I didn't watch it, but who is the source of the video?
If its not the FIA, then I would assert its only speculation.

Please one of you F1 inside guys or someone that follows it closely, post what the FIA has to say after the full investigation. With the remains of the car, and all the sensor readouts and full access to all the video they will not be speculating. It will be much like an airplane crash.

The full report will *likely* remain confidential at the level of technical directors and FIA safety committee. We can expect something like this to be made available publicly, following the F2 accident last year: https://www.fia.com/news/fia-concludes-investigation-formula-2-accident-spa-francorchamps
The usual no-BS race report, including what went wrong with the pitstop:

^Brilliant video.
I love the explanation of the sensor issues and the resolution. Russell having to deal with that in the way he did makes his performance even more impressive. The double-stack radio issue was also fascinating. Talk about an improbably issue, sheesh. Kudos to Allison for standing behind his guys in how they worked through the stops.

I have no doubt that Mercedes has already designed and implemented a solution for the radio issue.

Hammy is driving this weekend. News just announced.
Normal service resumed. No more Mercedes F-ups in the pits. And certainly no more fun or a reason to watch. I'll set the DVR again and get to it if the mode strikes.

Question (that I honestly don't know the answer to): Why did James Allison leave Ferrari? I know the public statements, but I also know they were total bunk.

If you have not seen it, Sainz and norris looks back on the past 2 years as muppets... They're really good buddies, it's nice to see especially considering the toxic culture of McLaren's past. They're cool now...

I’m getting tired of the “it must be a conspiracy” attitude. The simplest answer is usually the best. In this case quick call, overlapped communication leads to a screw up.
Oh wait, I know. HAM called from his hotel and told Toto to throw a monkey wrench into Russel’s. Yeah, that’s the ticket.

Anyone else see Hamilton's outfit when he showed up at Yas Marina?
 I think I know who's closet he has been raiding

This may be the most fun driver lineup on the grid. They are arguing over the pronunciation of Mariah Carey. Carlos says in Spanish it is Maria Caree
Its like two 8th grade boys

Came across this analysis of the Grosjean shunt. The images are stunning. Seb and Danny Ric should look away.
