Happy with that. Norris in a well deserved 2nd. And 2 Brits on the podium.

[–] Purr 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well deserved indeed. I'm so happy for him and Piastri right now.

[–] bhmnscmm 12 points 1 year ago

I was skeptical but I'm really glad the hards ended up being the right call for Lando

[–] Lord_Logjam 26 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Max was Max, Norris was brilliant, Hamilton drove well (and got some luck), Piastri was great, Perez again finished behind slower cars, Stroll needs to go.

Very happy for Lando! What a drive.

[–] bhmnscmm 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Really impressive drive from Oscar too. I think he would have gotten 3rd if he pitted under the full safety car instead of the VSC

I just want to say how great the growth of content and conversation has been here in just a few weeks. Let's see what the McCedes can do.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (4 children)

Um, wtf, hards for Norris?

[–] krische 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

That's going to hurt them

[–] koolkiwi 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Aged like milk ;)

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

still can't believe mclaren made the hards work, lewis's softs were done shortly after the restart

Damn. Stroll hitting Gasly was very unnecessary.

[–] SatouKazuma 12 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Really understating it here. Stroll's driven quite poorly today in general, to be honest, so I can't say I'm entirely shocked.

Verstappen watching TV again

Edit: while doing a fastest lap, lol

[–] goldenjoe6 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’m impressed the Mclarens have been able to keep up with the Red Bull so far

[–] Purr 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I can't believe how good Lando is defending himself against Hamilton... Impressive!

[–] BURN 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Norris is driving like a madman out there and it’s so much fun to watch

Great defense from Norris and Piastri, didnt think they would keep the mercedes behind them.

[–] Purr 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm gonna need a replay of Norris' defence against Hamilton. That was imo the best racing we got this year so far.

[–] Belseb 6 points 1 year ago

Yea that first lap after the safety car was amazing.

[–] dimspace 9 points 1 year ago (7 children)

I just don't understand why McLaren put Norris and Piastri on hard tyres.

Even split strategies surely after seeing how long George lasted on softs

McLaren seems comfortably quicker than Ferrari right now

McLaren just giving it to Hamilton I'm afraid

[–] Purr 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I don't think giving McLarens hard tires is a good idea... They're trying to play it too safe.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm gonna be so sad if Norris gets overtaken by all the soft runners...whyyyy

Norris sounds pissed, and I can't say I blame him. What the fuck were McLaren thinking?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Really strong defending from Alonso there considering how bad the Aston were here today.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (6 children)

I think there needs to be a rework for the penalties. You look at WEC and a penalty seriously stings. Drive-throughs costing 30 seconds, S&G being 60s. What do we get, 5s for taking a driver out? The penalties are anemic

[–] SatouKazuma 5 points 1 year ago

As is, the penalties are clearly not a deterrent to possibly dangerous conduct. That's got to change.

Well done, Lando! What a race!

Piastri is the new Invisible Man. Sitting casually in 4th as a rookie and nobody is even talking about him!

Yeah...Lance will be picking up a penalty here.

[–] goldenjoe6 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hards is an interesting choice McLaren

What in the actual fuck was that anthem? Completely unnecessary saxophone is always a choice

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Jeez, wtf is that Damian?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

LOL Lando's voice on the radio. He sounds pissed off!

That was a strange anthem

[–] BURN 5 points 1 year ago

Perez on softs?

Sainz fastest on hards?

Saxophone during God Save the King?

It’s been a GP of questions so far
