Pirelli wets six seconds slower than inters? No wonder everyone is going on inters too soon. Pirelli sucks at wet tires. Maybe bring in a second tire manufacturer for wet tires?
What the fudge was the crane doing on track before the cars were collected up? FIA screws up and blames the driver? Budget caps in the "premiere racing series"? Development freezes -- that some teams can bypass for "safety"? FIA is ruining the sport.

No surprises. RB has had a dominant car this season - it has looked good on every track. In the hands of Max, a difficult combo to beat. Perez 2nd in championship shows how good the car is. Perez is a good driver too, and with the car, a strong combo. Without trying to state the obvious, every other car needs work - no other car has had the points earning consistency of the RB. Any of the consistent top 7 drivers would stand a chance of winning the championship if in a RB.
Not a completely bad one and a good recovery from the disastrous 2020: 11 poles, 4 wins and beating the mighty Mercedes team for now.
Why so negative? Ferrari was more competitive than in many previous years. 9 poles show how fast the car is. Wasn't as good as Max in a RB but still a huge difference to eg. last year.
Because they screwed up this season too many times. I don't mind them losing --- its just the way they lost.
Not unreasonable delta between full wets and inters, especially since the wets were being used in conditions basically meant for inters. The problem with the wets is that they’re meant to be used in heavy rain but because of the reduced visibility from the spray or because of standing water, they never really race in these conditions. Also, the FIA allows so little dedicated testing and when they do try to organize a wet weather session pre-season, hardly anyone goes out.
Ferrari was strong at the season start, but the other teams got quicker while Ferrari stayed much the same. Out of the gate, the Ferrari was the stronger car, but RB caught up quickly.
There was a time when F1 did run in heavy rain. Anyone remember the Malaysian GP where a "boatload" of cars hydroplaned off the track, because of all the standing water? But, yes, the testing limits are really hurting the sport.
