      Good thing few in an open wheel racing thread watches. I have no idea what happened, and don't really care (unless someone got really hurt, then it's bad and I'd be concerned about them).

        First time in 60 years a winning driver was DQ’d. And to top it off the runner-up was too, so the official winner didn’t even lead any laps.

            One level below that on the craziness scale.

              Seems that George was messing with Perez and the gap. And maybe he forced Sergio to think he needed to suddenly slow down to meet his targets. The gap had gone so far up and then got small a few times- and it also took SO long from the "VSC ENDING" sign to when it actually did. I'll be watching some of the analysis of the race to see what happened.
              The FIA said the primary VSC system crashed, so they had to go to the backup. Once the backup system is turned on, it automatically delays the end of VSC process by a minute. So, that is why it took so long from the initial announcement.

              Red Bull is saying they believe Perez got wrong information, including inaccurate delta times, during this crossover. They are not quite making any accusations just yet, but they do want to sit down with the FIA to discuss it and get an explanation.

                If that's the case, I have no problem with Red Bull getting the short end of the stick, there. Given how last season ended.... They should easily be capable of dealing with a 4th instead of a 3rd when they were literally given a WC because of a rule change on the last lap of the last race of the season.

                    4-time world champion Sebastian Vettel to retire at the end of the season.
                    A bad cause requires many words.

                      I called Dr. Mrs. to tell me and she already knew.

                      That is the first time she ever knew anything about sports.

                      Huh.

                        I think my only real positive memory of his career was when he stepped in for Kubica at the USGP at Indy, which we were at.

                        Actually, him winning with Toro Rosso at Monza was pretty cool- first win for Menardi.

                          I completely forgot this was actually his F1 debut.

                          This is what I hang onto whenever I think Vettel is not as great as everyone makes him out to be. That drive was epic. And he got pole, too.

                            I do think he is a great driver. But he’s also one of the bigger jerks (putting it nicely) on the track. Blames everyone but himself, and bullies other drivers around.

                              Latifi takes first in FP3, albeit in the rain. Then in dry conditions in Q1 sets the fastest first sector. Still finishes last.
