Poor strategy, AT on Gasly not pitting like the others and RB on Albon for the wrong tires. Alex still playing the political game, held back on criticizing RB.
Ferrari was messy this weekend. Is the struggle related to the undisclosed "agreement" with the FIA as punishment for their sneaky fuel cheat from LY?

Racing Point need new strategy leadership/managers. Its a clone so not perfect but Im not sad about them overall. They stole a design and its not paying off consistently. Too bad.

I fear for Albon. Sooner or later he will be Al-gone. Its not working for him and Max is crushing him. He just does not click with the car. He is struggling. Put Gasly in it and move on.

Ferrari have bad aero to no aero and have been relegated to using a weak engine as they were essentially caught cheating and forced to modify the engine to comply. Its a secret settlement with the FIA for now. They should tell us what happend. No matter now as they are terrible.

Renault are on the rise a bit. Finally. They should be doing better. Its a large company with resources. Glad to see it!

Yes it was Boring to say the least. Hopefully the next race will be more exciting. Hopefully.

Racing Point
Well when you copy something, not exactly like the real thing. But is it better then where they were? At least Stroll is showing something...

Red Bull
I would not put Gasly there, he had his chance, as for Albon, why did they not put him on the hard tires.... it is a no win, for who ever is the 2nd driver, MAX is so far ahead of anyone...

Ferrari
Wish we would know what they did and for them to go after RP, is all about the money

Renault
Maybe it is only the low downforce circuits...

Boring --- YES and do not expect anything different next week

I'm surprised that this didn't happen a few years ago.

Well, they were probably the main draw for sponsors, despite poor performance. Now, with new ownership, it was time for sure. "New broom" and all.

This should likely happen at a lot of teams but is unlikely. For a sport where the cars go so fast, things behind the scenes sure change at a slow pace!
