KMag picking up penalties after penalties. Man speedrunning to a race ban.
They'll do everything they can to not hand out a race ban. I would be shocked if they did.
Not everything gives points though. Will see what the stewards give out.
Anyone know what the safety car pitlane thing was about?
That start by Perez was.. something else..
It was Checos real life attempt of the baguette special, a strategy I learned about on RicksF1Addiction youtube channel.
The race is currently a McLaren sandwich
Lol
They timed that VSC perfectly so that none of the leaders could get ahead
Lando: "I didnt overtake anyone today" 😂
Also loved Max' face when he saw Checo's launch nearly collected him in turn 1 lol
Our boy Lando did it!!!! So pumped for him
WE HAVE A NEW GP WINNER IN FORMULA1.
I bet Brundle can't wait to interview Trump during the grid walk.
What, Trump is there?
"This is the best Grand Prix, the best.. ask anybody! My uncle was a race car driver, at Harvard, a fantastic man, fantastic man.. Did you know cars are from outer space? I just heard this.. truly amazing. I will take electrocution every single time, I will take electrocution.”
This is an amazing impression
Vomit.
Safety car chose the wrong leading car? Wtf
Wurz saying on broadcast right now that the safety car is not obligated to "collect" the leading car, if circumstances are weird
Norris just got the race lead for free because the SC picked up Verstappen..? Even with the faster pitstop he should've ended up behind Verstappen normally. Very weird one.
Apparently Norris was so fast that the safety car wasnt ready yet when he passed it? Lol
Wurz: "Toto is probably calling Horner right now saying 'that's motor racing' " 😂
Safety cars plays right in for Norris.
SargeantMagnussen didn't dissapointLeading on track on newer tires 😁
Norris lapped the entire field, ggez
Hulkenberg passing Lewis.. nice.
Red Bull with another 1.9 seconds pit stop for Perez. That's just so impressive.
Absolute scenes <3
LANDOOOOOOO 🙌🙌🙌
Will Buxton on F1TV saying that Max has a meeting with Mercedes on Monday 👀 but they're predicting he'll stay with Red Bull for 2025.
I guess he has to decide whether he wants to finish 1st or 5th.
Friendly reminder to turn down the volume before Lando's radio comes up
Edit: told you
Sainz about to join Alonso's protest against FIA.
Mad Operator
I don't think Magnussen deserved that penalty.
Magnussen makes some dumb and overly aggressive moves, but I don't see how this was one of them. I don't get how Magnussen gets a 10 second penalty for that, but Piastri pushing Sainz wide and playing bumper cars to stay on track gets deemed a racing incident and no further investigation.
Inconsistent stewarding and F1, a pair for the ages.
Sainz did the exact same thing Magnussen got a penalty for yesterday, and got off the hook.
Why on earth can't stewards investigate incidents that occur with more than a dozen laps left in the race before the end of the race? They can hand out instant 10 second penalties for some incidents, but others could occur on lap 1 and still get the decision to investigate after the session is over.
Did lando do that without an overtake?
Yes, all overtakes were with the SC overcut.
Poor Williams just can't seem to catch a clean weekend.
Piastri about to make this race interesting all alone.
Perez noted for false start. Nearly took out Max on T1.
What the fuck are the alpines doing.
“It’s called a motor race. We went car racing.”
That was some awesome driving through
Manifesting McLaren 1-2 🙏
Alpine having a scrap with an Aston, this race is something else.
Awesome for Lando...
Quick question: doesn't the performance for Lando today shows F1 rules favour the lead "too much"? That's is, it's easier being first than being second
People talk how Max gets these 20 seconds advantage, but Norris just did it
Anyone else see the 'Piero Ferrari' tag under Lewis' immediately after the overtake?
Tv direction is weird to say the least.
Another 1.9s pitstop by Red Bull.
This team is just next level.
Edit: Wow Ferrari too.
What a scrap between Sainz and Piastri.
HAM in the mood to hunt a Red Bull.
Both Mclarens as race leaders, what is this race.
hit cone
bring out VSC
get a cheap pit stopMax wasn't able to get the cheap pit stop though.
Toto in an ORF interview says he "doesnt know what the guy wants" in response to Red Bull CEO Mintzlaff talking shit about him trying to get Max under contract (didnt phrase it like that) to the media. Toto emphasizes that he has a lot of respect for Marko and Mateschitz, and that Max is so good due to Marko.
