WDC is very nice, but it is Ferrari who needs to be champion. WCC is what it's all about.

Agree!

[gump1480]

That top speed of Honda is worrying, 10km/hr up on Ferrari.

It's not Honda it's Newey...that RB is super slippery car especially when the DRS opens.

[458 Italia]

The fact that Russell was fastest despite being 12kmh down on Perez's red bull is concerning.

[Brembo]

I don't care about constructors. It's in a twisted way even better if we don't win it as it would mean more time in the wind tunnel... All I care is the WDC and we should do everything for it. Meaning even setting a clear number 1 and 2 driver like in the Schumi years.

WDC is everything for sure .A clear 1 & 2 driver is where it's at. Look at Shumy @ Merc! 1 podium in 3 seasons.

+1 X 10!

[Kyss4k]

Agree!

I don't wanna question your opinion, but you mean that year 2008 ment more for you than if let's say Leclerc won WDC this year but the team fell short on Redbull?

[Tifoso Svedese]

I'd take the WDC over WCC ten times over. Sorry if it offends anyone.

I genuinely doubt you lot who say this were wildly celebrating in 1999 and 2008 when Irvine and Massa fell short in those agonizing manners.

[FerrariF60]

WCC over WDC any day of the week for me....

WCC shows how strong the team is......so its first and foremost for me

Wdc is nice too.....but but I root for the team first as always.....drivers come and go and only the best ones get remembered the most

[tifosi1993]

WDC and WCC are both equally important but people value WDC way more than WCC. Driver's championship is always the main draw over constructor's championship. I'd say nearly 99% of F1 viewership cares about Driver vs Driver over Constructor vs Constructor.

That's why many Ferrari fans consider 2008 to be painful even when Ferrari won the WCC, myself included. Same way, Red Bull-Max is the net winner of last year's championship even if Mercedes won the WCC.

For me, WDC is the main title. So if Charles wins the WDC but Ferrari fails to win the WCC, I wouldn't be upset.

Indeed.

Ferrari raises the flag at Maranello when a Ferrari driver wins the race. They don't raise the flag and churches don't ring the bells when Ferrari drivers score P2 and P3 in a race.

[Noquarter]

With this Spanish clown Ferrari will not win anything.

Agreed. A WCC without the WDC feels a bit like a defeat. It suggests the car was capable, but the driver didn't deliver.

Watches have been added to the jewelry ban. Drivers can face up to a $265,000 fine.

Note: Lewis has had a 2 race exemption from the FIA to remove all his jewelry from his facial area. #entitledSirLewis #TheBlessedOne.

[SS454]

I used to go into quali day wondering if a Ferrari has a shot at pole position. Now I am thinking will either of the Ferrari drivers put it in the wall.

One rule for him, one rule for everyone else.

[PURE PASSION]

Its quite odd that while yesterday we saw from the laps of mini race sim the drivers did in the end of FP2 ,that Lec was about 3-4 tenths /lap faster then Perez, now AMuS and motorsport say that Parez was 0.01/lap faster ??????? And in FP2 Lec reached 334 and Perez 336 and still they say that we are 10 km/h slower on straights. And for all this they claim that RBR is the favorite ????

[SFTifoso]

One rule for him, one rule for everyone else.

Of course! He’s only had 2 months to remove that crap from face, but we have to hear how oppressed he is. There’s people in the world with real struggles. The FIA telling him to stop wearing jewelry is not a struggle. Then you have these people “well they wore blood type metal bracelets in the 70s blah blah” That’s cause it was the freaking 70s! They had unpredictable bombs for engines.

[jgonzalesm6]

Michelle Obama down at Mercedes.

[Aziz]

Max is super fast out of the box

[458 Italia]

Red flag Ocon crashes.

It's all well and good shortening the practice sessions but how are teams supposed to work when the red flag comes out every 5 minutes!?

[jgonzalesm6]

Esteban Ocon has crashed at turn 14. The same corner as Sainz yesterday

[tifosi1993]

Top speed is down. Below 320 today. Ferrari really not pushing the engine, yet.

[KingCharles]

It's not Honda it's Newey...that RB is super slippery car especially when the DRS opens.

So explain how AT has a higher top speed?

[KingCharles]

WDC is very nice, but it is Ferrari who needs to be champion. WCC is what it's all about.

lol thats. F1 has ALWAYS been about the WDC

[jgonzalesm6]

Yuki Tsunoda......height 4ft 9in and weighs 100lbs.....

[jgonzalesm6]

Love JPM at the commentary.

[458 Italia]

Car seems to be sliding a lot.

They all are. Can't get the tyres in the window by the looks of things

Though we are still a second up on Mercedes despite that
