Ooh, the world's biggest douche is attending, too (Elon).
I was wondering who would host him, looked like Merc?
Merc had prince Harry. Would be shocked if they had multiple high profile guests. Just from a logistics - must be nightmare being concerned for multiple ones.
Please no talking, I'm braking
He really can't stress that enough!
The last one was bad.
Seems like he was really not liking his brakes at the end there, and I can only imagine what it's like to have a voice pop into your ear while feathering a brake pedal going ~300 kph.
Iβve used that twice today with my wife - also an F1 fan. When she asks me something I just go βno talking Iβm brakingβ and she gets super mad.
Norris leading driver of the day for losing a place vs someone who gained 5 spots to win is so weird.
people were hoping he could perhaps score his first win
"Hey, Leclerc, how do you feel about plan E, G, H and I?"
Brundle: "Ferrari with a whole filing cabinet of plans, again..".
But wait, now the cars will race eachother.
Edit: wow, they acted reasonable this time.
Traditions.
It seemed like Ferrari had started being competent with their strategy. But this race seems to be showing that they've still got a few mistakes up their sleeves.
They shouldn't have left Leclerc out there.
At a moment when basically their chances of a podium were gone. Too little too late.
Mercedes have messed this up.
Lewis is losing time hand over fist on these tyres, and they will lose time hand over fist on the last few laps of a hard tyre.
They gonna lose way more than a pitstop.
Don't understand why they have committed to the strategy with both cars
on TV they are acting like its the counter-max strategy, but they should be worrying more about Ferrari and the constructors, not worrying about chasing the pink elephant that is Max
THIS is why I'm not a DS :D
Hehe, "he just needs to follow Max, so he'll be fine".
Horner on Perez's chances in the race.
Close one there towards the end. Two more laps and Hamilton would've had it.
Nice to see Ricciardo still on the same form as before.
Checo will sleep a little easier tonight
Yeap, and Lawson rubbing his hands together, with an ominous look on his face.
First race back, limited practice time, bad strategy. He's got a lot to prove, but it's a bit harsh to judge him on this race.
Brewing to be a potentially interesting finish
Musk now owes the broadcast team a horse after that sucking off they just gave him.
That was a great race. Big 2021 reminder to me. I know max had issues and a bad quali, but it was exciting to see him have to work for this one
George: "Yup, I can make the tires last, I'll just make really wide turns, like I've been doing" /s
Alonso up to 9th from a pit lane start. Great stuff. Whatever "upgrades" they brought on Friday were truly disastrous. Stroll up to 10th as well.
Hamilton slowly gaining on Norris. Will his tyres last till the end?
Noooooo I jinxed Alonso :(
Why did you do this? :(
So, how many laps before Max is back on P1?
My money is on 10. Just to be cautious, he'll lose a place or 2 at the start, and then he'll start overtaking about one car per lap.
Dang Piastri retiring. Puts Ricciardo up in the points currently.
Norris pitted? Wow.
Everyone else probably gonna pit as well.
Hey, at least red bull is actually being forced to react to other teams now!
This seems like one of those times where Red Bull needed Perez to step up. Either by winning outright or by being a nuisance to the people chasing Verstappen.
Ferrari strategists strike again, incredible
Has there been any hard tyre running this weekend? How good are the hards?
No running on the hards, I think? At least not enough to know how they'll hold up. Only one practice session, with focus on qualifying, and only mediums and softs were run in the sprint.
McLaren is keeping it interesting. Though I do wonder why he wouldn't be able to run faster if they knew he was going to pit.
I would think that if the hards can last, Hamilton can win now.
F1TV via Multiviewer acting up for anyone? I'm having all sorts of buffering and hiccuping.
F1TV in general is acting up a bit. Lot of buffering going on. Seems better now, though.
I loved that fan's reaction. I hope they came together.
