As nothing else has been posted, I figured I'd open this up to discussion.

A brilliant race, I thought. Lots of fantastic battles. An intelligent strategy from Ferrari. Not too chaotic or arbitrary. Albon fighting on 40-lap old tires for a huge P7.

How'd everyone else enjoy it?

I know Max doesn't need the help but my god Perez does not deserve that Red Bull put Norris in it or something.

Put Albon back in that car, now that he has the experience. He's proving how good he is at Williams.

+1 for putting Norris in as a fan. However if I was Red Bull management I'd keep giving him one year contracts until be becomes a liability. They've got constructors nailed on and a clear driver hierarchy. It's ideal for them.

Yeah they need what Bottas was to Hamilton, up there but never making a serious challenge for number 1 like Rosberg did. Then again Max is so dominant that maybe fixing what's not broken isn't an issue.

Good strategy from Ferrari? The end times are nigh

Favorite moment was Alonso's pit telling him Hamilton was just 1.9s behind. "Okay, leave it to me." And then suddenly it was a 6 second gap.

I can’t understand how Perez just couldn’t compete with Ferrari’s pace at all. Not his best circuit.

not the best driver.

Yo why is this thread still here?!

But what did Lando do though?

[–] WatTyler@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My understanding is that he slowed down on the race track leading up to pit entry so that McLaren could double-stack him after Piastri. It's against the rules to deliberately go slow and impede like that.

@WatTyler makes sense, but its sad that it wasn’t covered in the broadcast

[–] WatTyler@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They did discuss it on the international (Sky) broadcast.

[–] Ronno@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

@WatTyler was unfortunately listening to the Dutch one

Ted whinged about the nondescript nature of the penalty so much that someone from the FIA got in touch to tell them what it was for.
