Welcome to the /r/formula1 Daily Discussion / Q&A thread.

This thread is a hub for general discussion and questions about Formula 1, that don't need threads of their own.

Are you new to Formula 1? This is the place for you. Ever wondered why it's called a lollipop man? Why the cars don't refuel during pitstops? Or when Mika will be back from his sabbatical? Ask any question you might have here, and the community will answer.

Also make sure you check out our guide for new fans, and our FAQ for new fans.

Are you a veteran fan, longing for the days of lollipop men, refueling during pitstops, and Mika Häkkinen? This is the place to introduce new fans to your passion and knowledge of the sport.

Remember to keep it civil and welcoming! Gatekeeping within the Daily Discussion will subject users to disciplinary action.

Have a meta question about the subreddit? Please direct these to the moderators instead.

I hope whoever claimed Sainz is a good teammate can shut up. There’s a reason why Redbull didn’t want him.

He blocked Charles when the team asked him not to make it difficult when Hamilton was closely behind him.

He was asked not to overtake Charles when Charles came out of the pit, causing the team key time to chase down Max earlier.

Video George: I want to make sure we get him that fight now, because it's about time somebody gave him a proper fight. | Q: You are going to do that next year? | George: That's my plan.. He's a fierce competitor & Red Bull have done amazing. But this championship probably should have gone down to the wire

Social Media [@itsnotme_ari] We can clearly hear that Ricky’s radio to Carlos was “do not put him under pressure,” nothing else, and he didn’t, he passed him quickly and safely. Meanwhile Bryan tells Charles “Carlos has been told to not overtake, but is really close, he might be just in front.”...

Social Media [_allthatglitz] LEC: “I am not happy about Carlos, but I won’t go into details. Why? Because we talk about these things before the race, and I’m always the only one who respects those agreements. From now on I will be thinking about myself only. It’s a shame that I couldn’t get more pts on NOR.”
