That was nice. I have nothing against Ferrari, but I openly root for Red Bull. This really helps them.
I feel bad for Carlos and Fred. No feeling of sorrow for Lulu. Russell 4th and Lulu 10 places back. In the same car.

Scott at Team Harco wrote: ↑Sun May 08, 2022 5:28 pm Good to see Russell beat Hammy, again. Would have been nice to see Bottas beat him too.Mercedes even made George concede the position when he passed Sir Whines a Lot the first time..... only for Toto's boy.
As Motorsport.com's exclusive photograph shows, Leclerc's incident appears to have been caused by a total failure of the front left brakes.
The image taken shortly before Leclerc spun shows a shattered brake disc on the floor after it had come loose from the front left caliper.
With no stopping power on the left front corner of the car, the brakes would have grabbed entirely on the right side, leaving Leclerc powerless as the car would have snapped instantly right.

Much as I’m not a fan, Hamilton drive a very strong race today. Looks like Mercedes have clawed their way back to being competitive every week. Definitely far more interesting with 3 competitive teams this year.

I just watch the YouTube highlights for all the coverage. I just don't have the patience to sit through one of those races, even though they are sprint races. Now, sit and watch Daytona 24 or something similar, I like that more because of the strategery and the diversity of the field.

And leave it to Ferrari to cock-up the pitstop/tire strategy. It probably cost LeClerc the win.I thought Monaco was a great race this year.... after all the delay.
Since the Cry Baby is now a non-factor, I don't get to rag on him much these days. But here goes.........I thought Ocon's 5 sec penalty for "causing a collision" with the Cry Baby was a bad call. Ocon turned into the corner and the Cry Baby's left front wing endplate hits Ocon's right rear tire. I just don't see that as Ocon turning into the CB and causing a collision. To me it looked like the CB trying to stick his nose where he didn't have a chance in hell to make a move. But typical of the CB; always complains and claims everything is someone else's fault.
Can't watch the 500 live. Blacked out here where I am in Indiana. Rebroadcast at 8:30 tonight.

I miss the days of real race car drivers competing in multiple formulas. AJ, Mario, Dan, Jimmy, those were some real men.True. Sadly, those days are long gone. There are so many races in each series, these days. Finding open weekends away from ones regular series is more rare.

Much worse than other wall-lined street courses such as Miami, Monaco, and not-yet-raced Vegas.As a layman fan, who is not a racer, I'm curious as to dislike for the Baku circuit. The main straight may be overly long, but at least it presents passing opportunities. So, what makes Baku so bad?
