Still super pumped for Danny Ric. Long time coming. And Cyril vowed to make it a mistake he left Renault

It’s still a win for Max. Not the best outcome, but still a win.

It's probably a better outcome fro Red Bull than had the two not crashed.

The stewards spelled out their decision. And explained why what you think you saw, was not what they saw, backed up by telemetry and actual data.

Mainly, they saw, Lewis was ahead going into the corner and Max had no rights to the track he occupied.

All the Max/Hamilton shenanigans aside, I’m super amped for a McLaren 1:2. Specially with Danny getting a win finally. Hoping this will propel them into a really solid finish to the rest of the season.

There was a lot of thought that McLaren might go with their engines when Seidl came over from that group.

Word is that the WEC Power Unit that Porsche/Audi runs could be converted to the current F1 engine formula relatively easily.

May have saved Hamilton’s life.

Fun race today. Really fun except for the train the last several laps.

“Daniel, do you have any words for the Italian fans.”

Ricciardo speaks for three minutes in Italian.

“Well, I didn’t know you speak Italian.”

The Italian background knows more than pizza pizza pizza.

Porsche ran their WEC car unspec'd faster than F1 had run the previous year at Spa. They have the ability to make the engine and team, maybe they are waiting to buy the right team like Merc did.

Interesting how Lewis sounds a lot like Horner.
Also interesting that while each was found predominantly at fault, the penalties are different.

Whatever.

Not different penalties. If Max had stayed running the stewards would have penalized during the race. A 3 grid place penalty might be less than a 10 second penalty (most allowable by rules).

Fwiw, I don't think Max nor Lewis should have had penalties for the incidents. Although I get while Lewis had his penalty, I still think today was a racing incident and both wrecking out was penalty enough.

Lol, this thread is a fricking mess.

All I will say for now is that DC was the douchiest fricking interviewer I’ve seen in a long time.

F1 has so much drama. At times, it feels like middle school drama with the teams and drivers. The drivers are the kids and team principal is the parents. Your kid did this to mine so I going straight to the principal. It’s very entertaining.

I mean, the drama and "characters" are part of what make it so entertaining.

It's kind of like WWE for rich Europeans, albeit not all scripted.

At least Serena wasn't there. I was wondering if DC was going to bring out Usain Bolt during Ric's interview.
