This sprint race was quite entertaining
Well that was better entertainment than a practice session, particularly with the drying track. The wet tyres are still a joke.
Hamilton’s penalty seemed harsh.
Nice to see Piastri show what he can do, and no doubt he’ll learn from the re-start experience — although I suspect Max would have had the pace to get past eventually in any case. Good for Gasly and Alpine also.
Harsh penalty for Lewis — I’m with Brundle on that one.
I am not. Lewis was not fully along side. Made contact, had room to spare, broke the other car. I don’t think he would get the 5sec when Perez car was intact.
That he broke the other car has no influence on the penalty, thus damage or not, he was getting the penalty.
I notice that the community is often dead during the sprint races. Any reason behind that¿?
General engagement numbers have dropped off a little since the initial Lemmigration. I suspect it’ll improve over time. Also, it’s in the middle of the day on Saturday. A load of people will not stay at home both days of the weekend to watch F1.
Really not a fan of sprint races, they were a fun idea but now I just think that they take away from the actual gp.
