F1 news and stories on Monday were about a Horner documentary, twelve points scorers, another Asian race, tensions within the team and passing honeymoons.
Of course, Monday’s news was also determined by the Chinese F1 round left behind, as we were able to report on several news, stories and statements related to the Shanghai race weekend, such as the statement of Zhou, who appeared on the home track, who talked about how he felt in the car to hear the tens of thousands who live him.
Aston Martin team principal Mike Krack has expressed his belief that Lance Stroll’s penalty for a crash during the first safety car phase – which helped Daniel Ricciardo win the title of most nervous man of the weekend – was premature and too harsh.
We talked about this incident, among many others, in tonight’s episode of our news background show called Pitwall, which you can watch here:
Yesterday, we were able to report that the number of points scorers could be increased from ten to twelve, and now it seems that the idea may gain the support of the majority of the team bosses – the big question, however, is who will support the idea that the management of the sport would bring a grand prix to another Asian venue.
Two former world champions also made an interesting statement: Nico Rosberg pointed out that Fred Vasseur must hold his two drivers firmly so that the team’s emotions do not get out, while Damon Hill spoke about the situation of the Silver Arrows: according to him, they only understand the feeling of the new generation cars the honeymoon of Toto Wolff and Mercedes is over.
In our FormulaPlusz column, we published two articles today, in one of which we summarized the most important statistical points of interest from the Chinese F1 weekend, including Norris’ and Hülkenberg’s top settings – and while Hülkenberg, our colleague interviewed the German driver’s team boss, Ayao Komatsu, who said, among other things, that he managed to convince Gene Haas that it was worth investing more money in the stable.
Red Bull consultant Helmut Marko said that both Norris and Piastri are on the radar of the energy drinkers, even if there is no chance of signing them in the short term, and Valtteri Bottas praised Fernando Alonso, and he does not rule out the possibility that he will reach his mid-forties compete.

The strangest story of the day is related to Christian Horner and his wife, Geri, about whom, according to a British tabloid, a series similar to the Netflix production looking into the private life of the Beckham couple may be made – Horner, however, denies the knowledge.
As for stories outside of F1: world rally champion Ott Tanak spoke about how F1 is an expensive sport and people like to follow expensive things, Scott Dixon won a tactical victory on the streets of Long Beach, and Marc Marquez is reminded of the greatest classics by MotoGP’s super rookie , Pedro Acosta.
