Wouldn’t it be ironic if this is the first in a string of such incidents and they have to cancel the GP due to track issues?

Looking at the layoffs at the AAA publishers I wouldn’t bet on it.
Let’s see them actually release something before getting excited, now it’s just cheap publicity
It’s one GP I’m going to skip, everything about that weekend is just a publicity stunt and money grab. Not how you gain fans imho
Amen to that
Danny’s car also had a failure, his brake duct broke pretty early in the race.
Too bad, he did his best with a one stop. But rules are rules, and harsh penalties are there to discourage intentional lowering the ride height.
Maybe also don’t do sprint races on bumpy tracks, or even better not at all.

Time will tell, other than the name I don’t see much impact
Good for him, hope he gets a solid race
They really put the words in his mouth, but in the end he is agreeing with the statement.
Shameful from FOM to even allow the race to go ahead, let alone complete with so many complaining about the heat. Zonlicht for safety first.
Let’s hope McLaren can built on this year and not have a start like this year.
It still irks me that people think those upset by the 2021 finale are so because Hamilton didn’t get his 8the world title. In all fairness, Red Bull made the right call to pit at the SC, and if the race would have restarted correctly would have had a fair shot at winning.
Problem is that Massi threw away the rulebook by letting only the cars between Hamilton and Verstappen overtake. If he wanted an epic last 4 lap, then red flag the race, let everyone change tires and see two of the greatest drivers ever in F1 duke it out on track.
Now we got a sour end to an epic season, with many people turned off by the sport and there will always be a footnote with Max’s first WDC.
Just don’t watch your socials, I even switch off the radio when the news is on.

They issued a statement that he will not race, no mention of a replacement.
I don’t think they have any other valid options currently, who could they sign at the moment? RBR has made Max their number 1 to such an extend that nobody could compete in that team. So the pilots that can compete with Max seem to rather stay at their own teams, hoping that they will close the gap sooner or later and actually fight with Max. The drivers that aren’t able to compete know that it is career suicide as they will compare badly against max and moving back to a back marker team might be a very cold shower after driving a race winning car. And RBR has all but ended their driver academy, so no new talent will be flowing in from that pool either (and looking at the last 3 guys sacked by Marko, who would want to).
The only possibility seems to be Ricciardo, but he might not be back up in time.
Not another street circuit
