Quite interesting to see that autosports makes s video about the possibility that vettel gets a race ban while in Italy nobody even speaks about the possibility. I have to think that vettel has not many friends in england
After acting like a spoilt brat for a solid few years, I'm not sure he has many friends anywhere. Besides, Italians are probably too busy focusing on the huge positive of a Ferrari winning at Monza than to talk about the possible hardships of their former number one driver.
Guess the pole champion 2014
Guess the pole champion 2015
Guess the pole accuracy champion 2015

Vettel was in a similar position in 2017, caused the Singapore pile up, and received no further punishment.

18-inch wheels tested for the first time. Actually liking those.
They look really good actually! Can anyone kindly remind us what they’re supposed to improve on track-wise?
They bring the tyres up to current spec. Most if not all series run low profile tyres and most manufacturers (especially Michelin) in the past said they see no point in developing 13" tyres. So the change may open up the tyre front in the mid to long term. As for the cars, they should be less sensitive to tyre pressure changes.

Today the Strategy Group decided that refueling won't come back in the near future.
While I was not looking forward to a return to strategic pit passing, I was hoping the cars could get a bit smaller in the future. A large amount of the added length in todays F1 machines (just compared to early 2000s) are due to the larger size of the fuel bladders behind the driver needed to hold fuel for a full GP.

We can say that italy is in the leclerc fever. To be honest I don’t remember a driver being so cheered that quick. We already have the legendary story in the news. It sewms that Leclerc took the taxi after the race and the driver, who had not recognized him, asked if he was at the circuit. Charles said yes and the driver said, that young driver is really good. Then when leclerc paid for the ride he said “nice to meet you, i am the young driver”

I’m glad you liked the story. Once we had this legendary story about lauda being pulled over by the police. The policeman yelled at him “hey man who do you think you are, niki lauda?!?”
Going back to leclerc here you are his interview where he explains that story

Isn’t there an identical story involving Stirling Moss.

Haas have released pics of their new Rich Energy free livery following their split with their title sponsor...
Last weekthe matter of will they wont they reached a head when Story regained control of Rich Energy and Haas agreed with Rich Energy to terminate their sponsorship deal with immediate effect. Officially Haas have said a corporate restructuring process at Rich Energy will see the need for a revised global strategy for the brand.
That move will result in the removal of the Rich Energy logos that have been on the car, drivers' race wear and team kit since the start of the season. The black and gold livery inspired by Rich Energy remains, and in fact I think it is probably the same but with the logos missing.

Alfa has been unsuccessful in its bid to have its German Grand Prix penalties overturned.
It had appealed the 30-second penalties that dropped Kimi Raikkonen and Antonio Giovinazzi from seventh and eighth to 12th and 13th, but post-race time penalties are not among the punishments that can be appealed under F1 rules, so the FIA deemed the appeal inadmissable.
A full ruling is expected to be published later.
So, the spinoff from the appeal failure is the two points Lewis scored and the one point scored by Kubica remain. They inherited the 9th and 10th positions when the Alfas were docked 30 seconds each, dropping them out of their double points finish.
Thus Kubica also retains the record for the longest gap between two points scores.... 8y 08m 14d (168GPs) between Abu Dhabi 2010 and Germany 2019.
The next longest gap in GP terms was MIke Hailwood, 83GPs from Monaco 1964-Italy 1971.
