Perez dead last 
Another SC would really feck this race up for RBR.
Not defending his particular action, but F1 has gotten way too sterile over the years for a host of reasons. Either way - these penalties are giving Liberty and F1 actually what it wants again. Max is an indirect cash cow for everyone making money off the sport.
Yep, may as well negate his penalty by Lando dnf'ing
Norris in DRS
Fireworks coming!
Fireworks coming!
Was Verstappen questioning T4 overtake from Norris? Norris pretty much played him there, getting ahead at the apex forcing Verstappen to give him racing room, which he was never going to
Also Sainz has managed to pull out 5s quietly on Leclerc.
Norris has to be so incredibly careful here
Perez doesn't get a penalty while he too forced people off the track. These rules are shambolic man.
Perez should have 2 penalties, he forced Lance and Liam off
Brundle makes a good pt that the pit should have told him to hand the place back. RB strategy has been dropping some major balls lately as well.
If Max has his head on, he just needs to hold Norris up enough to negate any chance of him catching Ferrari. But seems Max in?
Horrible stop for Max.
You love to see it
You love to see it
Pit. He was traumatised.Norris in DRS
Fireworks coming!
But this is the exact issue right? His team enable him. They are too arrogant to give that place up as they are too busy convincing Max he drove well. It’s a multitude of factors.
Verstappen will probably end up 6th here, Norris if 3rd only loses him about 7 points outright. So crucial it was not to let Norris win here
20s penalty and he’s still ahead of Perez
Perez is pathetic.
Perez is pathetic.
Max still ahead of Perez even with his 20 sec penalty
RB as a team have completely imploded. No way Max will stay with them.
Let’s see what Norris can do VS the Ferrari’s with free air. Doesn’t appear to be making a dent initially.
Feels like Sainz is doing his best driving for Ferrari now that there is no pressure for his future there.
Perez got damage due to his antics with Lawson20s penalty and he’s still ahead of Perez
Perez is pathetic.
Has he ever been “bad” in it though?
Not sure it's that simple in that case. I presume they didn't expect the second penalty and in that case I guess not giving the place back makes a bit more sense.
I know, but still. The optics are enough to at least
Worse than first, certainly
. Not Perez bad, but he did have his stints of not keeping up with Charles last year.I think it’s safe to assume at least 1 penalty and it still would have made sense. It’s never “simple” in F1, but it was as simple as it gets in this case and other teams are much more sensible. As I said, lots of factors, but RB operate in a ridiculous bubble and it’s obvious.
Now if one of these back markers could trip Max up and make him dnf to make the championship more exciting...
To make the last few races, we really need a Norris win. I think Max will make 6th minimum. Obviously any SC and all bets are off
hamilton to channel some 2021 frustration and just turn his car into a max dive bomb.
Max winning the championship despite having a shit car and even shitter teammate, while exposing himself and not being a boring dullard who only wants to defend his lead, is why he wins so many hearts. My GOAT.
Are they do? Merc made plenty of stupid decisions like that and McLaren did just last race. Let's not even bring up Ferrari
Yes probably why Verstappen doesn't care about the consequences when all he needs is stop Norris from winning
Why not Box Piastri?
Who said it was a dull race
Madness that Piastri is still out there.
I like him because he's openly an asshole. Not like Hamilton and Norris that try to be likable, but then turn to assholes as the first sign of adversity.
Is leclerc too far behind in the championship for Ferrari to order a swap in the latter stages of the race if they are still 1st and 2nd?
Max is going to get a solid haul of points here
