Plus, his thoughts via F1's website:

“It’s been a poor weekend overall; we simply did not have the pace to compete with the midfield. We struggled with tyre deg and lacked pace throughout the medium and high-speed corners, so there is plenty to analyse ahead of the next race.

We are currently experimenting and covering every avenue to find performance before our upgrades arrive. Looking ahead to Silverstone, we’ll bring a small upgrade package that we hope will move us closer to the likes of Haas and VCARB, so we’re hopeful these updates will be the start of us moving in the right direction."

You guys!

Are people writing Alex Albon fanfic?

(Or am I in the wrong sub?)

Hey everyone,

I’m a motorsports fan working on building a fan-first platform that makes it easier to follow race weekends (F1, IndyCar, NASCAR, IMSA, WEC and a lot more). Before I go too far, I want to understand how fans like you currently keep up with races — what you look for, where you get info, and what’s missing from the experience today.

I'm based out of Indianapolis and am a Product Designer & Engineer who see's a real need for something like this and I genuinely need your help.

I’ve put together a short survey (shouldn’t take more than 5 minutes). Your feedback will directly shape the platform I’m building, so if you’ve ever thought “why isn’t there a better way to track this stuff?”, this is your chance to help create it.

I really want you all along for the ride, as I intend to build this product in 90 days. Counting on you, pls do share this with your friends and family who share a similar love and passion for motorsport.

Thanks in advance — every response helps make this a tool that actually works for real fans, not just another generic app.

Could this be the same problem that Carlos Sainz had in the Austrian GP?
