Congrats to Mclaren for the WCC title of 2025....well deserved.
the papaya rules should never have happened in the first place. Absolutely ridiculous and he fell for it hook line and sinker. If Max wins COTA it's absoilutely game on for the championship and I predict more fireworks between the Mclaren boys.
Which would hand the victory to Verstappen. If he does decide on such a strat, he needs to take out all 3 ... seems risky at best
To win Max would need to take more than 10 points (5th place) on average in the 6 remaining GP - that's indeed quite possible, so Piastri would need to monitor that. However, when the number of remaining GPs will decrease (and depending on the results on the way), the radical tactics may become without risk.
(1) Cytrus on X: "That's how Hamilton kept P8 today https://t.co/kKIIp2vsF7" / X I was going to say well done to Lewis for holding onto 8th. Then I saw how. Come on dude. I know your brakes failed but at least attempt. It's not like your speed was too high to make any of these corners
He's under investigation for track limits and MIGHT lose his place with a POSSIBLE 5sec time penalty.
Hamilton slapped with a 5sec time penalty due to track infringements because "I have no brakes!!!" So he loses his P8 position and gets regulated to P9.
Hamilton actually finished 7th as far as I know; if given 5s penalty he'd be 8th behind Alonso and still in front of Bearman.
A so so day for Powered by Honda with P2, 11, 12 and 15 Congratulations to GR today for a nice victory
nope, me too. It'll be absolutely hilarious if they ask piastri to move over again and the fallout from that lol
Yes, you are correct. Hamilton finished P8 with the time penalty. How stupid of me to listen to team radio from Adami to Hamilton about his 5sec time penalty and where he finished.
Norris nearly loses McLaren the WCC by hitting Oscar on lap 1 and they all cheer. Once again, Norris makes a mistake but this time gets away with it.
