Christ, yeah Lewis slow right down and then wave the chap through

 

[PuntsWolf]

Fucking hate Max. Such a cunt. Lewis barely even turned when he saw him coming and Max just came in like a wrecking ball way too deep. The sooner he fucks off when he cba when he doesn’t have the best car the better

Remarkable statement finding a way to part blame Lewis for a complete knobhead blasting his way through with no thought about the possible end consequences. Wonder what they'd have done had he taken Hammy out?

Quali in the rain.

Max quickest by a mile but has a 10 place grid pen.

Means front 3
Charles on pole, followed by Perez and Lewis.

 

[Kenny]

Well! A Merc 1-2.

In the end a great call from George to just do 1 stop. Held off Lewis superbly

 

[Nando]

Unbelievable drive from George.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Is he definitely going to be #1 at Merc next season?

They don't really do #1 there unless it's vital for a drivers championship

Russell's car looks to be underweight. Disqualification incoming

Now confirmed.

Lewis wins 3 hours after the chequered flag

That's gutting. But it's a simple rule, shouldn't be falling short of the weight limit.

 

[The Bear]

Shame for George.

It's good to see so many teams competing for poles and wins now Red Bull have gone backwards a bit.

Should be a good end to the season hopefully. Just in time for them to change the rules again...

Thoughts from Mercedes that Russell switching to a one stop, caused excessive wear and weight loss across his tyres.

Gutting for him.

Gutting for him.

And without the warm down lap to pick up marbles no doubt a factor also then - suspect that is the type of weight they can get close to finding

 

[Nando]

Sainz signs for Williams on a two year deal.

 

[Kenny]

Load of rumours that Perez will be binned in the mid season break. Somehow Danny Ric in contention despite being basically very average since returning to F1. Unless the plan is to put him there of the 2nd half and let Lawson build up in the AT ready to take the 2nd RB seat next season

 

[Carrotdude]

They’ll just have the same issue unless they a) get their dominant car back or b) bring in a top quality second driver. Max gas destroyed Gasly, Albon, and now Perez. Unless Ricciardo somehow just becomes good again in a red bull (which I assume they’re hoping for) then it’ll keep happening. Lawson wouldn’t stand a chance.

 

[Kenny]

I guess all they want right now is someone to put the car in with the McLarens and Merc to secure the constructors title.

Perez has lost whatever confidence he had and RB look like they have given up on him completely
