F1 2024 - 24 Rounds of Street Circuit Thrillers

[Waffdon]

Verstappen will surely have to put a worldie in here to finish P1. McLaren been 0.2 clear all weekend

[Waffdon]

Rain in 5 mins again. All on the first run then

[Adramelch]

You're consistently putting too much emphasis on free practice.

[Waffdon]

That should be that. Beautiful

[Waffdon]

You're consistently putting too much emphasis on free practice.

Clearly not

[Adramelch]

I guess not in this race, but throughout the season. It's not that it doesn't mean anything of course, but it's not usually indicative of what's what.

[Waffdon]

I’m not sure. McLaren have clearly been fastest overall the past few months and have normally always been up there.

Could Yuki not have crashed 20 seconds later so we can finally celebrate a McLaren 1-2

[Gray Fox]

Liam Lawson intensifies.

[Waffdon]

Would be the most mclaren thing ever to lose pole because of a red flag with 2 mins left meaning they all get another run

Thank fuck Verstappen isn’t going back out

[Gray Fox]

This is good from McLaren. Instructing your drivers to race them to the line to stop their laps.

Crofty not understanding they have no new tyres so it's all kind of pointless.

[Waffdon]

mclarens to be fighting each other and Verstappen to swoop on by. Seen the script already

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Lando's throttle having issues...


Don't you fucking dare.

[Waffdon]

:D

Standard. All in on Piastri

[John Arne]

Not a fan of this track. Way too narrow, awful second half of the track, and a bit too short.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Using tape on the car, fucking hell.

[Shindig]

Hey, it works for planes. These are upside down planes.

[Gray Fox]

Not a fan of this track. Way too narrow, awful second half of the track, and a bit too short.

I think this one is great. Cars a little big for it these days but it always shreds tyres and gives safety cars. 2/3 stopper today with the track being completely green again.

[Gray Fox]

Max still up at 3am local time sim racing has caused Rosberg to have a whinge. The coward needs off my screen.

[Waffdon]

I quite like him. Says it how it is

[Waffdon]

Starting on softs is bold on this surface

[Pepe]

Iracing's 24 hours of Spa > yet another F1 race

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Max into the wall early please.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Surely he has to give the place back?

[Adramelch]

Norris with a horrendous start once again.

[Waffdon]

Mate he’s so fucking dogshit starting

[Pepe]

Norris. :harold:

Verstappen should give like 5 positions there, come on.

[Waffdon]

Might actually suit McLaren with Piastri in front tbf

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Norris. :harold:

Verstappen should give like 5 positions there, come on.

It's mental that Red Bull didn't order him to give 2 or 3 back.

[Waffdon]

Cheeky 5 second penalty for Verstappen please.

[Pepe]

Give him a fucking stop and go. Stewards way too fucking soft. You cannot just be leaving the track and lolling your way right back.

[Gray Fox]

At this point it's worth more for Max to take the penalty.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Should still give the prick a 5s penalty.

He gained more than one place.

[Adramelch]

He was 3rd when he went off to be fair. I think that's when position matters.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

He's such a moany little bitch.

Fucking Karen.

[Waffdon]

Piastri should be laughing here now as he should get priority with the pit stops now assuming he doesn’t destroy his tyres

[John Arne]

Bore off, Max.

[Pepe]

Bring back sand.

[Waffdon]

Tasty odds for Piastri. 3/1 somehow

[Adramelch]

Should positions hold as they are (which they probably won't, but still), McLaren will be just 50 points behind Red Bull. Just to put the whole Perez discussion into perspective.

[Pepe]

Unless they fuck up (which McLaren would never do, of course) Piastri should cruise it from here.

[Waffdon]

They might fuck Piastri over and pit Norris first with the undercut

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

He's almost out of the undercut range though, he's going hard.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Hope you got on at those odds, seems McLaren are on the Piastri train.

