That's a 10/10 from Piastri. Not far off from Leclerc either.

Max getting chinned by Lando too. Brilliant.

Superb from Piastri.

Charles pushed him to the limit and of course lolz at Red Bull.

Max losing out to Norris today shows how far back they have fallen. Double lolz that they pitted Max for a fast lap attempt just seconds before Sainz and Perez had a meeting.

Dreadful race. Mercedes managing to throw away good scoring positions by screwing over Lewis with a bonkers strategy. Nearly affected George as well by holding him up and putting him in Leclercs reach. Probably couldn’t have held off Piastri anyway.

Need to start throwing Maldonado into the mix or put the sprinklers on in these races.

It's always been a dreary circuit. No safety car either which makes things worse.

 

[Kenny]

Was there 5 years ago...it's an ace place to watch a race but without a safety car it can be dull.

Really needed one today

 

[Squeak]

One of the worst races on the circuit next to Monaco.
Fans pay a small fortune to watch racing... and they see a procession.
Mercedes gone off the boil, Ferrari gone to sleep and fortunately McLaren are giving Red Bull a hiding.
Only positive, Riccardo disappearing into retirement with a fastest lap.
Wake me up in time for the next one. Or rather, don't.

 

[Kenny]

Fastest Lap bonus point being dropped next year.

Red Bull agree with the FIA to remove a bit of kit that raises the floor height between practice, quali, and the race. Apparently, it is inaccessible during parc ferme conditions so they weren't breaking rules.

Yeah. Jimmy fucking Hill
