There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Absolute stupidity!
The only way the FIA seem to try and 'spice up' the series is to stifle engine development (especially for Honda) via idiotic penalties.
It doesn't keep costs down as the heavy hitters never make much noise about spending and simply charge like wounded bulls for supplying the lesser teams with 'customer' engines.
With penalties applied, the provisional grid is as follows: Hamilton, Stroll; Ocon, Bottas; Raikkonen, Vettel; Massa, Vandoorne; Perez, Kvyat; Magnussen, Ericsson; Wehrlein, Verstappen; Hulkenberg, Sainz; Ricciardo, Palmer; Alonso, Grosjean.
Probable race day scenario: Turn 1 Lap 1, Stroll and Ocon straight ahead, followed for the next 10 laps or so by much overtaking from Verstappen, Ricciardo, Alonso and Grosjean...........
As for Stroll, impressive in such a pig of a car and it's handy to be 'Lucky', but better to be 'Good and Lucky'.
'Formula 1' needs to look long and hard at the MotoGP and the WSBK scene, DORNA have regulations in place limiting the number of complete engines over a season, but they are far less draconian.
Must be mortifying for Verstappen and Ricciardo to drive the wheels off the car in streaming (and dangerous) conditions to reach the front of the grid only to be relegated to the rear by a beauracratic decision by non-racers.
Time for my medication.
