I think your assessment of Red Bull's mid-season moves is sound. Mainly because it agrees completely with my assessment. Including Yuki being angry. I believe it's Yuki's anger problems that is keeping him from the Red Bull team seat. Christian Horner sees something in Danny-Ric, and is eager to coax that genius out of him once again.

Brazilian GP 1982 Jacarepagua, Rio de Janeiro. Nelson Piquet won his home GP driving the Brabham. Keke Rosberg finished 2nd with the Williams. Alain Prost came home 3rd in his Renault turbo. *Both* Piquet and Rosberg were found to be underweight so *Prost won the race.* San Marino GP 1985 Imola Alain Prost won the race but the car was found to be underweight and Elio de Angelis inherited the race win. I suppose his good fortune winning the Brazilian GP in 1982 evened itself out with bad fortune in this race in 1985. Interestingly enough Piquet, Rosberg and Prost were all champions in F1. Will George Russell join this list?

A set of F1 tyres (minus rims) weighs 42kg when new but can lose as much as 3kg in wear during a long stint. This is even more so at Spa. Moreover, the Spa has no cooldown lap, so there is no rubber pick-up. You often hear engineers tell their drivers to pick up rubber at the end of the race. Now you know why. They do the maths on very fine calculations.

According to information via a tweet from Ruth Buscombe (former F1 race strategist, now F1TV commentator) the weight issue could be attributed to the one stop strategy causing the tyres to be extra worn, as well as no victory lap when driving off track to wave to fans can cause loose rubber and other substances to embed and add that weight back onto the tyres. Aside: I think no victory lap is terrible. Fans like to cheer the drivers on their victory laps, I'm sure the drivers like that too.

OK, it's a bit sparse from turns 5-9, but turn 10-11 has thousands there. Although I agree there's not a lot from there to the Bus Stop. My point is all those people see them still racing the last lap, but never see them again after the win. I've read elsewhere that fans do feel deprived of the victory lap. Yes, the track is the longest, but I don't see that as much of an excuse as it's only about 1km more than Silverstone and Baku, and they have victory laps. In researching this I found that Spa is the only track that doesn't do a victory lap - how sad.

I must have missed something, Georges car was weighed in the condition it existed when it crossed the finish line and it was legal. In my 50+ years of racing from karts on up that is the end of the story. But F1 then removed 2.8ltr of fuel for testing and weighed the car a second time and now it is too light. The problem I have with this is that the second weight is NOT the condition the car was in when it crossed the finish line. If this is the normal post race test procedure for F1 that is just stupid. Is there someplace where the public can go to read the actual F1 rules?
@09juliancarrАй бұрын
Even more upsetting is that the car was NOT underweight. As they were carrying the fuel and ‘using it as ballast’ - so there appears to be no benefit, but the rule is from when cars refuelled - that way one could run their car ‘underweight’ until the last fuel stop

Before the current regulations, the teams were always running their cars close to being underweight. Most of the top teams back then actually added ballast to bring the car up to the minimum weight. A light weighing driver would get a slight benefit as they can add the ballast to get the car to weigh more evenly across the whole of the car. Drivers back then would always pick up the marbles off the track on the slow down lap after the chequered flag to ensure the car met the required minimum lap.

@@tommloye4626 I understand they can, there’s a number of people in the media suggesting that it’s likely that the tyres are a part of the problem. If Lewis’s car was ok and the cars are identical why the difference?

@@pjmack75 Well, to start, cars are never “identical.” Teams don’t always give the exact same upgrades to both cars…nor are they set up the same with ballast weight. Next, there is no indication Hamilton’s car was even inspected after the race. It may have been, but only a handful of cars are selected for post-race inspections…4-5 usually.

@@tommloye4626 actually if you refer to the post race scrutineering list about 14 cars were weighed and Lewis’s was one of them.

Did Spa in 2013. I can confirm it is Hell getting out after Race day. Great Podcast by the way Kym. I think your betting instincts are correct.🇬🇧👍

Toto's reaction indicates to me that he knew that he knew George's car was underweight. Mercedes tried to pull a fast one but didnt expect George to pull an audible and get so high in the ranking

It is a true lesson to all the teams. The old tyres losing rubber on the track was weight lost and making aa additional stop would have also reduced that amount of fuel lost. These 2 things in essence reduced the weight of the car and as such resulted in a breach

Toto & AMG did a retro F1 strategy that works especially when you race an old circuit like SPA that has lots of tire wear data all the way back to the 1970's of no PITSTOPS. This was a brilliant experiment to revisit as the fuel became lighter on those grade of Pirelli tires with one stop! Back in the late 1970's i loved watching those skilled F1 Legends Lauda Scheckter Hunt and Watson drive their cars in the later laps with sticky worn slicks and a light fuel load on a big thirsty track...Toto took a page from those days and it worked! However the FIA WAS CAUGHT WITH ITS PANTS DOWN AND DI NOT WANT THIS OLD SCHOOL METHOD TO TAKE ROOT AGAIN!
