Daniel Ricciardo says he was grateful Red Bull made the call to end his F1 career because he knew he had lost something

"I broke my hand and it was such a nothing accident. I’d never really hurt myself racing all these years... I was like, okay, is this now a bit of a sign?"

"I was like, NO, there’s still unfinished business... I pushed through it and lasted another year in F1, ultimately got let go... I’d been let go twice in the last two years"

"In reflection, I was grateful that they made the decision for me"

"I knew I was probably done... Alonso, these guys are still in their 40s in F1 competing very highly, for whatever reason I lost a little bit of something, and it’s okay to admit it"

they’re calling it the most ethical front row of the 21st century

The most important thing re; Right of Review is that George approached the stewards during the red flag and asked if they could wait until the end of the race to impose any further penalties due to the obvious issue with the amount of people getting pinged for speeding in the pit lane.

[The Russell Report @sixtythreenews]

🚨 | The hearing on the penalties of the Monaco GP will take place in two stages.

The stewards will first determine whether Mercedes presented a "new significant and relevant element" that was not available at the time of the original decision.

If this threshold is met, the case will proceed to a second hearing, where the substance of the challenge will be considered.

Although the FIA stewards have not yet formally established that Russell's penalty was unjustified, the fact that the FOM has acknowledged that the timing system was functioning incorrectly strongly suggests that George may also have been unfairly penalized for speeding in the pit lane.

Bet my ass two of them were anthony and fred vesti

[Holy_Moly @Holy_Molygr1]

1. Nico Rosberg, just like Toto Wolff, is a businessman. Most of the time, what they say is influenced by their own interests, and Nico has had a financial interest in ANT’s success for years.

2. If ANT truly had the pace advantage over RUS, he would have passed him much earlier. Instead, it took him more than 30 laps just to get close, and he still couldn’t get by on track. By lap 28, he had already exceeded track limits four times, and investigations later showed that several additional track limit violations had been removed from the FIA record. On pure pace, he was never realistically going to catch Hamilton either.

3. Mercedes compromised RUS’s race through both strategy and car performance. They kept him uninformed about the strategic picture in order to help ANT close the gap, which is why RUS spent the first stint managing his tyres. Then, after switching to the hard tyre, he was forced to continue with a damaged front wing. That is the real reason ANT was eventually able to get past him.

[Mercedes-AMG Passion Club @MercedesAMGPCF1]

🚨 At Mercedes, the front wing is adjusted via a central mechanism hidden in the nose. To change the flap's angle of attack, a mechanic uses a type of cordless screwdriver with a long attachment to turn the adjusting screw. The direction and number of turns can be programmed into the tool before servicing.

- Apparently, the special tool didn't make the flap flatter, but steeper. As a result, George didn't have the desired reduction in downforce on the front axle, but rather more. This caused his rear end to slide in the corners.

- On the asphalt, which was over 50 degrees Celsius, this meant not only a loss of grip, but also increased tire wear.

[The Russell Report @sixtythreenews]

🇪🇸 | Mercedes messed up George’s front wing settings for his final stint:

Bradley: “In our final stop we actually incorrectly adjusted the front wing owing to a problem with the adjuster gun and that meant George was driving with a very, very oversteery balance that certainly compromised his pace in the final stages”

In fact, car #12 had already exceeded track limits four times before Lap 28. He should have received a 5-second penalty during his second pit stop and would have rejoined behind car #4.

Then, if he had gone off track again while chasing (which he always does), that would have been his fifth offense, resulting in a 10-second penalty. So the idea that car #4 “got lucky”is simply not true. At best, car #12 was only ever going to finish P4.

The FIA’s handling of the penalties was also quite interesting. Automated detection had already recorded four track-limit violations before Lap 28, and another two after Lap 28. However, it wasn’t until McLaren repeatedly complained that the FIA finally counted the Lap 10 track-limit infringement.

In the end, the official document ignored the two violations after lap28, even though for the other drivers, the number of track-limit violations listed in the documents matched the automated detection data exactly.

so mercedes didn't even show up at the podium for george at his 100th gp? wow... i'm amazed

[Holy_Moly @Holy_Molygr1]

Bono spent the entire race pleading with AKA to stop taking risks,warning him again and again about track limits, wheel lock-ups, and avoiding penalties. Yet he was so obsessed with chasing GR that he ignored every warning, kept pushing flat-out, and ultimately pushed the car beyond its limits.
