MODERATORS
He's had a lot of bad luck this season, but i feel his drives have gone under the radar a bit. He's in a new team and has been more or less on the same racepace as Ocon from the get-go. Very interested to see how the fight between the two develops.
Shouldn't he get a penalty for unsafe release? He almost crashed into Stroll. Why was there no mention of this from race control?
Gasly and Leclerc both looked like they should have gotten unsafe release penalties. I guess the stewards decided to be lenient considering the chaos in the pits.
Rare mistake by Alonsoβ¦
BS penalty for Hamilton
Fully deserved imo
5sec definitely seems excessive.
100%. Epitome of racing incident. Perez could barely keep it on the track. That was bs.
Hmm, I dunnoβ¦ I can see it being ruled a racing incident because the action wasnβt that bad. But he dis understeer into an opponent, damaging his car, and ruining this race.
It seems like the judged the outcome more so than the action itself.
Perez was already nursing a problem, if anyone was driving dangerously it was him.
Agreed - WTF was that about - nothing happened to any of the cars, it was racing.
Hamilton knocked a lump out of the Red Bull. How you can claim a penalty isn't deserved is beyond me.
5 Seconds is a bit of a joke considering they were alongside in the corner and the track conditions π
Ricciardo in the points π€―π€―
Edit: no more :(
Checo floundering and Danny Ric in the points in an Alpha Tauri. I think we all know what thoughts are going through Helmut's head right now.
Still not too bad of a drive! He definitely had more pace than Yuki.
Please, please no repeat of 2021.
If this is the threshold for the amount of spray to race then we'll never see a full wet race again.
That wasnt a 5s penalty lol
How many caps does a formula1 driver have? Feels like they're handed a new one every five seconds
I'm wondering if Piastri would have had a better chance if he delayed the restart until the start/finish straight.
probably not: Spa is always great for the overtaker due to the long straight into and after eau rouge. McLaren is also running very strong wings which hurts their performance on the straights (but helps during e.g. rainy qualifyings....).
Realistically, if there is any chance of overtaking at all, Verstappen can overtake just due to less drag on the straights.
Great strategy from McLaren. Interested to see how things work out with no DRS for Max.
Gasly got a huge jump. Finally a W for Alpine. Sainz got shafted unfortunately.
Why was that great strategy? It was the only thing they could do?
Those spray reducing wheel arches can't come soon enough.
I thought the test they did with them didn't work? Didn't Williams do a test at Silverstone with them?
Most bullshit penalty I've seen in a long time.
Perez π
Is there anywhere I can watch the race? I have Fubo and their DVR sucks and when schedules change it doesnβt change the recording time. I got an hour of college football and SportsCenter π
Wtf is that penalty?
While we wait, thought I'd share this from the stream:
World focking champion
Thatβs awesome - he would fook smash his way through π
