not on about if no car was damaged etc it was handed to Ferrari they had the power on what they could do to get the maximum end to the race when the safety car came out , the others didnt Perez got lucky to get that pit stop and Lewis unlucky probably would have got 2nd if not figthing for 1st fresher hard tires and pace was looking good, hearing now they had 10 seconds to decide to pit charles for softs and on merit charles would have got P1 and Sainz would have had enough to hold onto 2nd worst case third
Gasly did absolutely nothing wrong. He's completely entitled to try and outdrag a slow starting car away from the start.
Look at his positioning here:
Nothing wrong with that at all.
No, he doesn't. He's improved a lot this year, but this was a shocker for him. He's likely going to cop a race ban this year at some point too, giving Lawson a chance to stake his claim to that seat.
Redbull car is just faster look at the way Max was ahead before it got damaged , Ferrari need to do try to get some more straight line speed
The choice for Charles was not straight forward as they didn't know everyone behind was going to pit. They couldn't be sure new tyres were better than track position.
The problem is that Max does it every single time. Whether it's for P8 or P1. Running someone off the road is inherently dangerous in this sport. It only takes a sausage kerb or a spot of gravel to flip a car and turn it into a missile as we saw this weekend. Max repeatedly giving no quarter on 50/50 corners is just going to cause a bad accident at some point. Quote the rules all you want, but it's reckless driving and he should be punished for it, or at the very least reigned in by a few 5sec penalties here and there.
I agree. We went round in circles on this after AD last year though. If there is a bad shunt the argument is that the cars need to bunch up to allow the track to be cleared. But perhaps it should just be a VSC or red flag. They seem keen on red flagging lately anyway... Perhaps the lower formulas can't do VSC? Anyone know?
Yeah I know, but if you look at Canada he couldn't pull away, so it's small margins. Max has been winning just about every race he's finished but it feels closer now.
but the Ferrari with DRS still couldnt over take , we know if it was the other way round he would have no problem., this race if the car wasnt damaged he would have been long gone imo
I have to agree, they need someone with some pedigree in the f1 world, Albon or de fries are the ones who stand out, obviously Piastri.
This is true, you get the impression that even in the same car Max would be 0.25 quicker than anyone else, maybe except for Lewis.

Modern fans are stupid and haven't been there in the past when things did go wrong!
