    It’s not even hard to see that strategy was madness.

    Yes, Ferrari were even given clear signs from Alpine and Haas that the hard tyre was not a good choice.

    I wonder if George will move aside for Lewis to have a go at chasing Max down.

    Rain on the last lap could spice things up!

    That rain arrived just a few minutes too late.

    Mercedes could be a force to be reckoned with in the 2nd half of the season.

    Brilliant in the cool-down room.

    Lewis: “They were on the hards???”

    Everyone else bursts out laughing

    “Yeah!”

    Charles said he asked to stay on the mediums, and doesn't understand why they pitted for the hards.

    I'm presuming this is because Alpine wouldn't offer him a multi year deal (bloody stupid from them really).

    Guessing that means Piastri will be promoted to a race seat at Alpine, which is excellent. He’s very, very good.

    And I'd imagine that is the reason they didn't want to pay to retain Alonso for more than a year: they need to promote Piastri to the big leagues, or he'll go elsewhere.

    Also, this is dumb:

    https://jalopnik.com/toto-wolff-risk-of-brain-damage-from-porpoising-means-1849356193

    Not the bit about porpoising potentially causing brain injury, but the suggestion that all of the teams that do not have porpoising issues should change their designs to accommodate the teams that have failed to do so. If it's a safety issue, it's incumbent upon those teams to do the right thing today, and lobby for changes tomorrow.

    Or not. Alpine announced he would be Alonso's replacement. Now Piastri has said he won't.

    Piastri to McLaren, Ricciardo to Alpine seems to be the most likely
