Lots of contentious issues...
- Binotto has been seriously rumoured to be on the way out and replaced by Fred Vasseur. Ferrari issued a strong denial, that probably means it's true (LOL). I mean what do you do with Ferrari starting with the best car and yet running out of upgrade money too soon, constantly messing up strategy, sending their #1 guy as the only guy on the wrong tire for quali, constant fumbles... Also the reason Leclerc was asking to swap position with Sainz for driver points, was because they had agreed to do so before the race - not a petulant last second request... It was doable too, a Ferrari can still hold off an Alpine, please.. Leclerc has bit his tongue many times, to his credit...

- Gasly actually did try to get 2 penalty points by a) exceeding pit lane limit and b) leaving too much room during the safety car, and both times the directors did not penalize him - it's hysterical considering he got BS penalties before for the same infractions, but when it would help him him to get points off, he cannot get them to punish him.. FIA consistent as usual !

- Stroll, I mean, come on ? Are they waiting till he kills someone? Honestly I think so. I can't wait to see "teammate killer" Alonso and Stroll get together on track !

- Alonso talking $hit about Ocon after actually being mostly to blame for the side contact and 100% to blame for hitting him again in a straight line and getting a penalty, saying he can't wait for this partnership to be over and to drive the green car- this coming from the guy who was rescued from retirement by Alpine.. I respect the driver talent and ruthlessness, and he did have bad luck mechanically vs Ocon, but did he EVER leave one team without acrimony, ever ?

- Schumacher appears to be out and replaced with Hulk. That is an odd one, replacing an up and coming driver that has been improving race after race and carries a big name and sponsors, with someone who has many many chances and never won a race. Is this really a step up? If you're gonna do that, pick an F2 driver like Pourchaire ?

- RE: end of Checo and Max bromance - If it's really about Monaco you'd have thought Max would have gotten over it by now, as he's received quite some help from Perez since...Very odd! Apparently the data trace does confirm Perez did it on purpose in monte carlo, wonder if it's too late for a penalty (like when schumi did it)!
