Before he lost the end plate? I thought he ran over some debris on the main straight which led to his drop in pace THEN he lost the end plate.

Before those he seemed to be cruising on the medium tyres.

He got the damage turning back to fast on Sainz I think as he over took him.

Maybe? I didn't see that if he did.

That’s what they said on commentary but it wasn’t shown. Was definitely weird how Max suddenly fell off a cliff considering he was on the more durable tyre :confused:

Any update on the punishment for Zhou, Hamilton etc for the starting infringement? I can’t find anything.
 
Just watched it. Great drive from George. Was checking in here expecting a stewards update.. nothing yet? :confused:

So does Sainz have a penalty? Is Hamilton starting P2?

Edit: weird how fast Sainz was compare to Charles?

Lewis is starting 2nd tomorrow as Carlos Sainz has a 5 place drop due to an engine change. All 3 drivers who were noted for start line infringements have been cleared so no action is being taken.
 
From the FIA

The Stewards reviewed the start sequence, as it was observed that multiple cars were potentially out of their grid box in violation of Article 8.6.1.a) of the FIA International Sporting Code, being either to the left or right of the grid box. Having reviewed all available angles of video, and making measurements on the grid, the Stewards noted that the grid boxes were slightly smaller than usual and that the drivers’ visibility makes compliance extremely difficult and that no driver was in a position that gained any advantage. The Stewards are therefore satisfied to take no further action.

So, during the rigorous track inspections that are done before the weekend, no one noticed that the grid boxes were the wrong size?

That's a new one on me. Painting the grid boxes too small...
 
I know RB have given up for the season etc etc but Merc have made great strides comparing to where they were first half of the season, if they can fully get this car concept working in 2023 who knows if it will end up being the right way to go….
 
Great sprint!

Alpine have to be careful, could well be a double dnf if those two don't play nice tomorrow.

Kind of unbelievable mclaren could take p4 in WCC with how much better alpine car is.

Alpines best driver this season? Daniel riccardo!

No doubt that was alonsos fault.

Does the sprint win count as an actual win in the stats?

Interested to see how merc play it if they come out first and second. Rbr have the straight line speed advantage but looked like they were both able to kick out of last corner better. Also Hamilton has had considerably better race pace this second half of the season. They'll probably end up tangling now...

Carlos has a new engine this weekend, they are usually much quicker with new engines

Can alonso do anything bar be bitter and complain?

Has 'some' right to be no? Alpine's engine failures have cost him a lot of points this season, Ocon as the TP said himself didn't leave him room, and in the end for what? Ocon finished down in 18th aways so it was all for nothing. Remember Ocon has form back from the FI days with Perez.

Should't have tangled when overtaking though. Mostly he's driven very this season but has been let down by the package.

Look forward to further spiciness from the pair since they'll be starting on the same row tomorrow.

No, it doesn't count as a win. So it was George's first win in F1 but it doesn't count. It's also Mercedes' 81st front row lockout but no pole position.

Alonso can feel aggrieved for sure with reliability. But this one is on him. Its effectively a double DNF because of his mistake.

Entertaining sprint. Great drive from George.

Why did they put Max on mediums?!

Alonso only has himself to blame for losing his front wing.

Still fully expect Max to win tomorrow..
