    Debris on track on the straight not being picked up seems dangerous.

    Oop looks like a Sauber ran over it as I was typing. Hamilton puncture.

    Incredibly sloppy race direction.

    There’s absolutely no way on earth that the finishing order on track will be the finishing order given by the FIA 3 days from now. How on Earth does this absolutely ridiculous organisation still helm this sport? Are they all fucking drunk??

      They will have to examine who else didn’t lift for the yellow and give them all a 35 second penalty…

      10 second penalty coming in tomorrow morning for being just an all around upstanding dude, dropping him to 11th place.

    The commentary being salty about British drivers being punished is so delicious. They complain it’s inconsistent but honestly it’s the first time I think British drivers are being punished to the same degree as others have always been.

      I have no problem with the safety ones being penalised like that, they are really lax with it most of the time.

      The problem is that because the stewards change all the time their harshness keeps changing.

      For the stop go - as long as everyone else gets checked and similarly penalised then it’s fine. Norris SHOULD have lifted, if even a token lift.

        I do agree that with changing stewards it’s stupid. But when you look at how Norris went unpunished for literally creating an extremely unsafe situation after the aborted start it’s high time they start giving out harsher penalties. And I’m undoubtedly biased myself but it’s always British drivers who get away with that bullshit it seems.

          Might just be that there are loads of British drivers on the grid ATM.

    False start, puncture, speeding in the pitlane penalty for Hamilton. What an awful day for him.

    Gasly in P5 going underappreciated. Alonso has also had an excellent recovery drive up to P7.

    A real shame for this mirror to not be picked up under vsc. Now a safety car is needed and I don’t see how they cannot go through the pitlane

    Dang Russell’s race went from bad to worse with that pitstop. Free podium for Piastri.

    Wew what a start.

    Great start for Verstappen. Norris also got the jump on Russell.

    Unfortunate for Colapinto. More damage 😭 At least it wasn’t his fault.
