Max getting very wound up
Hopefully albon on hards will be 1 stop

At least with the Spanish TV's focus on Sainz we'll get to see a bit of the race for 9th.

Great between Lando and Charles. Shame it’s for such lowly positions.

 

[ched999uk]

Rain would make this interesting at the front.

 

[eddie_squidd]

Bugger.

 

[ched999uk]

Here come the pit stops

 

[SgtBhaji]

Bugger.... Thought we were getting a safety car.

 

[ched999uk]

Does that maybe shed a little light on Vettel spinning?

 

[ched999uk]

I think red bull are expected rain as told max to go for and not worry about tyres.

Don't think so.

They doing a ctrl+alt+delete on that Ferrari?

Could be. Otherwise the Red Bull seems harder on the tyre than the Merc in these warm conditions which was pretty much the opposite to what we were expecting.

 

[TopClass]

This has been pretty turgid hasn’t it?

Expected a lot more from Bottas today.

The harder tyres this week were always in Mercs favour but thought Red Bull maybe closer. Hamilton to be fair has been flawless.

There’s no excuse for Bottas not to be second in this race

Vettel could drop like a rock here.

 

[TopClass]

Sergio Perez a full MINUTE behind the original Mercedes in his copier version.

Another reminder that B and C teams are not the model for competition but actually just make the main team stronger.

I actually felt disheartened when I heard Ottmar talking about hoping for 4th and 5th today- if you go through all that fuss of technical arguments with copying and that’s all you can hope for, what’s the point?

 

[TopClass]

As usual the rain cloud acting like a giant cock tease.

 

[ched999uk]

So tracing point..... If Stroll gets within 5 sec he gets 4th but if Vettel can get close Perez could lose 2 places! It's a team sport maybe unless your dad owns the team?

 

[Big Ern]

Grosjean, what a twat.

Hopefully the point is to learn and use that knowledge to build a better car in 2022? Not a copy every year, think FIA put stop to that.

Grosjean, what a twat.

They're gotta sort him out before he causes a big one.
