If Lando gets a penalty it's bullshit, it hasn't affected anyone's position.

The whole grid technically went through the amber lights. I say just give team fines and be done with it.

Max is going to win this race though. Oscar let him by like he was driving the sister car.

17 to 6 is crazy

So more rain in 20 minutes...any bets on how many safety cars have to be deployed during this race?

He's pulling a Lewis Brazil 2021 type drive. He seems to be the only one able or brave enough to go for overtakes.

I just hope for no red flags. If they can keep the running going the cars will keep a bunch of the water off the track. If they stop, rivers and standing water will form.

I bet teams/drivers are going to refuse to pit for the full wets because they know a red flag is likely to come.

What's this story about Lewis and George's tyre pressure?

Sounds like a slam dunk penalty of adjusting tire pressures in between the starts

Doing that on the grid could be considered cheating.

So now with Williams and the red flag, the 3 drivers ahead of Lando get to get their tyres changed. Fuckbeans.

 

[NickNick]

The way the FIA treats wet conditions these days is fucked. Teams know that if rain gets to the point of needing full wets, it's going to be a SC or red flag so they hesitate to put them on, thus leading to drivers driving around on bad tires for the conditions, ie less safe.

SC means tires get cold and you get drivers crashing like Franco.

McLaren and Mercedes fucked up not trusting their drivers.

Everyone could see this. Not sure how McLaren couldn’t. So bad.

Yep. The SC was stupid though, Franco binned it on cold worn inters. No one was going to pit at that point. They need to rethink how they handle heavy rain situations.

 

[NickNick]

Absolute diasterclass for Lando. He went from a potential massive jump in the point gap to Max to losing out to him.

 

[JaviBrewski]

better and more wholesome story is alpine finishing 2-3.

impressive race from max. still dont like him.

 

[fica]

max wins not just destroyed competition on track but murerred british press after race

 

[Foppa21]

That quali was a waste of money lol

 

[supnmunm]

That shot of Max taking the lead while Lando went off track was chefs kiss

So Max can win this weekend if he stays 60 points or more ahead of Lando. I guess Max is up by 62 and the max points left after this weekend is 60. So basically Lando has to beat Max by 3 or more points this weekend in order to remain mathematically in the hunt.

At least this season has been more interesting than last year. Constructors could also have a bit of drama I think.

It's rapped up this has to be push to make it interesting by liberty when max was dominating because how do you explain that dominance then nothing
