So the tires were not defective and the teams followed the manufacturer specs. But they don't know why it happened? Am I missing something here?

No, you're right. Pirelli is covering their self. If RB and AM ran them at spec, which they say they did, there was a tire failure. Not much else to do unless this is repeated at another circuit; if that happens, hold on to your hats.

Official ruling tire blew out! Confused as well to the explanation.

Seems clear their engineers we're wrong about the limits of the tire and they won't come out and say it.

French Grand Prix at Paul Ricard Week

Mercedes looking to return to form with BOT and HAM taking 1, 2 in FP1

Alpine looking good so far with Ocon and Alonso taking 5, 7 in FP1

I've been catching up on FP1 and FP2 and it reminded me that if you are new to the sport, make sure to watch the practice sessions.

There is much more time for "educational" commentary that goes into the cars, drivers, tracks, etc. During the race, they don't have time to go into the small details and are focusing on the race itself.

There is an ESPN Today segment on Formula One that came out on Friday called "Formula 101: Everything You Need to Know About F1". Check it out.

Was not expecting a red flag in qualifying today. Three race weekends in a row with red flag during qualifying.

Brilliant line that dude took to the apex. He's lucky he didn't wipe the car out on that bollard.

Red flags in qualifying have been insane this year.

Yeah. That is unfortunate. Hearing stroll on the radio there at the end, sounded like he had not been paying attention and was sort of putting around the track.

That's a shame of a start. I was looking forward to the cat and mouse of Max/RB trying to hold off HamBot

Great stop by RB put Max our front. Not sure it will last.

This is getting interesting with the pit strategy

First time Perez has been in the mix during one of these strategy battles so Mercedes can't just gang up on Verstappen

Doesn't seem like Max will have enough.

Think it depends on how well Bottas holds him up
cap-n-jack
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Nice pass by Max.
WhoopN06
How long do you want to ignore this user?
I was wrong. He's going to be able to make a big run at Lewis now.
cap-n-jack
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Bottas. He mad.
WhoopN06
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Wow. Lewis saved those tires and is able to find some pace at the end.

Great race. Good day for RB.

Love seeing the teamwork/chemistry between Verstappen and Perez. They both want to knock off Mercedes.

Not sure how Bottas handles being in the position he is.
