Max's car fucks up (power) and starts 10th.
Lewis' car fucks up (DRS) and starts 7th

Wow - brilliant for George!

Good F2 race. Looks like rain isn’t far away from scrambling the order completely

 

[The Bear]

Looks like the rain has started to spit a tiny bit and is on its way for the race. Should make it interesting.

Though wasn't Russell's one and only chance of winning, when he stepped into the Mercedes while at Williams, ruined by rain?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

No. Mercedes utterly fucked his pit stop strategy. And then for cherry on top of that particular cake he got a puncture.

Yeah you're right, just Googled it. Mixed tyre compounds fitted, then a puncture.

 

[Kenny]

Yep. They put Bottas' tyres on his car so he had to go back in. Flew back through the pack and got a puncture. Somehow still got points.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Russell is considered decent in the rain. Not Hamilton levels, but very decent.

 

[Kenny]

Ferrari with another top call...

Might get away with after Max went for a spin though

 

[Kenny]

Or not

 

[The Bear]

Ferrari's strategy team are rubbish.

 

[Nando]

That is sensational levels of shit from Ferrari.

 

[Tredman]

Switched it on about 15 minutes ago and totally confused about how they have managed to fuck this up so magnificently.

 

[Kenny]

Interview with Max before the race he said he gets on well with Ferrari...no shock when they keep handing him wins.

Shocker of a call on Leclerc today.

 

[Nando]

Alonso to Aston on a multi-year deal. I'm not surprised at the outcome, but very much at the speed of it!

Rossi and Otmar have wanted him gone all season. At least it gets Piasti into a decent seat.

 

[Nando]

Seems like Alpine have conspired to lose Piastri and Alonso. Great effort.

 

[Kenny]

Where is Piastri off?

I know McLaren were sniffing around

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Where is Piastri going then?

 

[Tredman]

Williams apparently

 

[Nando]

McLaren is the big rumour. Seems like they may have found an agreement with him prior to Alpine engaging their option when they found out Alonso was off.