[Waffdon]

Well looks like McLaren are doing the right thing and helping Piastri with the win

[Adramelch]

They've been for the most part consistently supporting whoever's first on the track. Might be detrimental when you have a chance of winning the driver's championship, but at this point I think it's by far the best approach for them.

[Adramelch]

Max seems to be losing so much ground by staying out. Obviously he's going for a fresher stint later on, but I'm not sure.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

3s pitstop is insanely slow for RB.

[Waffdon]

Hamilton looking rapid on these hards but hopefully he’s destroying them

[Waffdon]

Did Piastri go off the track or something?

[SincereTheRebel]

Stappen Seething

[Gray Fox]

Tyre deg through the roof here.

3 stopper surely.

[Pepe]

Not being in the far superior car anymore sucks, doesn't it?

[Shindig]

Aye, they're getting cooked.

[Waffdon]

Cannot believe this is only just past half way. Feel like it’s been on for 2 hours

[Waffdon]

A crash between Hamilton and Verstappen and the CHAMPIONSHIP IS BACK ON

[Shindig]

Allowing the McLarens to race with these tyres is ... a choice.

[Adramelch]

I know it's probably detrimental in the long term, but it's nice to have a front-runner team not playing favorites and allowing their drivers to race each other.

Shindig: He said until the mid 40s so I don't think they will end up racing in the end.

[Waffdon]

Leclerc staying out for ages just to pit so soon. I’m not sure about that

[Waffdon]

I hope Norris gives the place back but I highly doubt it

[Gray Fox]

About to see how much of a team player Lando is.

Asking a driver to give up a win?

[Shindig]

Lando vs convenience. Here we go.

[Adramelch]

It will be very shitty if he doesn't, because he only got ahead due to their team's decisions.

Bad tactics by McLaren really. Why didn't they just pit Piastri first in that case?

[Gray Fox]

I think he gives it back. Would Max be doing the same with Perez? Perhaps not.

[Waffdon]

The issue is if Piastri ends up 6/7 seconds behind. You can’t just give that much of a lead up

[Pepe]

Norris will play the if he catches me he can get the position game, surely.

[Gray Fox]

If you're Norris you want to keep the good favour in case he does get closer in the championship. Be a good boy.

[Adramelch]

Norris will play the if he catches me he can get the position game, surely.

The radio call said "at this convenience" so he'd be well in his rights to do so, if that's the case. I think they just fucked it up tactically. Or they are just playing optics with those radio calls.

[Shindig]

Aye, he can just use pace as a reason for not doing it.

[Waffdon]

That’s fair enough. If Piastri gets to 1.5 seconds then give him it back

[Waffdon]

If Hamilton was smart he would give Leclerc DRS here

[Adramelch]

They just created tension between drivers and the team for absolutely no reason. Amateur-ish stuff if you ask me.

[Pepe]

Full on tantrum mode, baby Max.

[Waffdon]

Crofty pushing Verstappen narrative is doing my fucking tits in

[Gray Fox]

Stop mentioning the SIM racing lads. He's been doing it and winning titles for years.

[Pepe]

As if he would be all cheery if he had gone to bed earlier.

[Shindig]

Lando 1 - 0 Convenience.

[Gray Fox]

Honestly Crofty, shut the fuck up.

[SincereTheRebel]

Using too much tyres at turn 4, 7, exit of 9 and 13. Ffs

[Adramelch]

Yeah whatever the ending result, McLaren have fucked their team dynamics up for absolutely no reason.

[Gray Fox]

Yeah this was silly. He was nowhere near under threat from Hamilton.

You can't just ask a driver to give up a win like this. For 7th place yes, but not a win.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Using too much tyres at turn 4, 7, exit of 9 and 13. Ffs

He's clearly trying to push it as hard as he can so Piastri can't catch up.

[Adramelch]

Yeah this was silly. He was nowhere near under threat from Hamilton.

You can't just ask a driver to give up a win like this. For 7th place yes, but not a win.

