Norris hit the wall and damaged suspension, a few others kissed the wall but nothing unusual, just seemed like Ferrari worked well.
Was really hoping Sainz was going to cling on for pole. Think the winner tomorrow might be a foregone conclusion, but the podium battle should be interesting.
Norris bottled that IMO, given the chance to put a big distance between himself and Piastri he looked to play it too safe. A few of the red flags seemed a bit unnecessary, not sure what that’s going to mean for the race tomorrow, but it could lead to a lottery result. Good result for Antonelli and nice to see Tsunoda in the top 10 finally. Pity for Sainz, but also interesting what this means for RedBull’s performance for the last 1/4 of the year - you’d have to say this has been Max’s weakest track through the GE era, the championship has gone unless McLaren implode, but based on the last 2 weekends he could be up and for the win more often than not?
With Ferrari and it’s drivers falling apart it would have been an awesome “curse of Carlos Sainz” moment
It's being suggested that Williams fuelled for multiple laps but Ferrari only fuelled for a single flier and that didn't help Lewis. Great to see Williams at the sharp end, hope they can get a big haul of points - would be good to see Carlos on podium.
He jumped the start , it went into anti stall , ended up last and lost it under breaking and crashed .
If Pia penalty goes to the next round then FIA doing there classic thing trying to keep the title race going, got history of that. 1994 the classic example of that and more.
Very much looking forward to new regulations now. It's been pretty boring on track this year honestly. Where's the racing? In terms of the title, Oscar had an abysmal weekend, but with Lando gaining less than they get from a normal 1-2 weekend, he still feels like the bigger loser of the two
