Finally, a non-Mercedes winner to spice things up on the championship! That VSC and pit stop timing for Lewis was just perfect, coming out exactly in front of Russell, amazing.

Audi once again giving us hope but reliability is still one of their enemies. Man, seeing that Hulkenberg pit stop not moving was just sad, was hoping for some points today with those good starting positions.

Yeah I felt sorry for Hulkenberg. He deserved better

Insane timing for Lewis. It's very weird to be saying "Ferrari masterclass" unironically.

When was the last time we had a genuine three-stopper? I know Qatar 2023 was it with the enforced 18 lap limit but was that the last time?

I can't remember but agree, vanishingly rare

Hope it works!

Oof, sucks for Antonelli and Leclerc. Especially for Kimi as it happened right after he finally managed to pass Russel :/

Some kind of mechanical failure. He also had a broken front wing so maybe he hit something?

Oh man wouldn't it be nice to see Mercs take each other out and have Max fight for his life against a Ferrari in Barcelona.

Edit: 10 year anniversary special no less.

Even if they don't, spending g time fighting just make a HAM win more likely

Possibly only if you give a fuck about lewis but this has been the best race of the season for me in terms of actual racing, so far (lap 50)

The racing has been good but not exactly plentiful. However, I have appreciated the strategy battle. While I'm happy for Lewis getting some luck, I do wish we would have gotten the tense finish we would have gotten without the VSC.

I see what you mean but there have been some nice legit overtakes. Definitely more of a tyre race though, you are right

Coelacanth 1 point 4 months ago

I mean, most have been just passes due to insane tyre delta and otherwise it's been mostly driving spread out so as to not to kill the tyres. F2 earlier had some actual nice moves though.

I thought both f2 races were very decent. Insane delta from camara in the feature. He's the f3 champ for a reason