You can even ask him to give up a win, if Piastri is a second behind. Not drop a full 3-4 seconds to do it.

They didn't even bring Piastri in the lap after. They waited for one extra lap for whatever reason.

[Pepe]

Yeah, he is over four seconds behind at this point. Piastri will need to step it up.

[Shindig]

Call it off. Lando's not changing his mind.

[Waffdon]

How is Piastri even 5 seconds behind

[SincereTheRebel]

They dont sound too confident with Lando on the radio

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Wow, McLaren trying to guilt trip him.

[Gray Fox]

I still think he moves over on the last lap, but the team clearly do not think he is going to right now. This is career defining for Lando.

[Waffdon]

McLaren ar gaslighting the fuck out of him. They’re the one who pitted Lando first :lol:

[Pepe]

Yeah at this point I think that Norris deserves it.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Max :harold:

[Adramelch]

Verstappen being a petulant child. Who'd have thunk? :D

[Waffdon]

Scenes.

[Pepe]

:harold:

[Shindig]

Max, you stupid radge. :D

[Waffdon]

Norris might give the position back now since Verstappen dropping more points

[Gray Fox]

Max has lost his mind today.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

"You proved your point, Lando"

lol, maybe pit them differently dickheads?

[Shindig]

Good of the team? THE RESULT IS THE SAME, YOU SILLY SODS.

[Waffdon]

That collision was mental. Max probably gonna get a 10 second penalty here

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Good of the team? THE RESULT IS THE SAME, YOU SILLY SODS.

And it was 100% their fault.

Why undercut with Lando?

[Pepe]

Verstappen you fucking donkey.

[Gray Fox]

GP thoroughly sick of his shit today.

[Pepe]

Norris should not give that place back.

[John Arne]

Nozzles to pull over on the last corner.

[Waffdon]

Genuinely don’t understand how Norris is always so much quicker at the end of races. Piastri is miles off him

[Pepe]

At this point you have to wonder whether Norris would have overtaken Piastri if they had pitted Piastri first.

[Adramelch]

Coulthard firmly supporting Norris' stance here as well. McLaren have fucked this up monumentally.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Mental that McLaren are imploding over this.

[Waffdon]

Only McLaren could fuck up a 1-2 by getting a 1-2

[Shindig]

Yeah, you don't win the Championship by winning races, Lando. :cab:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Only McLaren could fuck up a 1-2 by getting a 1-2

:D

[Gray Fox]

At this point you have to wonder whether Norris would have overtaken Piastri if they had pitted Piastri first.

Certainly would have, but they let Norris do the undercut.

Someone should be on the radio giving him one message. Get your top guy on there and say "I am the boss and I say move over." If he complies great, if not then you sort it out. None of this crying and begging.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Lando should have kept it up.

[Waffdon]

Fair play to him because I wouldn’t be doing that

[Shindig]

... fuck you, McLaren.

[SincereTheRebel]

Pussy'o

[Adramelch]

I think now Lando should be genuinely aggrieved and I wouldn't blame him one bit.

[Waffdon]

Think Verstappen going right through Hamilton helped make that decision easier

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Race him Lando, overtake him and then swing your dick.

[SincereTheRebel]

Overtake him now Lando.

[Pepe]

Crash him out. :drool:

[Adramelch]

Think Verstappen going right through Hamilton helped make that decision easier

In the end Norris went with the worst of both worlds though. He could have given the position up a lot earlier and genuinely just passed him again on merit, or he could have just kept first place.

[SincereTheRebel]

Im going to watch Multi 21

[Shindig]

Booing on the podium, please.

[SincereTheRebel]

The last few months have been great entertainment.

[Gray Fox]

I'm not sure Oscar is going to appreciate hearing those radio messages.

[Shindig]

If Verstappen's slump continues, days like this will define McLaren's season. Lando has the qualifying pace and had the race won. Piastri's wasn't on his level today.

