Stroll upset he can’t crash into other cars whenever he feels like it
Stroll just needs to be out of F1 already, he just keeps showing he is not on the level to do this. Guy makes the dumbest mistakes and never seems to own up to it. He’s slow as hell most days, to boot.
What pissed me off was when he said on the radio that Ricciardo was an idiot for braking hard. I mean seriously?
Alonso not even getting slowed down by gravel.
That was a beautiful save.
And he just opened DRS right after as if nothing happened
It was incredibly skillful
Not a good day for the Aussies. Bottas out with engine troubles, Ricciardo and Piastri getting torpedoed by Stroll.
Hamilton utilizing all his racing prowess to get past a… Haas.
So nice to have Nico alongside Crofty. I love the insight he gives, really adds a lot to the race.
I personally find him arrogant and grating. But he does have a few good analyses, I will say.
Not just insight, but also not afraid to push back a little against Crofty when he said Alonso’s last stop was working out well. He corrected him by saying Alonso is making the most of a terrible situation. You don’t see Martin do that too often.
Not saying Crofty needs to be 100% correct all the time. When you’re talking for 2+ hours you’re allowed to make some mistakes, as long as they get picked up and corrected. Like today. It was civil and nice.
Max was gaining nearly a second per lap 😵
Rebull pitstops are on another level today.
And it was even a double stack
Both of them were double stacks and near or under 2.1 seconds
Well this is a shitshow
Racing Bull double dnf.
Arbitrary safety car imho.
I assume there is loads of carbon and metal wheel rim over the track.
- Was that tractor on track?
Aston Martin took a page from the Ferrari '22
playclownbookEdit: Ok, since Alonso started banging in fastest laps this might have been a premature comment. We’ll see
Wow-we that wheel in the gravel though
Gasly a bit eager to get going again…
Good job Norris.
A 3.2 second pitstop for salbur - wow! 🤣
That safety car took forever the hell?
Yeh, felt a bit wrong that he was getting out on that corner just under yellows
Lando P2 then?
