Bottas pushed Russell on to the grass. His fault

Yeah having seen that shot from behind it was a bit naughty of Bottas, pushing Russell right over to the edge of the track at that speed. He goes over the white pit exit line which is just a bit wider than a car width.

He should get some points on his super licence for that.

A day for Merc to file in the bag of shit section.

Fair to say they had a helping hand in rescuing the day. Agent Bottas...

Interesting to see the explanation as to why Bottas sat at the arse end of the top 10, struggling v a Williams and Lewis got from 8th to 2nd (I know he restarted 9th but Kimi gave up his place).

Piss easy for Max after the red flag, even if he did try and push his car off as the safety car left the track

Nice to see the second red bull seat is still cursed. Really messy race from Perez and he couldn’t get himself back through the field in a race winning car.

I feel like the cars being closer in general this season will show up Bottas’ weakness, the car doesn’t have the advantage he’s used to so will drop more points as he won’t be 2nd by default. Lewis is having to drive the shit out of that car to be fastest at the moment.

Yes - it was far worse than any race Albon had last year. It will be interesting to see if this continues.

Couple of penalties yesterday, Stroll demoted one position for overtaking Gasly off the track (I think). Gasly goes up to 7th.

Kimi 30 second penalty puts him out the points, Ocon goes to 9th and Alonso to 10th. Something to do with the restart and not getting back into position. https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/raikkonen-loses-points-after-post-race-penalty-at-imola/6334703/

George Russell, sensing he has pissed off Toto ,has decided to take the blame for his incident with Bottas.

Canada cancelled again this year. Turkey steps into the calendar as the replacement.

Stunning drive from Mazepin. 63s behind his team mate and some of the worst back marker driving you'll ever see with when murdering Perez.

 

[Kenny]

Is Mazepin a paid seat? Can't see any reason why he has been bumped up to F1 at all

 

[Bulderdash]

Yeah, Haas have changed their livery to the Russian flag colours too so they are being paid a good chunk for him.

I'd think with the new regs next season Haas knew they were going to be at the back and that they may as well take the cash for a year and invest it in next year's car plus it gives Mick an easy win in his first year.

Mazepin puts it on the grass on his first lap of FP1. I am shocked at this unexpected development.

Competition winner.

He really is the very definition of "spoiled brat", isn't he?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

He’s certainly completely crap at this level.

Haas needed the money to get ready for next year, daddy has LOTS of money.

Maybe daddy is going to buy Haas out and be a lesser Lawrence/Lance Stroll team

 

[Nando]

He's an odd one - I didn't expect him to be as poor as he's been so far as he does have at least some pedigree in F2 and F3. He's a complete arse though - Charles was scathing of him this morning and if he carries on like it the only inevitability is a big incident.

 

[Law's Bus]

I can't believe it's been 39 years now that we lost the fastest of all time.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

He was absolutely fucking brilliant to watch.