[Waffdon]

McLaren probably win the constructors now

Norris will be fuming purely for the fact he may have caught up with Piastri even if they pitted opposite. He was by far the quicker driver

[Pepe]

If only Norris knew how to start a race...

[Waffdon]

Jesus Piastri isn’t half laid back :D

[Adramelch]

Even Piastri feels bad even though he just got his first win.

[SincereTheRebel]

Im going to watch Multi 21

Just found out that Webber is Oscars manager and adviced him into F1

[SincereTheRebel]

Lando, clearly the fastest man for the past two months with one win to show for it. Now, he actually understands.

[Waffdon]

Lando, clearly the fastest man for the past two months with one win to show for it. Now, he actually understands.

Utterly mental he’s only won once but them dreadful starts aren’t half fucking him over. Next week should be interesting

[Pepe]

Are they going to let Verstappen go unpunished?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Are they going to let Verstappen go unpunished?

They're going to punish him after the race.

[Waffdon]

Scenes when Verstappen wins the title by 7 points

[Shindig]

Lando definitely cried after that.

[7om]

I would’ve seriously considered not yielding if I was Lando. As he rightly said on the radio, if you want him to move over, Piastri has to get up behind him. When in reality he was dropping further back while the argument was going on. Shambolic from McLaren.

Max on the radio today was quite something. Newey is gone, Perez is completely finished and GP has had enough of Max’s shit. There’s a shit storm brewing at Red Bull and I’m here for it.

[Pepe]

The dropoff in performance coincided almost perfectly with Newey announcing that he was leaving. I wonder if he just fucked everything off then and there and now without him they don't know what to do. I have a hard time thinking that they will be all that good in the next few seasons.

[Adramelch]

They will probably be up there (well competing, not necessarily dominant) next season as well courtesy of how far ahead they've been, but with new regs in 2026 all bets are off.

[Pepe]

Yeah, by all that good I mean for their standards. I think that they will be about where they are now, although I could see Mercedes and/or Ferrari improving a bit more and overtaking them slightly. Max being Max will still be able to compete you'd think, although if he keeps chimping out like today, things might get dicey.

[Pepe]

Max Verstappen’s Team Redline win 24-hour sim racing event on F1 weekend

[Adramelch]

McLaren is 51 points behind currently. It's quite likely Red Bull lose the constructor's championship if things keep as they are.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Are they going to let Verstappen go unpunished?

Yep.

They've called it a racing incident.

Fucking disgraceful.

[Waffdon]

Verstappen’s world and we’re just living in it

[Giggles]

McLaren won, stop crying.

[Adramelch]

In fairness, it looked like Hamilton also moved under braking at the same time, so that probably gave the stewards the perfect excuse to not punish Verstappen.

[Shindig]

He moved but he had a corner to make.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Max hates moving under braking too...

[Adramelch]

He moved but he had a corner to make.

I can't pretend to understand the specifics if I'm being honest, but in the F1tv broadcast, both the main caster, whoever that is and David Coulthard were in agreement that Max wasn't completely wrong when he complained about it on comms, so I was going off that. If they thought he had a case, the stewards probably also did.

That's not to say he shouldn't have been punished, rather that they saw a chance to let him off, as they are wont to do.

[Gray Fox]

I think a racing incident for this one is fair. If you watch again, Hamilton does start to move right. It's only a little, but it's enough to make Max to have to adjust to the point where he was never going to make that corner. You can see Lewis start to turn in, notice Max has locked it all up and then he tries to move left again, but then it's too late kind of a 60/40. Stewards will have said the loss of places for the move was punishment enough. What will likely annoy Max more is he didn't have to do it. He'd have got by the next time around.

What he does need a big slap for is his radio conduct. Over the years we've heard many a top driver complaining about the tyre set or what have you, but he was way too much today. Even GP told him he was being childish.

