Deception
(30%)
The article contains selective reporting as it only reports details that support the author's position. For example, in the case of Ferrari, the author focuses on their mistakes and poor performance in Montreal while ignoring their progress throughout the season. Similarly, for Mercedes, the author highlights their encouraging results despite being miles away from title contention. This selective reporting skews the reader's perception of these teams' performances.

The contrast between Perez limping his mangled car back to the pits while Verstappen headed for victory was a stark one.
Yet, Verstappen took the opportunity to pit for a new set of intermediates during the first safety car, and took the lead as Norris was forced to do another lap behind the safety car before swapping tyres.
But it could’ve been a different story. He tailed Russell for much of the first part of the race and when a dry line formed he seemed to be building up a pass for the lead , but a mistake at Turn 1 cost him three seconds and dropped him into the hands of Lando Norris.
Fallacies
(85%)
The article contains several informal fallacies and appeals to authority. The author makes subjective judgments about the performance of teams and drivers, labeling some as 'losers' and others as 'winners.' This is an appeal to emotion and a way of taking sides without providing objective evidence. The author also uses hyperbole when describing Ferrari's performance in Montreal as a 'bafflingly bad outlier in a season of so much progress.' This is an exaggeration and not based on factual evidence. Additionally, the author makes assumptions about Ferrari's chances for second place in the constructors' championship and Leclerc's title challenge without providing any data or evidence to support these claims. The author also quotes other sources, such as team boss Bruno Famin, as authorities on the situation between Alpine's drivers. This is an appeal to authority fallacy.
It all allows McLaren to take a big chunk out of Ferrari’s advantage for second in the constructors’ championship and makes any faint hopes Leclerc might have had of a drivers’ title challenge look like an even longer shot.

No team walks away from Montreal with more head-scratching to do about lost performance than Ferrari and the weekend stands out as a bafflingly bad outlier in a season of so much progress.
But poor races are very much the exception for Sainz whereas they’re just a norm for Sargeant.
So while Alpine collected valuable points in Canada, it’s also further disillusioned Ocon – who was publicly admonished by team boss Bruno Famin after the intra-team incident in Monaco – and further strained the already fraught relationship between its two drivers.
Ferrari had a miserable Sunday that featured very few bright patches.
Bias
(80%)
The article contains multiple instances of bias towards certain teams and drivers. The author uses language that depicts some teams as 'losers' and others as 'winners', creating a clear distinction between the two. This is an example of ideological bias, as the author seems to have a preference for some teams over others. Additionally, there are examples of disproportionate quotations reflecting negative opinions about Ferrari and positive opinions about Mercedes.
But it could’ve been a different story.
He tailed Russell for much of the first part of the race and when a dry line formed he seemed to be building up a pass for the lead
If you thought qualifying 11th and 12th would be the nadir of the Monaco GP winners’ Canadian hangover you’d be badly mistaken.
In this case that was both the error that sent him down a run-off early in the race and his eventual crash out of it.
It feels like at some point every weekend there’s a Logan Sargeant laptime that deserves an appreciative nod for how it compares to highly-rated Williams team-mate Alex Albon, especially when factoring in any equipment disparity between them. And it also feels like those momentary bright spots will soon be followed by evidence of why Sargeant is so clearly on his way out of this team and F1 and will probably be lucky if he completes the season before that happens.
It justified its decision by saying Ocon - who made his frustration clear both over the radio and to the media after the race - had a suspected power unit issue that meant the team was more confident about Gasly attacking Ricciardo.
