Why do these pictures look like they're from a Jehovah witness brochure?

Uncanny illustration style to that from 'The Watchtower magazine'.

Max's thoughts on the weekend & track. Sounds like the drivers will be getting together again to discuss their unity for future situations.

In the end, the answer turned out to be just 'yes'. The fact that five of the twenty drivers actually disagreed with this turned out to be insufficient for an early departure from Saudi Arabia.

But the stocking does not seem finished, as is apparent from the words of Max Verstappen. "We have been together as drivers for a long time and in the end we decided to drive together, but I think we will discuss the situation here after the weekend. We have also agreed that with the team bosses."

Verstappen was shocked by his colleague's collision, but he was not completely surprised either. "Certain points on this circuit are very dangerous. That was also the case last year in December when we raced here for the first time, but then it ended a few times."

"When you hit Mick you see how fast it goes. There are places, like the one where Mick crashed, where you hit the wall full throttle. That is very painful and extremely dangerous."

"Even the straights aren't quite straight. There are a lot of blind spots where visibility is limited. If it's all about high speeds and full throttle, keep it straight. I don't understand why the circuit is like this."

There's an interesting bit about the team bosses wanting to race because they could bring light onto the country, but take that for what it's worth.

Verstappen niet verbaasd over horrorcrash: 'Begrijp niet waarom het circuit zo is'

Ondanks de crash en de aanslag van vrijdag wordt er vanavond gewoon geracet in Saudi-Arabië. Teambazen wijzen nog altijd op de positieve invloed die de F1 kan hebben in dat land.

Domenicali is a grub

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Hopefully Sainz's issues are fixed.

Tsunoda nooooooooooooooo.

 

[Touring Mars]

Is that a 1992 Ferrari and a 1999 Stewart about to into the world's bendiest DRS zone? You've even got the guy at the bottom pointing out the anachronistic Ferrari.

He's explaining to E.T. what an F1 race is.

 

[Blitz24]

Tsunoda likely the 2nd driver out of the race before it even begins.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Tost just said Yuki will not race....

 

[Sum1s2pid]

I keep forgetting Albon's back. C'mon goooooo! 😅

 

[Jezza819]

Alonso and Ocon going at it.

 

[PaMu1337]

Otmar is having flashbacks now

Surely this won't end well...

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Great battle between the Alpine's!

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Ouch, Perez got boned. 😮

 

[MUSC4EVER]

That's some bad luck for Perez.

 

[Grayfox]

Ferrari International Assistance working their magic once again.

 

[Veinz]

That was kind of a weird crash.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Hamilton up to 7th but hasn't pitted.

 

[PaMu1337]

That was kind of a weird crash.

Looked like a small bit of oversteer, which he corrected as if it was a lot of oversteer. Just seemed like a massive overcorrection

PD MUST FIX THE TYRE MODEL!!!!

 

[Haverstaken]

Latifi loves a wall.

Bad luck for Perez.

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

Latifi's going to (literally) have no car to drive at the rate he's going.

 

[Dennisch]

Cold tyres, let's go!

 

[PaMu1337]

Sainz was clearly in front on the SC line. Perez needs to give it up

 

[Dennisch]

So great to see a Haas being faster than a Mercedes. Time and money well spent for team Haas.

 

[PaMu1337]

"Penalty not served" haven't seen that one before

 

[Touring Mars]

This race is something of a whinge-fest...

 

[Blitz24]

Zhou gets another penalty for not serving the first penalty.

 

[PaMu1337]

"Penalty not served" haven't seen that one before

Ah, served it under SC. That's amateur hour right there

 

[IforceV8]

RIC racing HAM and MAG for the final points spot.

 

[Blitz24]

Alonso has no power.
Ricciardo has no power and that likely will be a safety car.

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Nooooooooooo, Alonso and Ricciardo. 😦

edit: Ouch, and Bottas? With a blocked pit entry...
