    Christ alive... Poor old Lewis. Maybe they'll go for a pit lane start and totally overhaul the car to better suit tomorrow's race conditions like
    Red Bull did at Brazil? They might as well, absolutely nothing to lose.

    I really hope that Ferrari deliver a competent car next season - I can't imagine Lewis will be on the grid in 2028 if they have another absolute nightmare season...

    Given the gap between Lec & Ham there was clearly something not right
    with that car for those conditions, so, yup, the benefits of an overhaul
    could easily outweigh the risks.

    The fezzas have stored up enough karma I couldn't give a shit if they
    fail for another decade.

    Am I the only one who would have gone out in Q2 on inters? Stroll's late
    change clearly was pointless, but starting on them surely would have
    been optimal.

    Well, they didn't go for it in the end and started on the grid. He managed
    to get a point, doubt there's much more than that he could possibly have
    got whatever he did.

    Yup, I could probably give Ham DOTD for keeping his nose clean.
