A race without Ferrari feck up. What sorcery is this?
Now watch them having below minimum fuel or smth.

Did you not see the crap penalty for Russell earlier? It's a F1 problem they have had for a long time. Different stewards, different calls on penalties.That’s a bullshit call from the stewards there.
Shhh doesn't fit the narrativeThat was the best defending Max has done since Brazil 2021. Norris should have made easy work of that pass.
Real story is the Ferrari have the fastest car on a proper race track and might win the constructors.
If lando moved a split second later under breaking, it would be a yesIf leclerc won the rest of the GPs, could he challenge max going into the final race of the season?
it's getting to that stage where we need a max DNF to really spice things up.If lando moved a split second later under breaking, it would be a yes
max keeps the car in the track limits then it’s a no brainer, the fact he didn’t makes it a lot more grey.That was some great racing by Max and Norris.
That penalty though. By the rule book, I guess it is. But what is Norris meant to do there? It just means the guy on the inside can push the person off and not give them space and the person on the outside has to go behind.
But perhaps that’s where the apex thing comes in.
I dunno, it’s a funny one.
Yeah it’s a strange one. And it seems inconsistently applied a bit at times too.max keeps the car in the track limits then it’s a no brainer, the fact he didn’t makes it a lot more grey.
This is true. Absolute masterclass in defending from Max but still Norris had such a huge advantage it was really poor driving for him not to capitalize on it.That was the best defending Max has done since Brazil 2021. Norris should have made easy work of that pass.

I think the thing that makes it slightly grey here is that Norris would have been ahead at the apex, had Max not slammed his breaks late and run wide himself. And if Norris was ahead at the apex then I believe he wouldn’t have gotten a penalty.Not try to hang on round the outside, do a switchback. Get the better exit. Get alongside Max or past him through the next section.
I dont understand how so many people who are that socially awkward make it to positions like his. Oh wait ..i do know.Bin Sulayem having to grab Leclerc just so he can get his airtime and feel like he’s important with a handshake.
Probably 2 for Charlesit's getting to that stage where we need a max DNF to really spice things up.
Team didn’t help with the “ahead at the apex” comment, personally if it’s 50/50 I would tell him to give it back and have another crack.Definitely Norris should have given it back and he would have been able to get past you feel in the next 3 laps. No need to risk it really.
Gravel after the fastest and top speed straight and a deep braking zone? One lock up and there will be problems. It’s that type of set up as to why they moved to run off areas.Austin is a great track but what would make it even better is smoothing out the apex of turn 12 and putting some gravel on the outside to stop any more of that 'two cars running wide' while fighting business.
The star spangled banner?The best anthem.

Looking forward to the day they drop off the pace.RB are so unlikable
As a team they make a lot of mistakes. You only have to look at the daftness of Russell's penalty to know, today the stewards are not going to be lenient and allow racers to race. Therefore that move should have been immediately, given the place back. Go again at him, you have a few more laps.Team didn’t help with the “ahead at the apex” comment, personally if it’s 50/50 I would tell him to give it back and have another crack.
