That was fun!
Good race overall, and this is what happens when you have similar performance cars, different winners quite often.
Both Sainz and Leclerc deserve some statue for keeping with both Piastri and Norris in the standings, despite having few levels worse car than them. Sainz finishing at Williams is one of the worst things about F1 while shite drivers keep their seat at better teams.
It will be fun end of the season too, more of this please.
Oh, and Lando seems like a great loser!

I think Oscar will win a WDC, just not sure about several. He s so calm and collected but doesn't have the lunatic part of him that also marked the multiple WDC winners like Michael, Lewis, Seb, Max etc. But hey that may still come out.
Agreed. Piastri clearly has the higher ceiling between the two. Lando is ahead solely due to the extra years with the team & in F1; wouldn't be surprised at all if Piastri is past him as of next year in the WDC.
He reminds me of Prost in many ways.
Yeah that's fair. Relatively unassuming and calculated. Someone we may not fully appreciate until the dust has settled.
It’s just the sense I get from him. This is only his second season remember. I think he had some tyre management issues last year but he seems to have ironed those out. He just seems to have that it factor for me.
Oscar's calmness may stand him in good stead if fighting for a championship, no rash decisions/wild lunges out of frustration etc, it'll be interesting as Max is almost the opposite and rather emotional
Starting to think Lando is a bit "wet" for want of a better word, good driver, but absolute top tier? I'm not sure, e.g. his starts. Quite a lot of the championship winners have been ruthless, is he almost "too nice"? Like someone said, a touch of the Danny Ric about him

Wow that's ridiculous tyre management

Brilliant photo
Why is he holding a honeycomb?

Looks like Magnussen has got to 12 penalty points and is going to get a race ban.

That’s a great pic, I’ve got almost the reverse from 2007, taken from the stands looking over the crowd at the podium with Hamilton, Alonso and Kimi up there.
Found it:
Was hoping to see your big face holding a trophy.Found it:
I remember that race weekend, Ron Dennis' face reflected a man who knew he was going to get f*cked by the FIA the following week.Found it:
I mostly remember being absolutely hammered on Moretti.
And Kimi’s huge crash in FP3 (I think?).
I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. That's akin to getting hammered on Heineken or Fosters.

It’s not even close tbf
True, the other two are arguably a step above it.
Typical foriner can't even pick his beers
We weren’t exactly blessed with a great variety of options, but Moretti is far from the worst lagers out there.
Agreed but Peroni is actually good and less expensive, if you want a mainstream beer you can find anywhere. Poretti is great and also really cheap
I personally think all the mainstream lagers are shite. I go for a Guinness if there's no decent craft beer/German lagers.
Lads, it was a fecking F1 circuit over 15 years, you drank what they had.
Fair enough. When there is nothing else - it's still beer. And beer is good.
Sounds like it was a decent race, will watch the highlights later.

Magnussen will miss the Azerbaijan GP as the FIA confirm the penalty points received during his clash with Pierre Gasly in today's race sees him reach the 12 penalty point limit in a 12 month period.

Highlights are the way to go. It was a snoozefest at times.
I think I'm relinquishing my predictions title, woeful atm 
What a great race!
Very good race from Leclerc.
I don't think Lando deserves any swapping around for more points, he's still a flakey driver under pressure, I hoped he'd toughen up a bit by now.

Man I'd love to go to a GP at Monza
Incredible scenes throughout, looks a cracking event to be in attendance at

Delighted KMag got a race ban, can't stand that fecker, ridiculously unnecessarily aggressive driver who ruins other people's races way to often. Can't wait until he's gone next season.
Newey could be announced at Aston Martin as early as Friday this week.
Alonso is so going to miss out on a Newey rocket isn't he, his timing (of getting old) continues to be impeccable.
Aston is such a bizarre pick if true. Stroll is such a nothing driver and Alonso in an OAP.
Nothing bizarre about it, quite logical if anything. Honda engine from 2026, Fallows and Alessi already part of the team there, new factory and investment in technology. Local to his current base.
