This replacement guy is pretty bad. I’d much rather have David Croft there.Refreshing to not have Crofty commentating all the wrong info
Norris is second in the WDC right? I wonder if or when they might start giving team orders. Piastri definitely didn’t help Lando’s race. Lando has the pace (just) and seniority tbh..
Also, I was just saying to my other half that there no point going round the outside of Max as he’ll just push you off. 3 seconds later Lando goes for the lunge, quite correctly. Shame he couldn’t make it stick.

Damn it. Got the time wrong for the Sprint, was it any good?
You can watch the extended version tomorrow
That’s my prediction. Bit of racing between the McLarens and Max, then the expected result when push comes to shove.

Nico Hulkenberg receives a 10-second time penalty to be added to the end of the sprint and 2 penalty points for forcing Alonso off track.
Soldato
Lando and Max are very good mates off track. He might run Lando close to the gravel, but he won’t Hamilton him.
Soldato
Who? Bernie?
Harry Benjamin

His always been over 15 seconds behind max. The first two seasons of this current reg, perez finished 2nd but was still 20 plus seconds behind max. It just shows you how dominant and fast the car, not the driver was in 22 and 23.
I’m just quoting this for posterity

A bit annoyinh that Lando looked like he was trying to win and Piastri looked like he was racing for second.
Soldato
Then Lando should have overtaken him.
I can't keep up, where are we in the "OcUK Motorsport Forum Cycle Of 'Team Orders - Good Or Bad'™"? We're back on them being good now that it could help a Brit again, yeah?
I think we’re in the stage of if it helps anyone beat Verstappen then go for it.I can't keep up, where are we in the "OcUK Motorsport Forum Cycle Of 'Team Orders - Good Or Bad'™"? We're back on them being good now that it could help a Brit again, yeah?

They were never going to give team orders for the sake of 1 single point, maybe if it was squeeky bum time near the end of the season and he was still in with a shout but not with the points situation as it currently is.

It was a pretty standard race scenario, but I guess since it’s Max people will lose their minds.
Let’s no forget that Lewis literally hit Sainz and pushed him wide in Spain last week.
