Williams sucks so bad this year they should be called Mclaren......
I was rooting for Sauber to score more points.
Hopes wonderkid Leclerc starts to perform better in the next races.

buxton says too many mechanics are around the car for these sub 3 second pitstops, would like to see only 2 people per wheel, would lengthen stops and add more variability.
i'm for it.

Musings:
Gasly trollololing ALO a bit. I don't think he's going to like that ending. Killer drive from him doe. That's how you leap frog Sainz for the RBR seat when Ricciardo goes to Ferrari next year.
Why did McLaren put Fred on the mediums for his second stint then just bring him in again? Thought for sure he was one stopping after that.
+1 for sweet baby Ruthie getting Ericsson to P9. Leclerc needs to step up, quickly.
Hope the Ferrari mechanic heals up quickly. That was ugly. Why did they drop the rear jack down, without, you know, changing the tire?

looking at the scene where the guy gets run over, there's 12 guys in the shot just for the back half of the car...
edit - well one is just standing there with a fire extinguisher so that doesn't count, so 11. should be rear jack man and 2 guys on each corner so cut that to 5 in rear and 5 in front

the whole thing was a fustercluck, i'm sure some kind of automation is to blame. 4 wheels detected on car after 2 seconds? green light
I'm...on the fence. People are gonna get hurt in the pitlane, no matter how many are doing the stops.
Just caught the last few laps on the DVR. That was an exciting end. And the almost Super Formula champion did awesome. Biggest team celebration after the race looked to be STR.
One Force India mechanic replied to WB on twitter saying **** no. They (the mechanics) love it and wouldn't change a thing. Says F1 stops are a hell of a lot better than F2 and lower formulas.

Also, no Indycar mention in this post? You're slipping.
