    Boring race yesterday. Terrible start by Norris but ended up winning by roughly 20 seconds. If he knew how to start he would win most races. I’m yet to see him make a competent start.

      @Billy-Tell it was strange eh, he just kept putting time on Max, but no one behind max was making a dent on him until he realised he was safe.

      Piastra flying up on le Clerc then just settling in behind him wasn't flash from him.

        It's a boring track but McLaren's progress under these current regs is astonishing. Their car was originally back of the grid terrible and in the space of a few seasons it's now clearly the fastest car on the track. With two very capable drivers I can see McLaren winning the constructer's championship.

          What is the gap right now? RB must be worried as it's basically one car vs two

              Sargent binned. Finally.

              Never even looked like being up to it.

                Should have been dropped awhile ago.
                But replaced by Franco Colapinto, currently 6th in F2, personally not expecting great things.

                  It's funny he gets canned finally when he's actually not come in last the last 6 races. Even almost broke the top ten in GB!

                      I think he can thank Liberty Media and Dorilton Capital. They'd want an American driver and unfortunately they chose this donkey:

                      Wheels on wet grass, plants the accelerator unleashing 1000 hp and predictably bins it. In the end even his countrymen got sick of the cost of him.

                          @antipodean I feel like he'd already thrown it in a few races ago. I remember seeing an interview earlier in the season or maybe just hearing a radio clip and the guy was so disconsolate with a real air of FML, tough watch/listen.

                          Strange they didn't just call it then.

                            Great race that. Fair play to Ferrari for backing a 1 tyre change strategy. Leclerc can apologise - his team got that spot on.

                              Eventful race

                              Piastri wins.

                              Sainz and Perez going for third crash into each other with a couple of laps left

                                Yeah that was a great watch. Perez trying to blame Sainz when it was clear Sainz was drifting across and Perez just stayed straight even though he was behind is laughable.

                                  That was a fantastic F1 race. And I just gave my daughter a piastri hoodie for her birthday 🙂

                                    McLaren now leading the constructor champions, and Norris did about an good a job of damage limitation as you could imagine - passing Verstappen on track to chip a couple more points off him.

                                    This title will be the closest in years, and those points might be decisive in the final washup

                                          It felt like their lead dissolved mid season though. Maybe I haven't been paying enough attention...
