

[Skygrasper550]

Sainz has the same type of blister in his front right tire, just like what Leclerc had. Interesting.

 

[Jimlaad43]

Can the Sky team stop trying to make funny comments because they've all missed so far...

They are all competing to be Murray Walker. That's not a competition they can win.

 

[NotThePrez]

So now the question is going to be when exactly will Ferrari bring in Sainz? Considering the penalty and the length of the pit straight, I'd probably stop him within the next lap or so. Get some fresh rubber on to finish the race, and take advantage of the other teams either being on old tyres and/or losing time in the pits.

 

[Blitz24]

Lance Stroll to his team:
"Yes, yes, leave me alone."

I don't think he can take the Kimi route.

Yeah, when Ted was going on about Jawbreakers for 1 pound I was thinking since when does a jawbreaker not last as long as 10 lollipops?
You could get jawbreakers this big for 1 pound and these can last a day due to their multiple layers.

 

[PaMu1337]

Lance Stroll to his team:
"Yes, yes, leave me alone."

I don't think he can take the Kimi route.

There's a big difference between "I know what I'm doing" and "I don't care about what you have to say"

 

[Jimlaad43]

Silly from Magnussen and Latifi there

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

So now the question is going to be when exactly will Ferrari bring in Sainz?

Probably the last lap or two

 

[Jimlaad43]

Plan D for "D'oh we forgot we had two cars"

 

[TumeK5]

Silly from Magnussen and Latifi there

Magnussen thinking he had the SRNK button on his steering wheel

 

[andrea]

Plan N for Next Season™

 

[PaMu1337]

Not gonna help him, but that was one hell of a move

 

[Jimlaad43]

Incredible driving by Carlos there with chaos in his ears.

 

[NotThePrez]

Russell forces Perez off!

 

[Blitz24]

Carlos Sainz passes Perez and Ferrari decides THAT MOMENT is a good idea to tell Sainz to pit.

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Nice, Sainz. Ouch, George. I'm used to Perez's RB being wider.

edit: Ferrari and Sainz need to make up their minds. Pit. Stay out. Pit. Stay out. Gah!
