Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) discuss United's fantastic win away against Athletic Club in the semi-final of the Europa League.
They also pick out the positives of United's 4-3 loss away at Brentford, and Nik reviews a day out at Old Trafford watching Manchester United Women qualify for the Champions League.
Bit of both
and that is the point, I very much doubt he wanted to
Why is max pissed off about the 40s? If they red flagged immediately he'd still be out.
But he didn’t do it to purposefully get an advantage, even though with what happened got him a few extra grid places.
Someone drives the car, if he drives it into the barrier they are at fault.
Yep Red Bull fecked up (again) by not sending them out on inters fast enough. It's like they've swapped strategists with Ferrari or something.
Yes they are at fault but that doesn’t mean it’s pre meditated.
Red flag
Do you guys think people intentionally speed in the pit lane or should they not get punished for that either?
More red flags than my ex girlfriend here
Yeah OK , but also no, he did not put in in the barrier deliberately , it is stupid to say otherwise.
This is amateur hour, keep it on the track!
AM could have no cars on the grid
Max is going to get lucky with several not making the start/starting from the pit

Alonso just binned it again . Deliberate ?
Norris showing up when it matters
There is a lot of work to do for those crashed cars to make the race,
According to German Sky, they waited with the red flag because Stroll kept trying to restart and drive his three wheeled car
obviouslyAlonso just binned it again . Deliberate ?
Are people upset about the reg flag as it was Verstappen who missed out? If so I don’t think he can complain after getting the biggest rub of the green a couple of years ago.
looking at Alonsos crash, is there actually time for it to be race ready ?
He would've missed it with an immediate red flag as well unless he was like first in the restart queue
exactly
No, I was among the most annoyed by that. I am annoyed by this because it disincentives driving to the conditions. Which has a knock on effect on whether we get any racing at all.
Brunch has been cancelled... This is awful news
I hope some in this thread don’t watch football with all the blatant cheating that goes on every game. It’d do them in.Alonso just binned it again . Deliberate ?
Was there though? How much time was left at that point?
This qualifying has been genuinely pathetic. These cars are clearly too difficult to drive in the rain. Yes the drivers should be able to tone it down to keep it on track, but something is going wrong if drivers need to drive so far within themselves to keep the cars on the track.
There won’t be time for the race at this point.
It’s so funny to hear Max fans complain about decision making against Max though.
I'm not sure they'll be able to repair all these cars either.
I don’t mind Max, think he’s a great driver, but it is. It’s not always going to go your way.
If they do the engineers will have earned their wages this week.
I have at least 200 posts complaining about Max and I am the most vocal about this. Just saying.
Don't kid yourselves, if they go off like this in qualifying and the conditions don't significantly improve we will get 0 laps of actual racing.

Yeah immediate Red Flag wasn't going to save him. There was like a minute and a half on the clock when the yellows came out.
It's just poor management from Red Bull to leave it so late

I am not a Max fan but I do genuinely dislike inconsistency in regulations and application of rules. And me finding it funny will no doubt get misconstrued as some kind of Hamilton fan club view, but the reason i find it funny was because it was all entirely fine when the FIA did everything possible to make Max the F1 golden boy. And so it’s particularly hilarious because the shoes on the other foot now and the hypocrisy is not even trying to be concealed.
Alonso and Sainz are both very good drivers, if they are going of then I’d suggest it not a driver issue but a car design issue, or just the weather/track conditions.
And it’s meant to rain again shortly. The advantage of the race is once you get a few consistent laps in, the track inherently clears. But the way these cars are behaving, would we manage to get more than 2/3 laps without a safety car or red flag?
