The head of Red Bull said in plain text that Mercedes, losing the competition, is trying to change the rules. And I completely agree with him - there is a technical solution to get rid of dolphining, so this is not a problem of regulations, but a problem of Mercedes. But maybe Mercedes' wishes will be satisfied - no one is interested in Red Bull being the undisputed champion long before the end of the season. How disgusting all this is (although it is reasonable from a business point of view)  Undecided
I think that, of course, there is also a political component, when the losing team demands to change the regulations and rules in order to have an advantage in the next stages of the competition.  But, I must say that dolphining really affects the health of the riders. 
By the way, many F1 teams are working hard to change the aerodynamics of the bottom of the car.  They come up with ribs and holes and something else.   Smiley
But the problem is still worth solving both technically and, possibly, adjusting the rules.Huh

If your car dolphining and the health of the pilots is deteriorating, then you must increase the gap between the bottom of the car and the road. Eeeeeezy solution isnt it? But you shouldn't force all teams to increase the gap. I haven't heard Red Bull complain about dolphining. It would be great if the federation fined Mercedes for causing harm to the health of the pilots and forced them to increase the clearance, but would not touch other teams  Grin It would be logical and fair.

It annoys me how Hamilton and the rest of the Mercedes associates whine about the health hazards of bouncing/dolphining cars and that the regulations need to be changed because of this to keep the drivers healthy. Only a couple of teams have problems, the rest were able to make a good car and settings - why is it necessary to change the regulations because of a few losers? Let Mercedes increase the clearance to lose speed and to preserve the health of the riders.
Actually, it's not just Mercedes and Hamilton. Sainz, Gasly, Ricciardo also complained about bouncing. And on that ling straight it looked really painful.
Though, I'm not sure that changes in regulation is needed. As Norris said, teams can adjust height and reduce bouncing, but they will have to sacrisfy performance in this way.

Leclerc is looking to be the favorite at the moment for practice and qualification. But Verstappen is great on this track so this is why he has the lowest odds to win the race come Sunday on Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Parc Jean-Drapeau.
Charles is always the favorite when he isn't racing, which should tell us something. I am not the best F1 fan out there, there are people who literally could understand the engine specifics of the cars, so I am not going to even try to attempt to make some predictions or reasoning.

But, if one person wins the practice and gets the best result, then he qualifies at pole position almost all the time, then it makes me wonder what makes him so much in trouble for the current situation during the races. I would say, wager on Charles for qualifying, and then Max for the race, this happened way too many times to say that it wouldn't happen again.

I have a feeling that while indeed some of the cars do bounce badly, all this new drama about the health hazard may be triggered in order to:
* get some more attention on Hamilton, Mercedes and their sponsors
* if it succeeds, by chance, and a regulation is imposed, then they hope that all the cars may have to get a "safety margin" so the car is not bouncing and then maybe the Mercs will be on top again


I find pretty much laughable (in a pretty sad way) that when Hamilton has a problem, people should make regulations for him to be fine, but when regulations are to be made, he may not comply (see the piercing safety regulation and drama).

It is obvious that the constructors of Mercedes made a mistake (somewhere in the design) and they cannot raise the clearance, because then their backlog will be catastrophic. So they raise this noise so that the federation will force all the teams to do what is beneficial to Mercedes. A working but dastardly strategy. By the way, I don't know how it will help Hamilton personally because he rides worse than a teammate.

Reputation first.
The battle for the world championship seemed to be in full swing after the first few races. Verstappen has taken a lot of points in the last races and Leclerc has already retired many times. The difference is now starting to become significant in the ranking. I think Ferrari with Le Clerc should now put the world title out of his mind. There appear to be a lot of technical problems in this car. Verstappen drove decent today and that was enough for the victory.

I guess that is too much early to see what will be the next champions of this season. It is true that Ferrari has retired in some races, but there are also many race yet to do, and if Ferrari solves their issues, I guess that we

will see a nice show between Leclerc and Verstappen. Nevery Say never, hope that Ferrari will win the title  Cool

There are still quite a few races to go, so we can't really say who will be world champion yet. And Verstappen started poorly at the start of the season, but is lucky that LeClerc has now retired a few times in a row. The big losses and disappointment of the season seems to be Mercedes after all. World champion for years, 2nd last year and now they don't even participate. It may have to do with the new regulations. I wonder why other teams are performing so well and Mercedes not. Then there must be something wrong with management.

I've said it right after Barcelona, that was the moment they've changed the engines to something worse than what they had at the start of the year.
Pretty shame, they've killed their chances, Leclerc's, and the chances of 2 other teams too.

Not much to say about today's race. It could have been *very* interesting... until the Ferraris started failing one after the other.


The only memorable part for me was the fixing of Tsunoda's rear wing / DRS flaps with duct tape. And then surviving until  the end of the race. Cheesy

How bad its Ferrari doing? take a look on this.

Red Bull - Ferrari gap in constructor championship: 80 points.

Ferrari - Mercedes gap in constructor championship : 38 points.

So Mercedes its more close to Ferrari than Ferrari close to Red Bull. And this with a really bad Mercedes, imagine if Mercedes have a good car to fight. Good bye to Ferrari chance to win constructor if that pass.

Judging by the retirement of two cars of the main team due to technical problems and two more cars from the client teams, Ferrari has huge technical problems. There is a possibility that the season that promised to be interesting by the middle will turn into a fight in the middle of the peloton and the first three places will be known - Red Bull, Ferrari, Mercedes.

Yeah, feel like an idiot picking the Dutchie for pole when LeClerc was clearly doing very well in practice. He's been the one, dropping points all season long I have, doing this. But the race will be another matter, and I expect Verstappen to again show his climbing prowess (and then defending nous).

Anyway, race in 2 hours. Might tune in here and there if I manage to avoid my Sunday comatose. Podium could have 3 different teams I feel!

Leclerc takes pole position for the race tomorrow.

Then Perez comes in with beating out Verstappen with that burning of the rubbers. That was so close at the end for Checo getting in second place for qualifying.

Very impressive run by Leclerc. I really thought he had lost his touch but in the last few races he has become a comeback wizard when it comes to these races.

So there IS a limit to how much you can spend on repairs caused by a race, yes? And what happens when that budget's hit? They can't repair the car and the team has to retire?

If they spend more than the budget cap they get penalized. There are discussions already about the possibility that some teams may have to choose at the end of the year whether to skip a race or go over the budget.
The "lucky" part is that the budget is in USD which got very strong against GBP and EUR and this may squeeze a couple of extra millions of GBP / EUR, since the teams calculate the expenses in European money.

This is old (written in 2020 for 2021), still can give an idea about how the things go:

PS. Impressive run for Checo in FP3, I didn't expect him to surpass Leclerc.

Ah, that's a first time I've heard about this budget roof, so F1 also isn't immune to financial caps and regulations. Thought only football was the one playing dirty. So there IS a limit to how much you can spend on repairs caused by a race, yes? And what happens when that budget's hit? They can't repair the car and the team has to retire?

Oh and I think Lewie paid more for being there. Just a guess though.

Looks like there will be a delay in the start of FP3 because of a crash and they need to finish repairing the wall inwhich an incident occurred in F2.

Qualifying later on today so can't wait for that to see who start in pole position for Sunday's race.
