Max in his own universe again…
However a fun race to watch, some exciting moments!
Very interesting sprint race. Battles everywhere you look.
VER comfortably ahead after an early scare, PER scraping through into 2nd.
RUS and HUL making good strategy calls salvaged their races for them.
LEC a touch unlucky in the pits messed up his attack. Getting tangled up with OCO didn’t help. SAI looked rock solid but unimaginative, just held on for dear life and drove to a podium.
STR really should have given ALO that place, every point counts if anyone is going to have even an outside chance of attacking VER for the championship.
OCO being his usual bullheaded self made him 7th, RUS raced him to the line and was 9 thousandths of a second behind.
Very entertaining. 8/10.
if anyone is going to have even an outside chance of attacking VER for the championship.
Verstappen is casually pulling a pit stop gap on people during a sprint. I don’t think anybody has an outside chance for the championship
The McLaren update looks good for quali so far but maybe not as strong in the race, have to see in a dry race first I suppose. Can’t wait to see if the supposed big Mercedes upgrades in Silverstone are any good!
Actually a very enjoyable sprint! I still prefer regular race weekends, but the last minute pitstops were an exciting mixup. George seems pretty good with his strategy, too bad he couldn’t find an extra tenth at the end. Oh and poor Lando losing so many positions in one corner lap 1. I hope he gets a podium this year.
We just need to do the rain dance on the Sprint weekends and it will be good. 😉😇😉😇😉😇
Finally a sprint race to enjoy, even with half a lap as a challenge for VER. All in all I still not like the sprint weekend. If it wasn’t for the wet track this race would have been boring.
So happy for HUL to get points and a good race. Race could have been even 2 laps longer.
The sprint format helped here. For a full length race, it would be a no brainer to put for slicks, but instead we had a gamble to stay in inters and hold on vs lose track position but gain a lot of pace. Very exciting.
