Wow what an exciting finish and superb important to wait that long of course...


Max now has won at as many races as Michael Schumacher

 

4th red flag. Hulk breaks down on cool down lap

 

So many red flags, someone important must be having that time of the month.

Eh. I guess.
If Max had been where Perez was, he would've still podium-ed, probably been #1 by the end.

 

Driver of the day - FIA

 

What a load of BS, they've never sanctioned these incidents at starts. Oh, well, definitely it's not our year.

 

Alonso spun himself out. And I'm not saying that as a Ferrari fan. I'm a big fan of Alonso and I'm not shy about holding our drivers accountability.

Alonso swung across the track and into Sainz line, just as Leclerc did to Stroll earlier. There was nothing Sainz could've done to avoid hitting him.

Sainz penalty is down to Aston being pissed off that both their drivers got caught up in the restart storm, and so somebody had to pay for it.

Ferrari lack the balls to protest.

 

We are politically and technically weak.
Todt wouldn’t have never accepted this unfair decision.

 

i mean 1st lap they say its because its 1st lap but a standing restart have different rules?

FIA still missing their plot lol

 

Well it was a race
another
and another
and another and it ended.

Max won.

Next race!

 

Saw that as well. No mention by any of the announcers.

 

How many times did I read that last sentence...more than I can care to remember; "ad Nauseam"...
Sounds like Guy Ligier's (R.I.P) favorite saying: "another year of transition" ("une autre année de transition" en Français dans le texte)

Sorry mate, I'm with kimi2007
Alonso and Sainz racing incident at worst

 

If they don’t give him 5 seconds penalty = unfair
If they give him 5 seconds penalty = unfair.
Just to demonstrate how farcical this sport is becoming.

 

Not every contact is an infringement.

Irrespective, the big picture is that micro managing and extreme precision destroys the sport - the bureaucracy becomes the deciding factor.
Instead of sport action you get cheap "entertainment".

 

True indeed; BUT that was 20 years ago (even more...). A VERY long time as fast as Formula One goes. The past is great, but it is the past; ancient history.
Where is this going NOW?