[Clunge]

Get fucked Red Bull. SO here for their tears. If McLaren – and both Norris and Piastri – have got even a modicum of sense, they'll kiss and make up pronto here and then just kill the opposition for the rest of the season. And if they were even more sensible, they'll call off the fight between the two of them now and put all their eggs in Norris's basket. Because with Perez at RB, there is a genuine chance they could be two-on-one vs Verstappen in just about every race for the rest of the season. Put everything behind a Norris title charge, and then even up the team balance next season.

[niko_cee]

Embarrassing stuff from 'the papaya cars', what a way to win your first grand prix. Stick an asterisk next to it. He wasn't trying to close so he could keep his tyres fresher no doubt as he wouldn't have had the actual pace to hold off Norris for 10 laps or whatever.

Also many lols at Max. The just shut up you twat feedback got was great and particularly the Hamilton 'moving under braking' line ie trying to make a corner which Verstappen had no intention of making, what is the alternative, you just have to go off as well because some idiot is taking the F1 1997 line into the first corner at Hokkenheim?

In Max's defence he was absolutely right about them completely fucking his race with the 'offset strategy'. I refer to previous comments on the subject where that seems to have such a low percentage chance of ever working, particularly on a track where it is almost impossible to pass.

[Ben]

The seethe. :drool:

The race itself was pretty shit but between McLaren and Max it was entertaining enough.

[Waffdon]

It’ll take a while getting used to Norris being the bookies fav every week

[SincereTheRebel]

He really needs to sort out his starts. In all of his 5 pole positions. He has never led into lap one.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

https://www.planetf1.com/news/lance-stroll-denies-fernando-alonso-points-hungary-team-orders

He knows he's safe because of Daddy.

[Adramelch]

To be fair, asking drivers to swap positions back there is such small-time mentality. I know Alonso let him pass and all, but yeah I think the article is making a big deal out of a whole lot of nothing.

[Waffdon]

Alonso deserved it for throwing his clothes literally on the floor for someone to pick up after moaning about the Tsunoda red flag in quali

[phonics]

Alonso deserved it for throwing his clothes literally on the floor for someone to pick up after moaning about the Tsunoda red flag in quali

1815642420651942349

Seems justified.

[Ben]

Surely not. :D

[Ben]

Alpine are dumping the Renault engine and going with Mercedes.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Hang on. Aren't they owned by Renault?

[Ben]

The engine is the only thing built in France, so they'll become a full British team.

[Pepe]

The French lol.

[Waffdon]

Sounds like Verstappen is taking an engine penalty this weekend. He done it before and won from p14 but I’m not sure this car is all that right now.

It’s coming home

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

RB are also apparently banning him from sim racing the night before a race :harold:

[Ben]

Sounds like Verstappen is taking an engine penalty this weekend. He done it before and won from p14 but I’m not sure this car is all that right now.

It’s coming home

Belgium still the best place to take it, even if you're a Sauber.

[Waffdon]

Of course.

I read he’s averaging a new engine every 3 races. Is that normal?

[Ben]

It's not far off. They reuse them later on in the season, so unless they blow up it's not a big deal. Red Bull obviously think it's worth a penalty to give them another fresh one for the back end of the season.

[phonics]

This take is late and not pertinent but Nico Rosberg is a truly fascinating creature of modern media. I find him creepy, weird and immensely off putting to the point I want to turn my tv off when he’s on it but at the same time he’s the only person on there that knows what they’re talking about and is correct 99.999% of the time.

[Clunge]

I find his tone and delivery really really weird, but I do agree it's only really him and Button who bring any proper insight from a modern F1 perspective. Coulthard was quite good on the Hungary race too, given his experience. I also think Jolyon Palmer is very good on the BBC comms.

[Ben]

He's a weird bloke (he comes across just as weird in German so it's not a second language trait) but clearly is the most knowledgeable and also isn't afraid to stir some shit in situations where you'd get the likes of Button backing out of it.

