Israel's assault on the press continues. Not a good sign.

Israel is driven by vengeance and fear.

That's been the case for decades but a lot of the world won't hold them accountable for their own actions.

Palestinian lives and civil rights almost always take a backseat to Israeli rhetoric and posturing on the world stage. The loss of any innocent life is tragic whether it be Israeli, Palestinian, or otherwise and should be treated as such.

Unfortunately for everyone Palestine/Gaza has become so desperate to escape their shrinking cage that they seem to have resorted to desperate and despicable tactics, and Israel will gladly commit genocide if the world allows them to. It's a no win situation that should be defused by world powers, not encouraged and bankrolled by them.

Has to be Boost.

Come on now, The Thong Song isn't that bad.

Lance, please stop being naughty in front of the camera.

Lance are you listening? Lance?!?!

Oh, he was only passed out. Carry on.

YouTube filtering is fairly unique to YouTube since they serve ads so aggressively so it's unlikely to help on other sites.

Found Empty G's alt.

Old people have fire sticks now.

But I can't prove anything since the app is gone now.

Reminds me of Robinhood WSB users.

Undoubtedly there's still performance to be unlocked as they understand how the upgrades are working in the real world compared to the wind tunnel. A McLaren on the top step of a proper GP podium could be on the cards before the end of the season.

That's what we'd like to think, sure.

DC had commented during the F1TV coverage that he was surprised the drivers were feeling ill or much of anything besides adrenaline from racing so the conditions must've really been taking a toll. When an expert on the subject takes note of the extreme conditions that's a red flag to me that something may need a closer look.

Just hypothetically- If they're already peaked out just trying to keep themselves driving because the conditions make them ill, what kind of decision making would we see? To me, Logan looked like a driver in survival mode on the way back to the pits. If he drifts back into the racing line because he's blacking out or delirious from heat exhaustion, what capacity is he going to have to free himself from the car if someone were to collide with him?

It just seems logical to me that if the FiA are going to do things like the halo, survival cell, checking vertical oscillations for high G load, red flags for rain, etc, all in the name of driver safety, then maybe they will look into days like today before something tragic happens.

It begs the question- could these drivers safely exit the car if they had a crash towards the end of these races? Were some of them already past a safe limit?

Watching Sargent bring the car in on the lap he eventually retired was shocking. He looked like someone struggling to function in the most basic sense, not like someone in control of their car.

After going back and watching his driver cam and listening to team radio calls around the time he went out (There may be more before this that I've missed) he definitely seems to be reeling from exhaustion-

Lap 40 Logan radios in to tell his engineer he doesn't feel well, and is almost immediately asked if he's retiring. There's some back and forth but he is ultimately told if he doesn't feel well he's retiring.

A couple corners in to lap 41 he radios back that he needs to stop. A few turns farther and he radios back that he needs to stop again and says he has no mirrors. From this point on he drives very erratically as he gets calls for where drivers are on track. At one point he's all the way down in 1st gear crawling so slowly that his engineer asks him repeatedly if he's ok and tells him to park the car.

As he enters the pits he tries and fails to open his visor, and later struggles to finally get it open. Before the camera feed cuts you can see him trying to get out of the car, stopping to gather himself, and ultimately being helped out by the mechanics.

I'm not a doctor but it would seem like a better solution is needed to decide if race conditions are safe if this is how things are going to be. F1 doesn't need to turn into a middle eastern blood sport.

I think you can argue this is also partially why Piastri could finish ahead of Norris. That and team orders, but McLaren would have let Norris true if he was so much faster to challenge Max I think.

That's the problem with team orders in a race like today's. Lando was setting fastest laps at will behind Oscar. After Max's slow stop the gap was something like 4 seconds back to Oscar. What happens if instead of maintaining a small gap back to Piastri, Max is forced to push harder because of a charging Lando? Maybe Lando is closer during Max's pit window, etc.

I understand the McLaren reasoning for team orders to secure a solid result for both drivers, but Lando was out for redemption today after a tough start to the weekend and the fans potentially lost a chance to see someone challenge Max on pure pace.

Hopefully we'll get to see a lot more wheel to wheel racing for the lead before the end of the season.

Two drivers tiptoeing around each other, one sending it around the outside hoping it's enough. Not a great move from Lewis but it's been a season of ups and downs for him.

A good result for McLaren but I have to wonder how much that lead Red Bull was holding back.

Does this include the final 5 second penalty for Perez? I could've sworn I heard F1TV say he would move behind Zhou .

Ferrari should just put him in the pit wall to call strategy for Charles. Maybe the strategists would learn something.

sad smooth operator noises

Where as a monster comes up with excuses to keep looking at it….such as an excuse like what you just provided.

I didn't excuse anything, I commented on what he's being accused of vs what the headline left open for interpretation.

The problem here isn't traditional deg, that happens across the contact patch as the tire spins and slides.

The problem they are having is sidewall deg and separating construction within the tire. The rubber compound and the belts within the sidewall are coming apart, supposedly because of the new pyramid style kerb design used for this race. That's why they modified part of the track yesterday and moved the white line farther away from that style kerb.

The traditional deg here is massive but that's something the teams usually have figured out before Sunday. Since this was a sprint weekend they'll have less data than they'd like but that just makes the race more exciting with multiple tire strategies in play.

The issue this weekend is one of safety because of a poorly tested track design and racing on a green track. It's becoming somewhat of a tradition in F1.
