    Why when they do picture in picture do they remove the time gap time between Checo and Lewis?

    Stroll passes off the track. Absolutely silly.

    A few mistakes/misjudgements from Perez today that could cost him.

    No way perez catches from here?

    No enough laps unless he can take 1.5 seconds a lap.

    He is the type thst needs 3 or 4 bites to pass.

    Looking at vettel here the 2 stop is clearly fastest was given ocon is still sitting 8th and vettel who had the pace is 10th.

    Perez has to burn these tyres to catch up. 1.5 seconds a lap imo.

    I dont think it's right. I think it's just mid table and letting red bull and max **** up the rest.

    Park it on track to cause a safety car to completely screw Checo!

    Three laps shy of going the whole season without a mechanical DNF for Mercedes.

    Verstappen will be laughing. He parked it in front and never let a gap open for a 2 stop strategy.

    Red bull pulled in perez to avoid issues imo.

    Great effort from Leclerc. Car didn't look fast enough and i'm still unconvinced that the one-stop was right.

    I dont think it was personally. Nobody really committed to a full on 2 stopper anyway. Med hard hard is not a full on 2 stopper imo.

    not after Gasly and Albon had a fight in front of him, that ended his chance.

    So, what happens in 9 months when we find out RBR went over budget again?

    Well, in a way I’m glad the season is over.

    The competitive order writing was on the wall once the FIA intervention on ride heights came in. It destroyed Ferrari completely (Red Bull would still have seen off their challenge but would have lasted longer).

    I’m not sure the budget cap necessarily has had the desired impact and may have limited midfield team development as well as the top teams.

    We need a good winter for the tech teams to design out the 2022 flaws and begin to close up.