[Jimmy Floyd]

They just need to pay whatever bank is required to get JV on every week and I'm happy.

[SincereTheRebel]

Ocon to Hass confirmed.

[Waffdon]

Verstappen race pace looked ridiculous. If he wins from outside the top 10 again :drool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

1816833471202877692

Yuki starting in France this weekend.

[niko_cee]

I thought they got rid of that sort of thing?

They should just make it a hard cap for lolz. No engine? Good luck. Like losing your star man to a cruciate ligament injury. Season in the bin. Even more lift and coast.

[Shindig]

Or it's like PE when you forget your kit. Someone ends up with a 1998 Mechachrome in the back. It'll sound amazing until it blows up.

[Ben]

It’s a fucking joke. Now you’ll get someone taking a 5 place penalty for whatever replacement part and still starting 15th. They should stop-go these cunts like Formula E.

[Giggles]

Verstappen race pace looked ridiculous. If he wins from outside the top 10 again :drool:
…you, and 90% of this kip, will whinge like a bitch.

[Waffdon]

…you, and 90% of this kip, will whinge like a bitch.

Nah, would be one of the best drives since Hamilton at Interlagos if he does it. McLaren still have the fastest car and think Merc will get back to Silverstone form here so he’ll be doing well to get a podium

[Jimmy Floyd]

If you're taking 60 place grid penalties you should, since there are 20 cars, start three laps down.

Not an actual sport though so you can do what the hell you like and be within 5 seconds of the leaders on race day.

[Pepe]

Or take as many spots as possible depending on where you qualify each week until the 60 places are consumed.

[Ben]

Remaining on the “not a real sport” topic, I just saw Verstappen got fined €100 yesterday.

[Shindig]

Was that just for the swear jar?

[Adramelch]

Obviously the FIA overdid it with said fines, so they revoked them today. Saved Verstappen from the brink of financial ruin.

[Waffdon]

Remaining on the “not a real sport” topic, I just saw Verstappen got fined €100 yesterday.

Red flagging for rain in a practice session. Pussies

[Waffdon]

I’m assuming McLaren are on a race set up here as they are normally shit hot in the wets but I’m not even sure either will be T4 here for the race. Not the end of the world as quite easy to take over here.

Verstappen going to finish half a second clear for if not more

[Adramelch]

He did two laps that were more than half a second faster than anyone else on the track. Quite ridiculous.

[Clunge]

Where did that come from by Leclerc?

[Waffdon]

They had a new set of Inters whereas everyone other than Verstappen had just the one

You’d assume tomorrow should be mega with the mclarens and Verstappen coming through the field. Can’t imagine Perez or Leclerc do much in the race

[Gray Fox]

Leclerc has always been rapid over one lap. It's all of his race day mistakes/Ferrari "strategy" that holds him back.

Looks like Max has the car back as he wants it now though. Trouble for those ahead of him tomorrow.

[Waffdon]

I could be completely wrong but surely he’s going to suffer somewhat tomorrow. Not a chance he’s going half a second clear every session on wets if his set up isn’t more geared towards it

[Gray Fox]

I'll be shocked if he's not at least on the podium. Just needs to keep his nose clean into T1.

[Waffdon]

Think it’ll depend on how quickly he can clear the first few cars. He’s going to suffer in the straights tomorrow (compared to usual)

Quite a few teams suffered in the race last year with their higher downforce on the dry track (though it ended up raining again at the end which meant they somewhat made up for it. No chance of rain tomorrow though)

[Gray Fox]

I can't wait for him to win and then say it's because he got loads of wet practice in on iRacing over the past week.

Crofty might implode.

[Gray Fox]

Rumour of the day is Sainz to Williams is done verbally. They'll sign the contract after this race weekend is over. It'll be a lengthy deal but with a proviso that he can leave from 2026 onwards to either Red Bull or Mercedes.

[Giggles]

That just water coming off that Merc? There seemed to be a good bit of it going onto the track as he moved off.

