Hamilton had an issue, I didn’t hear what it was.

Max just got swamped off the line. Ferrari putting Charles on softs and him dropping straight to the back.

Woke up to watch at 2am, sat there and watched the pre-start clusterfrick and managed to get though 25 laps before crashing back out.

Just saw the results… glad how it ended up.

Will do…. But the first 2hrs I got to see had everything we expect from f1


Inconsistency from FIA and Ferrari strategy frickup

Kimi up 84 with 7 races left.

He’s just about go this thing locked up at this point.

Looks like he will have it Brazil or Vegas.

Delayed start, safety car is struggling to get around the track with hydroplaning


Im watching on delay and see the program is almost 6hrs long.

Trying not to have spoilers but seems like rain may have played a part.

Hopefully this isn't like Spa before Hurricane Ida. Sat through 5 hours of rain delay on replay.

Not really... FIA was inconsistent with what the rules say when they did the re-start and then aside from the tire selections in the first 10 laps, it was a pretty dull race the rest of the way.

Just finished. Sucks for George. Was fast forwarding through the safety car and saw him standing on his car and was WTF?

Good for Max though and Lewis though.

Crazy that Ferrari turned what looked like an absolute strategy disasterclass not starting on the inters then not pitting Lewis for a tire change under the first safety car to a podium and 4th.

That safety car period was way too long.

They took what was a very entertaining race and turned it into a wet fart..

Why the frick did the McLarens pit when theyre both on hards and there was - at best - 7-8 laps left?

True, but they also got the benefit of the FIA being the FIA... Bernie Collins read the rules and they should have started from the back of the grid after their power failure on formation lap and then the safety car coming into the pits.

The rule clearly states positions remain the same (yes, understand unique circumstances) but they should have been near the back and never had a chance at all.

Did anyone else question why/whether or not it was necessary that Merc pitted during the last safety car after Verstappen?
Guess they just thought they’d get swamped by him anyway with his fresh tires.

Yeah, they knew he'd blow by them no matter what, so they were covering behind them just in case.

That was the full Ferrari roller coaster today. From completely botching the easiest call of the day to somehow finishing 3-4, what a ride.

Aston Martin must have updated their engines. Surprised Alonso could get points on a track with 2 long straight aways like that.
