"I was just super unlucky" ROFL

 

[el_dazza]

Did Leclerc overtake 4 cars around the outside?!

 

[pioneer2000]

Piastri’s sarcasm is always appreciated

 

[Psycho Ned]

Max would be absolutely raging if another driver did that to him.

Just a Leroy Jenkins up the inside and hope for the best.

Piastri does need a pen for screwing Colapintos race up as well though but not gonna make much difference now anyway.

 

[.:MBK:.]

Gasly making that Alpine nice and wide

 

[Flibster]

FIA Stewards - Turn 6 incident involving Piastri and Colapinto under investigation - Causing a collision

Alpine have low key done not a bad job in the second half of the season really. That car was clearly last at the start of the season and has slowly improved.

 

[englishpremier]

Lol at Croty talking like the CC is particularly close. There's more than 20 points in it at the moment.

 

[Flibster]

FIA Stewards - 10 second time penalty for Piastri - Causing a collision

3x 10 second penalties for lap 1 incidents.

Anyone else feeling the FIA Stewards are being a touch vindictive since people started criticizing the FIA and MBS?

 

[imtoooldforthis]

such a stupid move - he was never making the corner on that line even IF the McLaren isn't there.

Yes he was, comfortably so

But there was another car there so he gets a deserved penalty

 

[SpartaP]

Martin just said it well regarding Max’s late lunge.

Now Oscar has a 10 sec penalty lol

All eyes on Norris, win required!

And what do you think happens if Norris DNF's?

 

[englishpremier]

And what do you think happens if Norris DNF's?

Yeah so discuss it then.

Worrying about a DNF would be like worrying about an injury in a tennis match.

 

[Stumble Bum]

Yeah so discuss it then.

Just bizarre.

Not really, just needs to not be out scored by the Ferraris enough to overturn the 21 point lead

 

[Flibster]

FIA Stewards - Incident involving Zhou under investigation - False start

Race control - Incident involving Albon noted - False start

 

[englishpremier]

Just bizarre.

It is yes. When Norris is in the lead and Mclaren were due to score more points then Ferrari anyway, despite Ferrari needing to overcome a 21 point deficit. There no need to keep going on about it when there's good racing going on elsewhere. Wait until it starts getting close.

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Leclerc is on a mission.

And what do you think happens if Norris DNF's?

Statistically what’s the chance of that though? Norris has had 1 DNF this season hasn’t he? So less than 5% of races he’s not finished, surely money is on a clean finish where he’s leading currently
