Yeah the criticism of Stroll is very harsh, none of his DNF's are solely down to him if at all

Not F1 related but there was a horrific crash in the British F4 race at Donington Park yesterday:

 

 

Sadly Billy Monger has lost both of his lower legs

Awful news. Only 17 as well.

Really bad news regarding the lad in the F4 race at Donnington.  Can't understand how that section of the track, the steepest section, containing a stationary car on track, wasn't under waved yellows as a minimum.  Awful.

Depends how long he's stopped for surely. If he'd just stopped seconds earlier then there's not much could be done. I think they'd just started waving the yellows, but he wouldn't have seen them.

A few rule changes. Numbers on the cars to be more visible, and standing starts after a red flag.

Looks like Brawn is following through on his promise to get rid of or severely limit the stupid shark fins.

15 place grid penalty for Vandorne. On his 5th engine of the season already.

Palmer is way out of his depth in F1.

I can't understand why he still has a seat.

 

Don't think he's any better than Max Chilton.

[isaidno]

His excuse today was that he was under pressure, that's why he crashed

Definitely not a good driver then

Chilton finished the first 25 races he started. Might have been in a shit car and finished at the back but he never spun out, never crashed. Clearly there's more about him than there is Palmer.

And you think Chilton would score more points than Palmer if both drove the same car?

Well I think he'd give himself more of a chance by simply staying on the track.

Neither does Felipe Nasr

 

Doesn't Palmer has some additional money related factor to his seat?

[Stinkenzo]

With Palmer i've always noticed come the final lap of Q1 he is always in the bottom 5 whereas Hulkenberg is already comfortably through?? I know China he was unlucky because of a yellow flag but he shouldn't be putting himself in these situations where he needs to get his final lap perfect
