I remember their double retirement in Austria last year. Today was next level though, more on the drivers than the team, but the 50+ second pit stop when Hamilton came into the pits was also pretty funny. Here it is with appropriate music 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just feel bad for the mechanic who somehow seems to have hurt his back. Poor bloke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love it because it looks like they are actually putting a lot of effort to find out what the fans think/want and adjust their future plans accordingly. An interesting example - in their current framework of the new 2021 regulations FIA mentions a study showing that with the liveries removed fans and even expert have trouble identifying cars and want to address that in the new design rules - that's the study that has actually been carried on the Fan Voice and I took part as well; I think I only got 4 or 5 right too. They also asked fans' opinion about penalising drivers in certain situations this season (Seb/Hamilton in Canada; Seb/Max in Silverstone; Max/Leclerc in Austria; Perez leaving the track in France etc.) and whether it's just a coincidence or not but the stewards have been much more lenient recently so it does at least make you think that they care about what fans think. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, have you seen this "health update" on Schumi? Apparently he watched a race with Jean Todt. How and to what extend, nobody knows, but it all does sound a bit encouraging, and not as totally grim as other reports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope he's doing better... I understand people wanting to know how he's doing but I think the family does great in keeping it completely private. It's better for the fans to keep alive the image of Schumi how he used to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know ladbible isn't the most reliable source, but I read it on German websites too. It's quite recent. https://www.ladbible.com/news/sport-former-ferrari-boss-says-michael-schumacher-keeps-fighting-20190730 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
