They reduced the wing sizes to eliminate drag but that makes the car slightly more unstable in corners. RB didn't feel the need to do so, I guess they made the calc correct.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
Leclerc, Russell, Norris, Verstappen, Ricciardo, Gasly
Is the front 6 by my reckoning.
Is the front 6 by my reckoning.
Its more of a race setup for Max due to the penalties, prioritizing low tire deg here with a bit of more downforce.

I though the same, but that last lap was his personal best though.
That yellow is a thing of beauty. One thing that Ferrari got right.
Confusing as feck!As far as I understand it, yes.
If any of Hamilton, Perez and Sainz qualify behind him, within 5 places, his penalty is effectively reduced.
So all 3 qualify behind him and I think he'll end up 4th
It doesn't make sense, I think they should be applying the bigger penalties first, maybe someone got that wrong.
The fact they haven't even given the corrected grid yet shows Sky dont know, maybe the FIA cant even work it out
Year to me it makes sense to apply then bottom up rather than top down.It doesn't make sense, I think they should be applying the bigger penalties first, maybe someone got that wrong.
The fact they haven't even given the corrected grid yet shows Sky dont know, maybe the FIA cant even work it out
So what is the actual grid positions after penalties
Perez qualified 4th, has a 10 place penalty but I think he'll be starting 10th. So his penalty is almost halved. Seems absurd.
On the plus side De Vries starting 8th. That should be interesting.
What happened to Alonso?

Deleted lap time for his quickest lap. Went wide at the second Lesmo.
I get that the system is ridiculous when you have that many dropping but 5 places becoming 2 for Max while 10 becoming 6 for Perez doesn't exactly seem fair.
A Michael Masi addendum means that provisional grid is wrong, maybe.

His time was faster than Gas and Ric.
He cheated though, and so wasn't faster
Cheated or made a mistake of going wide.
Same thing. Should make an apology.
Weird he thinks he can just mess up and not apologise, no? Totally unaccountable.
Too much of this slowly creeping into society. I remember a time when people held themselves accountable for their actions, and quite rightly held their hands up when they made a mistake. I'm sure when he reflects on this, he will come out and issue a statement.
Too late. I'm already tweeting up a storm. Sign my change.org petition please. Enough of these "mistakes". He's got to go.
Russell should have a quiet race for a while once Max sails past. Will be looking forward to seeing if he can hold off Sainz and Perez later on, not expecting so on this track even if race pace is better.
Watching that Leclerc's pole, are we ignoring purpoising now when it's not affecting you-know-who?
Ferraris are bouncing like crazy on literally every track this season, and I am not sure we've read once Sainz and Leclerc complaining and making big deal out of it.

So apt.
TIL DeVries is actually 27 
From the F1 reddit
Isn't he supposed to be quite good? Won the Formula E last year and the F2 in 2019. I think I read a while ago that he's unlikely to make it in F1 either way, as he doesn't have a lot of financial muscle behind him. (And probably also isn't that great.)TIL DeVries is actually 27
I think Merc kept him on the shelf for far too long.
That makes much more sense than the nonsense circulating yesterday.
Uses to be common back 30 years ago to get into f1 around that age. However i agree i think he may have missed his f1 window, unless williams dump the hapless latifi. Many motorsports outside f1 where you can make a name for yourself and good career money.TIL DeVries is actually 27
Any predictions for Ferrari blunders?
turn up at the wrong track.
