It’s nearly time for lights out!
Will Lewis be able to fend of Max? Can the McLarens move forward? Will the Alfas manage to stay high up the order, and can Danny Ric score points on his return to Formula 1?
Find out all this and more, next time on Dragon Ball Z!
Alpine having a nightmare.
Ouch
Zhou bowling! Strike!
Piastri is so impressive. One to watch out for. McLaren can let Lando go and still have a top driver now
What happened regarding the first pit stop though? Piastri’s stop was faster than Norris’, but this Norris managed to undercut him. Are they on different strategies?
Undercutting your own teammate is bound to raise questions. Hopefully we get answers after the race.
Also a slow stop for Piastri. He’s being robbed of a podium for a second time.
Afterwards he was pretty off the pace He was consistently slower than Noris. At first I thought he just had slow targets, maybe he had tire management issues, I have no idea.
Does piastri have some sort of damage. His pace has dropped like a stone in the 2nd and 3rd stint
Emotional damage from his teammate getting the preferred pitstop?
Update: Apparently there was a broken floor issue. Don’t know how, didn’t see him make any contacts. PIA better hope he does not inherit HUL luck.
Yeah he went from matching Lando to becoming 7 tenths slower. Only damage can explain that.
Don’t know how, didn’t see him make any contacts
Must have been like Hamilton in austria in 2021 where the his wing was damaged due to a kerb. Considering how low the floors are, he must hit the kerb at the chicane
Very big gains and losses on lap 1. Good for Ferrari and McLaren, mixed bag for Merc, Alfa and Alpine the big losers.
How much damage is RIC carrying? Been at the bottom since the lap 1 incident.
It’s also his first race back in a car that has done poorly all season
True
Alpine… sheesh.
Fucking Ferrari! The car is shit, the strategists are shittier and now the drivers are fucking up.
Why am I supporting this team?
Well, masochism is a thing. So, whatever floats your boat. ;-)
Zhou had the worst start possible, ending 4 promising races. Lewis also got caught out.
What a quick end to a lot of potential fun :(
I just laughed because I noticed Verstappen could pit again and still get back on track in first position.
33 seconds ahead. 33 seconds. Scary.
He’s missing his old number
Oh wow both Alpines out in the first lap. Yikes.
Zhou into Riccardo and then Riccardo into an Alpine, and then into another Alpine.
I missed the first 5 laps, wtf happened?
Zhou got a late start and went bowling instead.
I just watched the clip… Crazy. Alpine has the worst fucking luck this season.
They swapped straight to the podium positions and started the circular procession.
Most significant was Renault-domino (I’m going to ignore the Alpine brand for the rhyme): Zhou bumped into Ricciardo, who bumped into an Alpine, who bumped into an Alpine.
Ferrari strategists having another brain fart. Car with potentially faster tyres is stuck behind his teammate:
RB 1.9s pit stop?
Ferrari’s resident strategist Sainz at it again.
