Same. Literally only pure thing is Zhou getting those points for Sauber.

Glad I am definitely out at the football next Sunday which kicks off at same time as lights out because right now I need the winter break from F1. Feels almost as bad as 2021 right now with vibes, worse in some ways considering how much has gone bad/toxic across multiple teams/drivers etc.
 
I just has a thought. Ben Sulayem did an interview today saying he doesn't care about the drivers complains and that he will do what he wants at the FIA.
One of the stewards fired last week also said that he sometimes interfer with the stewards decision.
Isn't it his way to show the drivers that he can do whatever he wants and has power over them?

* i am full in conspiracy théorie 😂 I know this is probably just a coincidence but the timing is strange 😂

Looking back Max got a penalty earlier in the season for the same thing as Lando and that’s was just a 5 second penalty 🤦‍♀️

new race director and it seems the FIA is not taking it kind that teams and drivers are speaking out about their chaos. Luckily only one more race and hopeful they will re think their penalties for Australia next year

to me it seems even though Toto is acting as if he is not moved by this, he is still not over Lewis leaving and is bitter AF
it all seems a bit passive agressive there in Merc

Not to go on about 2021 but it never felt like they had his back after that. I truly hope Ferrari is the perfect ending for Lewis. Even if it’s not another championship I just hope they respect him in the way Mercedes clearly has not the last year or so.

I think out of few people that were fired lately, it was said that he did not like their reviews/comments/something and that was a "myterious" cause of firing them, I am totally pro conspiracy theory there 😬

Let’s be honest, Lewis 25 exit screwed Toto‘s Kimi 26 plans over and the announcement was too late to get his hands on Lando - he will have a rockie and George in the car, and three strong rivals driver pairings which sets Mercedes back on a 4th position track 🤫

Wouldn't surprise me somehow. Even though it's their own fault for starting the season so slowly.

I am waiting to see what Stella will say tonight. He is always really quick to point the drivers faults (especially Lando lately) but never take any responsability when it was a strategy mess up
 
Also Pérez is under Investigation - lets see if we get some carried over penalties with the way FIA is managing this

going to watch Ted’s notebook for sure tonight if he has anymore to add

I'm just trying to avoid it all. I just haven't got the mental capacity to deal with more F1/FIA/McLaren bullshit
