And Ferrari have a chance to demonstrate that they’ve sorted out their strategy team…..
“I simply believe that you have to look at history to understand what went wrong. If you look at the great successes of the last thirty years, you will find a simple structure, detached from an industrial organisation chart, built around three or four strong personalities, coupled with a champion driver.
“Laurent Rossi is the most beautiful example of the Dunning-Kruger effect, that of an incapable leader who thinks he can overcome his incompetence by his arrogance and lack of humanity towards his troops.
“The one who was Alpine’s boss for 18 months thought he understood everything from the start when he was totally mistaken. His management broke the momentum that had been put in place since 2016 to reach these podiums and this victory."
Williams - Frank & Patrick Head
McLaren - Ron & Gordon Murray then Newey
Benneton - Flav & Brawn
Ferrari - Todt & Brawn
RB - Horner, Marko & Newey
Merc - Toto/Brawn & Lauda
Chucking out bosses every 18 months is never ever going to work. That said, you do need to have the right folks in those positions, which is also something Renault have consistently failed to do (Boullier, a relatively-inexperienced Vasseur, Stoll/Abitboul, Bukowski, Otmar). McLaren now look clearly above them once again, and I can easily see Williams taking that step next year with Vowles & Fry running things
66% chance of rain for the next couple of hours and same time tomorrow so could still be a soggy sprint & race
I’m so bored I might as well be listening to Pink Floyd
*If anyone from F1 is reading please note it was good because it was at Spa in the wet, not because it was a sprint...
Definitely Hamilton's mistake but as usual it's more that I would rather see consistency than more or less leniency.
How is it that it feels like they are always making it up as they go along?
But worth a 5s penalty? Absolutely not. It wasn’t aggressive, or an opportunistic lunge, or anything other than an understeer contact that had the misfortune to damage Perez’s sidepod.
Far more troubling was the absolute chaos of unsafe releases in the pit lane which barely raised an eyebrow from the stewards. F1 is sleepwalking into there being a major incident one of these days with a pit crew getting mown down.
The same man who owns a Honda Dealership and once called Max the "Great white hope" and despite it being recorded he tried to deny he ever said it.

I agree with @Cols - definitely Ham's fault on balance, but definitely not a penalty considering how many times Max has pushed people completely off and got away with nothing. In the dry it might have been a fair judgement.
Big +1 to the chaos in the pitlane - I was expdecting at least 4 or 5 drivers to get penalties. They're rightly terrified of Spa killing an F1 driver in the rain but don't seem to give a shit about the 200+ people in the pitlane
Max racing off on his own is mighty boring as a spectacle
