Piastri got unlucky with the SC timing, & the compound choice for Norris ultimately didn’t cost him P2.
On the other hand, hard for Sainz definitely cost him dearly.
Perez didn’t claw back positions as much as I thought based on the Austrian GP.
What was Stroll thinking, though? He just rammed into Gasly by cutting the corner, even though he should simply backed off at that moment to fight back a little later.
Rightful penalty even if that doesn’t make a difference for Gasly.
Should've
Methinks that had the race been 2 laps longer, Oscar would have taken third place considering Hamilton's tyres were shot! The SC timing certainly cost Oscar.
Took a while to warm up , but then a good race , some lucky, some unlucky with SC, the ret we all saw how the race went , so nothing needed
But I will , lol when Lucy was interviewed even though shed finished 3rd , she sounded very down, or neutral, which i found a bit odd, and King G , he was more upbeat but not once did he reference Lala, which again was odd? Has she been told shes out ?
STROLL qui a le culot de dire que Gasly ne lui a pas laissé assez de place...est-il conscient que l'on voit les images et qu'il est sanctionné pour cela ? Stroll, Ocon, Sainz, Perez, Verstappen (surtout les 2 premières années), ce sont les membres du club de la mauvaise foi. Jamais de leur faute, toujours en mode mensonge, Ocon, lorsqu'on lui dit qu'il a slalomé devant un autre pilote, il sourit et il en est fier.... Ocon, pilote français, ça fait mal à l'image de la team Alpine... Je préfère le club des honnêtes : Leclerc, Gasly, Russel, Norris, Albon. Dernier point : je trouve que Gasly est plus performant qu’Ocon, mais moins bien traité par son Team. A quoi joue Alpine ? Stratégie systématiquement en la défaveur de Gasly. Ex. Ce dimanche, avant la SC Gasly est P8, après, Gasly est P12 ! Bravo Alpine...
Even translated im not sure what you mean
Based on the cars everyone had to work with, I'd slot Max in at 5th.
Behind the RB/VER show a pretty damned good race. Hats off to the Brits.....teams, drivers AND fans for once again showing the world why GB is the motherland of racing. To borrow from Croft the drone.....'BRILLIANT'.
Can't believe Ferrari's choices again this race. Why would you pit Leclerc who isn't even in the pit windows yet for his mediums, while your rival behind is still on softs! And return to the track on a compound that's even slower, while you know this race has a 90% safety car chance and also has a threat of rain in the air.
You on the sherbet Leopold? Can’t believe none of the above noticed, they obviously don’t read your reports, or is it me?
LOL
Blo , spot on. I read the report amd thought that must have been wishful thinking for Norris winning.
Leopold is just seeing if you are paying attention!
Or is it the results of the 2024 British Grand Prix from his crystal ball? And now we know that Max will be going to Ferrari, Valtteri is going back to Mercedes, so George must be going to RB!
However, it is really great to have McLaren back where they belong, at the sharp end of the field. Let's hope it wasn't track specific.
Didn't he win?
Delivery for Leopold a crate of Grolsch to celebrate
If the safety car hadn’t come out Norris would have been behind Piastri after pitting. Lando will be the number 2 driver by the end of 2024 if not sooner.
