Malaysia 2017 - Vettel illegally completed the race in Kimi's car, with Kimi going to the grid in Seb's car and the team knowing that he would never be allowed to start that race: Following the double Ferrari crash in Singapore two weeks prior, which saw Hamilton extend his championship lead significantly over Vettel (having only taken the overall lead in Italy the round before), Ferrari knew that they needed to prioritise Vettel moving forward if they were to have any chance to turn the tide on a championship that was slipping away. A new engine was put in Seb's car for the weekend, however unbeknownst to Ferrari this unit had some major issues, which became apparent in qualifying. Seb was unable to set a qualifying time due to these issues, however Kimi's car was working well with him able to set the second fastest time. In order to not break curfew while trying to diagnose the issue, as well as risking not being able to fix the issue anyway as, Ferrari decide to switch the cars. Vettel is told of this plan, Kimi is not. In direct contravention of the rules, the mechanics switch over the seats, steering wheels and adjusted the pedals of each car to each drivers requirement, as well as the decals showing the driver numbers. Race day - Vettel is at the back of the grid in Kimi's car. The mission: overtake as many cars as possible and minimise the haemorrhaging of points to Hamilton for the second race in a row, in a championship fight that up until this point has been extremely close. Kimi is unaware that he is driving Seb's car with a compromised engine. During the warm up lap Kimi notices that he has power issues and informs the team. They tell him to pull onto the grid to see if they can fix it there in line with standard procedure. The team comes and does a performative exercise pretending to look to fix the car when they know full well this car is not going to be allowed to race, as they cannot risk the FIA scrutineering the vehicle and uncovering the ploy. Quickly the car is then wheeled off the track - this thing needs to be out of sight and out of mind. Kimi does not start the race. Vettel starts the race and fights back admirably ultimately finishing fourth. Luckily for him and Ferrari, Verstappen has given himself the ultimate late birthday present one day after turning 20 and has driven the wheels off his Red Bull to secure victory over Hamilton, after passing him on lap 4. Overall the outcome is pretty good - only six points lost to Hamilton at a weekend that looked like it might be much, much worse. Only one last problem: how to get the car back to the pits without anyone from the FIA getting a close look at it? Ferrari knows there is only one way to do that and that is on the back of a tow truck. As Vettel drives the cool down lap he spots Lance Stoll ahead of him. Lance is on the inside so Vettel goes around him in a clumsy manner, making sure to hit his rear tyres in a way that ensures damage to his rear axel, making it impossible to limp back to the pits. The car is parked on the side of the circuit and while Vettel jumps onto Wehrlein's car to wave at the crowd, distracting everyone from looking into the bizarre event that just unfolded too much, the car is towed inconspicuously back to the garage, away from prying eyes and no one is the wiser. Either all of that, or the Ferrari engine was just giving us a preview of its 2022 reliability in both cars and Lance Stroll can't drive properly. 😂

For me, Bianchi's fatal accident is an 'iceberg'. Although a report on the course of events was published, Bianchi's accident is treated by Formula 1 as a complete taboo topic. For example, while the accidents of Senna and Hubert are repeatedly mentioned, this is not the case with Bianchi. Since apart from the mobile phone video and two pictures there are no published recordings of the accident and this is poorly documented for the public, I can't shake the feeling that something about the accident is being deliberately kept secret.

Try = Senna and Prost was actually a "bromance", with an unreciprocated feeling, however. I read it once on Reddit, and to some degree, it makes so much sense. Prost said that ever since Senna met him at some funky unimportant races in DTM-like Mercedes cars, Senna somehow "chose" him, from the first race it was Prost who Senna found the guy to beat. Their personal relationship had always been bizarre and Prost revealed that for instance, back in 1988 they were to take part in a Honda event in Geneva and had lunch together at Prost's house nearby. Senna was apparently very evasive, spoke little if anything and slept through his stay at Prost's. Obviously after the 1989 season it became even further strained. What I find interesting is what happened at the end of Prost career. Senna was desperate for Alain to remain in F1 and even convinced McLaren to sign him. He couldn't live without Alain driving alongside him. Was it just because of competitive spirit and him being an arch-nemesis? Or maybe was it because he had a huge crush on Prost, and knew that F1 race weekends were the only moments where he could see him, meet him. Without all this, Alain would be gone. Prost revealed too that during the winter of 1994, Senna told him "something that I was meant to keep a secret all my life, never told it to anyone, not even my wife, my family". What possibly could have been so important to keep in secret? Was it the secret crush? This is a far-fetched one, but there are even claims that Senna deliberately killed himself at Imola. Realising that Benetton was a rigged car, that he might not be challenging for the title, and that his beloved Alain is out of the sport, he no longer saw purpose in continuing. Dying a legend would immortalise him forever as one of the GOATs and make him into a God-like figure. And I must say, that no matter If purposefully, he achieved that.

DAS was not banned because it was a "moveable aerodynamic device". it literally only affected the toe angle of the front wheels allowing for less tyre scrubbing and higher top speed on straights; and it wasn't not banned the same year "because Mercedes", but because it was already deemed legal by the FIA for 2020. the FIA had to alter the 2021 regs in order to ban DAS

[@redbadger2656]

theres a interesting interview with albon about his time as max`s teammate. he basically said max likes to have his cars to be set up extremly sensitive and compared it to cranking up the sensitivity in a racing sim to 200% and beyond. during the season while the car is being developed more everything gets more and more sensitive and thats completely contrary to what most drivers would want to have to suit their driving style. So when he showed his potential in late 2014 and throughout 2015 in the RB the car was developed due to his input, starting with a very sensitive car for the beginning of the season and only becoming more sensitive throughout the season. that resulted in them having to take more and more risks while the season developed because the car just didnt suit their preferred driving style. thats why many teammates seemed to be close during the start of the season and the difference in pace between them and max grew bigger and bigger during the year.

1:12:12 This refers to some people's claims that Mick isn't Michael's son due to his lacklustre pace and poor race results since his F1 debut as at the time he'd still yet to score his first points. They reasoned that a son of the legend Michael Schumacher shouldn't be this slow and should've had the "golden genes" like his father. These claims were quickly squashed after Silverstone when Mick fought wheel to wheel with Verstappen and scored his first points as well as in Austria where he battled other drivers fairly well and even defended against Lewis.

[@Metatr0n]

Can have multiple reasons, some say they wanted to make the car look weak as to not reveal their power level, some say they didn't want to have their poster-boy humiliated. My theory is the simplest one: Money. As they already had an eye on Russel and considered getting him into Mercedes, they simply didn't want to risk a George Russel price hike. Other teams might snatch him away from Mercedes by offering a better contract, or Russel himself could use his race result (possible 1st place) as leverage in the contract negotiations.

[@n8pls543]

An easy explanation for this comes in the form of that Ricciardo used to make jokes about Verstappen being a 'tech nerd' when they were teammates, because simply put, Verstappen has a lot more knowledge when it comes to technical aspects of the cars than most drivers.

AND that they said on the radio at the final corner 'Looks like a slow rear left puncture' but didn't box. Meaning he did a full lap when they knew it was there?? As he approached the final corner again Russell said he couldn't feel the puncture (and as I said the laptime was the same too) in which Bono said 'Afirm this is a GENUINE puncture'. Obviously he was always going to get Bottas' seat so given the position the team was in with the championship etc. I think this was a test of Russell's ability to deal with a really bad race, how he handled it in the media and in the team.
