Damn the mercs were quick at the end. We genuinely have 4 teams capable of winning
Mercedes have the opportunity to do something quite funny here.
Go ric!
Fuck yeah. Do they play the Star Spangled Banner if he wins a race, since he's basically American at this point?
Yuki NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :(
~~Are the stewards going to investigate that latest incident between Russell and Piastri? Seemed an unforced error from Russell, if you ask me. 5 second penalty, perhaps?~~
Edit: I said it!
I felt piastri was the one who bought his elbows out. Usually the car on the inside yields if they are behind in that corner
But doesn't the ruling also depend on who's ahead going into the braking?
Yeah. In this case both George and piastri were level. Giving a pen to either of them feels idiotic. Was just hard racing
Norris needs to get back and give drs to piastri.
I'm here for a ham podium!
How can Piastri's tires be one lap older than Max's, didn't they pit on the same lap?
Used in quali, maybe?
No more probably used in a FP session. Tyres used in quali usually have 3 laps on them - outlap + quali lap + inlap
Yeah I think that's it, because I believe FP and quali are included in tyre age calculations when shown on the broadcast.
RB has got to be questioning their decision to re-sign that guy.
Red Bull have been making bad decision after bad decision since the horner sexual harrasment scandal. I think jos was right and the team is in disarray due to internal dissatisfaction with the investigation as well as all the politics going on
Imagine a timeline where Jos Verstappen is actually right. What an embarrassment...
My god is this race delivering - drama, overtakes, crashes everything
We need sprinklers randomly going off on all tracks.
We almost got road hazzards with the ballsy groundhogs popping up
Bernie?!
Pfft if you did that at Monaco, literally no one would finish. You'd have a Talladega Nights-esque ending where the drivers have to get out of the wreck and footrace to the chequered flag.
Hell wasn't far off what happened in Monaco '96. Only 3 classified finishers at that race.
I'd watch that..
I think it'd be hilarious, but Yuki wouldn't have a chance because he's so short.
ALBON NO
Just isn't Williams' year this year π

It never is.
Sainz nooooooo!
I sense a safety car
And there it is.
You called it.
Jeez Perez. Knocked the crap out of the rear of his car.
Perez you bellend...
Jeebuz..
He's no longer a serious driver. Change my mind. Bring in Liam Lawson.
Tsunoda should be one if anybody in the RB family gets the seat
I agree, but I don't know that he'd be allowed to switch teams mid-season.
Also, he's not the one bringing in the millions from Mexico
Well he is contracted to red Bull so they move him around within their teams in anyway they want. Remember gasly and albon, max and kvyat
I just wasn't aware of what rules Formula 1 had surrounding mid-season team switches. I only really got into F1 a few years ago, so...
As long as all the parties are in agreement, there is no rules against drivers moving teams mid season. Sainz has moved teams mid season (Toro Rosso to renault) before and we also had de vries being let off last year and replaced with Danny ric
Russell and Norris fighting each other is helping max big time
When the track dries up a bit more, max could be in trouble.
I wouldn't be so sure. I think Norris lost a lot of pace after his last pit.
