Yeah sprint weekend is not great to get back into the swing of things really.

Ferrari v Verstappen tomorrow provided they qualify well.
Maybe McLaren will figure something out in qualifying.

Lando almost had Charles as a passenger there.
Yeah, that went well.

Meanwhile, at Ferrari HQ:
“Why is the guy we are binning in front of both our 2025 drivers again?”

Sigh, Lando covered the inside line like many others had done all race to stop similar passes. Hopefully nothing will come of it.
It was the last lap, Charles wanted to send it but should have also seen it coming.
*edit*
He also chose the tighter line to defend, you take the tighter line you have to brake earlier.
Charles just got caught out, then of course had to moan about it like they all do.

Like the nothing that happened to Alonso for doing pretty much the same thing? Drive through penalty converted to 20 seconds post race.
I have just edited my post, but Alonso took the normal line and lifted off/braked way earlier.
Lando took a tighter line, had to brake earlier to hit the apex and thus Charles nearly had Lando as a hat.

I just don't understand Red Bull's thinking on keeping him. The fact that he's fighting with the sister team says it all really. Great sprint race really enjoyed that roll on qualy!
1.5m from the white line. Ensures that at least one wheel remains on the black bit rather than just skirting the very edge of the white line.
Cooked the tyres it sounded like.

Tyres that are fast on a single lap have no longevity in a hot race over several it seems...
