Well I finally figured it out (as usual)!
It was a very strange situation , it looked like Slowson suddenly showed up out of nowhere..
As I said : I was like he lost +/- 100 meters at the start ...

Slowson had to start from the pitlane . That's why I saw him somewhere in the background , because Red Bull worked overnight on Slowson's car setup in 'Parc fermé .
As usual , that didn't change anything because the RB21 setup is still a mess . A true Frankenstein (!)

As I said yesterday . And you said to me : I knew you would say that ..
It's not Slowson's fault. It's the RB21 Frankenstein car (!)
I feel so damn sorry for Slowson and MAX . It's a true miracle that MAX can fight with this Frankenstein car ...

IMHO. Adrian Newey fled on time , he said : I noticed something on the car that I really don't like (!)
The cars issue is a 'major fundamental design flaw . It comes from the cars floor and the suspension .Newey just knew what was coming and then Adrian Martin Newey was gone and moved to Aston.
Of course there was also Horner's horny times with the $1Million bitch ..

Pierre Waché is a French idiot . He created the monster Frankenstein and he didn't changed it during the winter break (!)
The French idiot had time enough during the winter break to fix it . That's why I really hate him !!!
The Frenchman Waché is not capable , not competent and far from qualified to fix it .
Otherwise it was already fixed ..And I really wonder how MAX can remain motivated to drive in that 5HITbox (!)

Horner should kick his French A$$ ! And replace him ASAP ..But with who ?
I fear the worst for the 2026 RB22 !!!
I won't be surprised that MAX will flee , just like A. Newey ...

We watched 2 races , and the 2025 WDC and WCC is already for McLaren ..
Awesome !

Can’t be surprised how bad this weekend turned out for Ferrari. Started with sprint pole and win to double DQ. Ferrari holding up traditions doing Ferrari things.

But it’s only 2 races in, right? Right?

Yeah. I think RUS is a pretty good driver (after all he beat HAM in the same machinery 2 out of 3 years.....) but his personality leaves a lot to to be desired.

Not only the clash between RUS and MAX in qualifying last year (Qatar I belive), but even before in melbourne between that strange incident between RUS and ALO. RUS immediately claiming "brakecheck!" where ALO just slowed down.
A true racing driver would primarily kick himself that he fell for such a trick. But not RUS

Some things are better just left on the track instead of running to the head master crying your way there....

And with RUS being chairman of the GPDA, and in that personality I think also has a place on the FIA board, you could question the impartiality of the stewards... something that has been an issue for a long time now on multiple levels.

I have a feeling that RUS personality is also beginning to catch up with him in the press, even the UK press...

Overall boring race, but was fun watching Max absolutely clown both Ferraris with his rope the dopes strategy and lulling them to sleep to leave them in his dust - again Max in the 4th fastest car beating the 2 in the second fastest cars. The Mclaren cars are awfully quick. They look almost MB level dominance where as long as they qualify decently it's going to be hard to beat but hopefully RB can develop better and Mclaren seeing how tricky a quick car can be - though it's nearly MB levels of autopilot easy where anyone on the grid would win with their car.

I just saw - Hamilton cheating again? And even with cheating he only finished 6th. HAHAHHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAH AHHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHHAHAHAH AHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA HHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA HAHAHHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAH AHHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHHAHAHAH AHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA HHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA HAHAHHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAH AHHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA

Remind me do they check the planks after a sprint race (doubt it would have worn enough given length)? They should also DSQ his sprint "win" - cheating in the main GP invalidates the entire weekend.

I would agree...there has and always will be a question to be asked on the FIA and impartiality.

For what it's worth, the UK press bias is unbelievable, so that's why I read from other outlets/internationally. I'm not a fan of the UK press and the bias especially when there's other avenues whom are more comfortable when reading.

As far as the UK press catching up to him is concerned, I wouldn't be surprised if it's just a slap on the hand and then after a while, all is forgotten/forgiven.

Gotta hurt especially when Max in a much slower car punked them both. And then this comes out and makes them look like even bigger f*cking clowns. Probably wont be the last time this happens this year. Seems to also be a pattern with Ham - running illegally low to gain major performance, hoping to get away with it, only to not have the skill to use it to full effect. The level of hubris around Ferrari never ceases to amaze.
Hamilton - worst Ferrari debut in history and then caught cheating in his second race.
