F1 has always had one or two dominant teams with one or two others knocking on the door. This year it is Ferrari and Mercedes with Red Bull close, but not quite there.

Was thinking Lance Stroll could finish in the top ten occasionally verses at the back of the field if he was in a pink car. Perez and Ocon finished 7 and 8 last race.

I think over time this is not good for the sport. If the most talented drivers can't get to the big leagues because less talented drivers get a seat do to their fathers being rich. Not good for any of the top tier series. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2strokemerc Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Former Ferrari and Fiat boss Sergio Marchionne has died after suffering complications from surgery. The 66-year-old executive, who oversaw the dramatic turn around in fortunes for the Fiat-Chrysler group (FCA) which effectively saved both car companies from bankruptcy, was also the chairman and CEO of Ferrari. He was replaced in all of his positions within the FCA empire earlier this week, after it was revealed he had suffered complications during shoulder surgery, and would not be able to return to work. Reports in Italy claimed he had slipped into a coma, and on Wednesday, it was confirmed he had died. https://drivetribe.com/p/ferrari-and-fiat-chief-sergio-marchionne-PKtuBr6kQFC0N6BASV4BNQ?iid=YRFTieBSRAimLHt0h7RjDQ&utm_campaign=formula1&utm_medium=fb&utm_source=organic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckf Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 I just checked the qualifying and it looks like the rain messed up some teams. Did the guys that went out early have the best times? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2strokemerc Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 (edited) I missed Q2 but in Q1 it started wet got dry then started raining again. The guys who were on slicks during the dry window did well. Ricciardo was last to go on slicks and almost didn't make it into Q2. Timing the weather is everything.

2strokemerc Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Hopefully the crybaby messes up the start again and the Ferraris go past him. He'll be whining all race long if he's not leading. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's so used to winning and now the Ferraris are faster so he's having trouble dealing with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
