Gravels are never good for single-seater cars. So if they also bounce on them…

The return of Dark Toto! The competitors better watch out… At least, he found a smile with Lewis Hamilton’s second place in Sunday’s race.

Weekends follow each other and resemble each other for Ferrari. The Scuderia leaves Australia with zero points, a penalty for Carlos Sainz, and a retirement for Charles Leclerc. Another weekend to forget…
No points for Ferrari.

The race ended in total confusion. Between the red flags, the accident involving the two Alpines, Fernando Alonso’s off-road excursion, it was chaos. On the other hand, Max Verstappen was calmly leading the race.

Even the stables did not understand the situation…

The misunderstanding was total among internet users as well. The FIA is clearly being singled out.
“We put an unjustified red flag for debris that we have always cleaned under SC x2. We have a standing start with two laps to go. We don’t consider the 57th lap, but we penalize Sainz. We restart a race on lap 58/58. Bizarre…”
Yes, it’s not a joke. Hoping that the FIA will learn some lessons from it.
“LOL red flag to avoid the safety car and end up under the safety car, we’re really dealing with deep genius.” – Fédé 🇫🇷 de la Lose (@FFLose) April 2, 2023.
Had a better Sunday, and you?
