    You and me both.

    Now get rid of the chicane at Paul Ricard down the straight.

    AND that new chicane down the RedBull Ring....dumb.

    Thankfully that chicane at the RBR is only for MotoGP and not for F1...really thankful because that would ruin one of the best corners for overtaking.

    Its the right call gather the points at fly away races. Its nip and tuck with redbull and then a massive gap

    Is Seb’s absence part of a team performance clause?

    Should be Ferrari territory, expecting a win for scuderia.

    If memory serves me right and I live by the coast, prawns are HUGE shrimp.....anywhere from $14.99 per pound to 16.99 per pound....so about 4 to 5 prawns roughly.

    No penalty points for both HAAS drivers! OK, seriously, I'll bet that no driver even thinks about penalty points or could tell you how many they have. And why does Joe have one?

    I had to look it up as well:
    Image Unavailable, Please Login

    I find it quite stupid that drivers get given penalty points for stuff like this...surely it should only be given for serious offenses?

    Wow, those RBR/AT boys sure have a lot of points! I have another question. Some drivers were racing in other series prior to this season, do their points carry over, or is this just F1 points?

    If Seb doesn't drive, I think he will retire. He doesn't need F1 anymore. Time to regroup and look at the future. I'd like to see at least a 1 and 3 for Ferrari at this race (Sainz, Perez, Leclerc). 1, 2 would be better (Sainz, Leclerc, Perez) . 2, 3 (Perez Sainz Leclerc) at the least. There are two championships up for grabs and the bigger the leads in these early races, the better that pad for fighting back later in the season.

    Seb must be thrilled with the prospect? Oh well, collect another paycheck.
