That virtual safety car was very delayed. Cars passed him while Nico was out of the car

McLaren will mess this up it seems.

Edit : They came mighty close to messing it up

Did they really just wait with the VSC until Norris took 1st place?

Wow, and they ended it in the last lap, this is fucking ridiculous.

Somewhere Michael Masi is smiling.

Yeah the timing seemed very suspect. Nico was getting out of the car when the swap was going on

It feels very manipulated, I'm not sure what changed when it was yellow flag for like 3 laps and then they change to VSC seconds after Norris overtakes. It's not even about the points, it just took out all the action.

While I do not condone any suggestions of it being manipulated, there has to be question why Nico was put under risk for 2 laps. Very poor by race control considering how much safety takes the centre stage these days

The last part felt super manipulated.

And a VSC infringement for Max on top. I don't even know how this could be more obviously manipulated lmao

Formula 1 is loosing its credits in my book. Another shitshow with Herbert in the steward's office.

No, Michael!!! No!!

Where is Lawson vs Perez? TV direction? Hello?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

The top 4 were like not even 2 seconds apart, including the WDC and WCC competitors, of course they're gonna focus on that instead of the last point lol

That late VSC is super sus. Hulk's car was pretty close to the track and that's a genuine safety concern.

Verstappen was under investigation for a VSC infringement. Keeping an eye out for that.

Other than that, plenty of good clean racing in the sprint. Top 4 were glued to each other.

Never though I would see max cheering Charles when he is right in front of him

The team orders just seem a bit desperate. Lando is only mathematically in the driver's championship, just let the races play out.
