Seems like Norris let Piastri past?

If he did he it might’ve been a mistake, Leclerc is driving great so far.

I have a feeling that may have been the case, or more that he wasn't going to fight him. There is no need for Norris to have Piastri trying to dive bomb him potentially crashing when all he needs is P3.

I can't see this Max graining.

I'm not sure about this strategy for Norris, now he has to overtake Lawson and Tsunoda, two Red Bull guys? But he's just done Lawson without too much trouble, it looks like.

I hope the strategy/team doesn't fuck him over like the last race rather than his driving.

Fucking hell, Yuki.

Fucking hell, Yuki.

You heard it on the radio earlier….he knows what to do.

I understand the team dynamic and all that, but that was obvious from Tsunoda.

Why is Lando under investigation?

Leaving the track to overtake. Yuki was weaving like mad, but not sure if that affects the possibility of Norris getting a penalty for that

Can it be more blatant? It's literally on the radio. This is the worst I've seen from Red Bull since the Webber debacle.

No further action. TFFT!!

Thought it said 555 not 455.
Oh well

Nope, Norris has been cleared while Yuki gets a penalty. Title on for Norris!

Leclerc is his only problem.

Piastri looking like he is getting the raw end of the strategy from McLaren. Unless they plan on two stopping Norris OR this was their agreed plan before hand, to allow Oscar through at the start but knowing that he will have to go long on the hards....

Also I normally like Martin Brundle's commentary but he is being insufferable today. That British bias and maybe still some saltyness from 2021 bubbling through.

At least you've not missed all of it. Can't believe I was up at 4:30 tbh.

What has he said that you're not chuffed about?

Him going so hard on Yuki's defense. Yes it wasn't good but he is acting like he sent Lando into the wall. Then him asking Zak Brown about it, as if teams shouldn't be doing that.

There wasn't a single thing he said that was over dramatic or incorrect. He said he knew what he was going to do, he did it.

Eh, he was being over the top about it (I am not the only one who thinks this either.)

Shame Kimi couldn't hold off Lando last week, would have made this race much better.
