Haas were one of mine :weary:

That’ll be an expensive weekend. Double -15 from quali and another double -15 from today! :grimacing: :grimacing:

Yep :sob:

I just looked and you also have Nico as a driver too, so that’ll be 2 lots of triple -15! Ouch. :joy:

Yeah, had him too.
Not a good week

Apparently esteban is out of the race now aswell

Yep, broken car

The most enjoyable aspect of this race so far is that the only red bull that is been mentioned is Perez.

Monaco is always pretty boring. The only interest we ever get is if there are incidents creating chaos.

Agreed Monaco is more about qualifying than the race.

What do people reckon then.
Will Alpine bench Ocon in Canada?

Ocon’s decision to make a bold attempt at a pass put not just one but both cars at risk unnecessarily – and it especially irked both Gasly and the Alpine senior management because a clear instruction to work together had been issued before the Grand Prix.

Seems like this isn’t just a silly move made by Ocon, but a direct contradiction of the teams instructions for that day. It wouldn’t surprise me if he is benched. Alpine hasn’t confirmed their 2025 drivers AFAIK, so it might give them a chance to try out a suitable replacement.

Yeah apparently there were team orders to hold position in the race, or at least as the start.

I’ve seen chatter that it’s not all happy in camp between him and the team so very much expect him to be not driving with them next year.
If they did bench him it would send a strong message, maybe put Jack Doohan in and see how he does.

I have just seen that they said ocon will still race in Canada

Been confirmed now he’s out of Alpine end of the season

Interesting, I wonder who will get the seat, they don’t have the car to attract a big hitter.

Maybe jack dohan?

I suspect so

I also don’t really see a seat for Ocon elsewhere, he’s not good enough for Merc and even if he is Sainz is a better option for any seat that comes up.

I think it’s going to be tough for him to find anywhere else after showing a couple times now he can’t play the team game.

Yuki could be another one for the alpine seat. Back with his best mate.