[Waffdon]

Season is either OVER or ON after today. Come on you beautiful papaya sluts

Someone is definitely getting wiped out on the first corner

[SincereTheRebel]

Its dry and i was hoping for a damp track

[Adramelch]

How many positions will Norris have lost after the first corner? That's the real question here.

[Pepe]

Norris :harold:

[Waffdon]

It’s beyond ridiculous at this point with Norris and his starts

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

His starts are genuinely shocking.

[Adramelch]

His starts are shocking and then he overdoes it trying to defend a bad start and ends up losing more.

[Giggles]

All the sagged heads from Mercedes before the race don't seem to be ringing true.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Hamilton is fucking flying.

[Adramelch]

Norris with tons of space there at the first corner, not sure how he managed to run wide.

[Waffdon]

This is set up perfectly for Hamilton at the minute

[Shindig]

Not if something's leaking into his suit ...

[Ben]

Norris going backwards at the start has at least stunted Verstappen’s charge to the front for now. He’d have sailed by Sainz and Russell already if the McLaren wasn’t in the way.

[Pepe]

Piastri and Norris about to be undercut.

[Waffdon]

Piastri has a great chance here. Flying

[Waffdon]

Perez has binned Verstappen’s race off here :D

[Adramelch]

Perez' lack of pace actively hurting Verstappen is quite a sight to be hold.

[Pepe]

They should have kept Perez in there to block Norris, no?

[SincereTheRebel]

Getting a bit good this F1 now they have closed the gap to Verstappen

[Pepe]

Remembering that Hamilton is moving to Ferrari always makes me lol.

[Waffdon]

The McLaren looking very average in turbulent air here

[Adramelch]

What's the strategy with Norris there? Feels like what Red Bull did with Verstappen last race.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Piastri almost taking out the front jack man :D

[Pepe]

Russell with the single stopper. :drool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Russell is going to regret staying out I feel.

I can smell one of his late specials.

[Pepe]

Should create carnage, I am all for it.

[Pepe]

Norris vs Verstappen pt. 2. Hope we get some aggressive blocking again. :drool:

[Waffdon]

Piastri would be ahead of Leclerc if he didn’t fuck that stop up

Norris just dies off when he gets behind Verstappen

[Pepe]

The hards should be better in the last few laps, I would think.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Piastri is gravy.

[Adramelch]

Great from Piastri that.

[Waffdon]

Russell still being 4 seconds clear is absurd

[Pepe]

Piastri about to fly. We might have a battle for the win.

EDIT: 3-way battle? :D

[Adramelch]

Russell's not winning from here you'd think, but even if he doesn't it was a great call as long as he doesn't lose it. He was on course for like a 5th-6th finish.

[Pepe]

Nevermind, Piastri isn't that fast.

Russell's not winning from here you'd think, but even if he doesn't it was a great call as long as he doesn't lose it. He was on course for like a 5th-6th finish.

If he gets a podium, which seems possible, it will be an incredible call.

Norris on the exit of slow corners is awful. He is losing two tengths every time.

Nevermind, Piastri isn't that fast.

Tyres are starting to go.

Looks like Hamilton will win as Tory Boy should just give up the lead ASAP so they don't fight and let Piastri get close.

[Pepe]

Not ASAP...

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I think it's crazy they're not swapping.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I guess they feel Piastri is too far away but he is catching them...

[Pepe]

Me too but I am not complaining.

[Pepe]

Probably too late but if Piastri beats them both. :D

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Probably too late but if Piastri beats them both. :D

Think he's a lap or two short.

[Pepe]

Russell winning this would be immense.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Fair play to the Tory, that was great.

Didn't think the tyres would hold.

[Adramelch]

That was mega from Russell. Both the call and the driving to make it work.

[Waffdon]

Utterly ridiculous from Russell. Fair play

[SincereTheRebel]

Sainz wanted to one stop. He would have been involved here too
