Max not getting a false start penalty is unclear. Wish FIA would put out something towards that.

Looks plenty good



Surprised the yellow line is so far back

Lawson with a 5 second penalty and 1 penalty point

Ollie bearman- 5 seconds for unsafe release

Albon- 5 seconds for safety car infringement

Charles Leclerc- reprimand for driving unsafe car

Verstappen- 10 seconds

That’s a lot of action for a 18 lap race

So it sounds like Tsunoda went from last on the grid to finish P6.

Nice job for a short sprint race.

0.065s Lando and 0.067s Kimi behind Max. Insanely tight.

Williams ahead of Ferrari.

Yuki is 0.7s behind Max. I was in his cockpit. He couldn't complete a hot lap without fighting the car. There was always a corner or two where the steering wheel was going back and forth.

Good qualifying for Williams. The cars are fast if they can keep them out of the scrum early.

It's just humiliating to be Max's teammate. But it's also Red Bull's failure to make a car that someone other than Max can drive.

After listening to George's interview, I realized that Lollipopman (on YouTube) has absolutely nailed his voice.

And here I am thinking that being within a second of Max isn't too bad.

Kimi just goes fast. Dude is competitive and just woke up in F1.

He will have his "crashstappen" phase, but this kid is the future.

Can't be easy when specifics haven't been nailed down yet.

Dropping the mgu-h and increasing the mgu-k gives them plenty to work on.

Not to mention reduced fuel flow while at the same size engine.

If you believe the rumors RBR and Ferrari are behind on development. Which may lead to why Alpine went the way they went. Which also may not mean shite.

That sprint race was chaotic. I loved it.

Qualifying was pretty good too. Some more rain tomorrow would be real interesting.

Of course that pic looks good, taken 1 second before the lights went out.

Max blocks at least two people in sprint quali and then rolls through the start, no damn biggy.

I like Max but FIA loves Max.
