Ricciardo looking really sad all the way down the list.

What happened? I don’t have a stream and only moving dots

It was a repeat of Abu dahbi.
Lewis behind the safety car, stays out on a harder compound, Max pits in for softs and rockets past on restart.

 

[Demon Drone]

Max has pretty much has this WDC gift wrapped for him this season. This season has been one giant let down.

Goatifi is keeping him company.

What happened? I don’t have a stream and only moving dots

Tried to drop Max accelerating into the final (banked) turn, Max went with him and was practically alongside at the finish line. Max on fresh softs as well as everyone else bar Perez, so Lewis was basically a sitting duck...

 

[pumaATTACK]

Did Lewis have a shot on softs? Probably not.

Only real chance was using two Mercs to block Max.

 

[Dennisch]

While I don't mind Max winning a lot this season, the racing is being ruined by strategy a lot.

 

[Jubby]

You'll never get proof anyway unless it comes from within.

And your speculation would be flawed as Ferrari don't own Sauber nor employ Bottas.

That's my point, though. Any speculation is just silly. It'll never be proven either way.

 

[McLaren]

Perez has been told he’s finishing 5th right? Don’t see the need to push on Sainz, just sit behind him.

 

[Grayfox]

Did Lewis have a shot on softs? Probably not.

Lewis being 2nd but on softs would have been better over all than being on an older harder tire.

 

[Jimlaad43]

It is far too easy to force an opponent off at T1 on the exit. It was bad last year and bad again this year. With only one passing point, that bit either needs to be made smoother, or pushing drivers off needs to be punished. Racing doesn't last longer than a corner and it sucks.

While I don't mind Max winning a lot this season, the racing is being ruined by strategy a lot.

Strategy has been ruining the racing for over +10 years now with these garbage tyres.

Checo helping Carlos keeping a couple of spots.

Security did a good job keeping the flares away from the track.

 

[Blitz24]

Alright, more fans need to be banned for this.

No crowd at the track next year!

Alright, more fans need to be banned for this.

At least it's fewer flares than yesterday and last year. Now get rid of the rest (and go after the sellers, since afaik they're illegal anyway)

 

[pumaATTACK]

Wonder what Lewis would choose between either softs for both Mercs and 2nd/3rd or both Mercs remain out and stay 1/2.

But it sounds like he wasn’t involved in the call and got the worse half.

 

[NICKname]

Verstappen has won 2/3 of the races so far, if he keeps that up for the final 7 races he'll have the world record for most wins in a single season.

 

[Dreadmed]

A bit of an anti-climax within an anti-climax really; best case for the neutral would've been seeing Max having to pass both Mercs for the win. Pretty sure he would've done it, seeing how easy (relatively speaking) it was for him to pass George the first time around. That got taken away with the VSC, then there was the shenanigans with Lewis losing George as a rear-gunner after the Bottas SC (and his/George's only realistic shot at the win) culminating in Lewis' defence to the finish lasting all of 5 metres...

Turned off the stream, flares getting yeeted onto the track again?

Not thrown on track, just getting lit in the stands

 

[Samus]

After the VSC/SC Mercedes weren't going to win whatever they did. If they both pitted they wouldn't have been able to pass VER. If they both stayed out and kept track position VER would have had plenty of time to pass both.

The only way they could have won is the original strategy, with no VSC/SC. Even then I feel like they would have struggled to keep him behind.

Max and George in parc ferme after the race...

Damn, I forgot this was on. What did/didn't I miss?

Sadly your pre-race pick of Mick Schumacher winning didn't pan out.

 

[Famine]

Sadly your pre-race pick of Mick Schumacher winning didn't pan out.

Oh no, my hopes and dreams.

 

[MSZ]

Russell actually has a very good chance to finish 2nd in championship standings. That's very impressive given how slow his car has been compared to RB and Ferrari.

The F1 YouTube channel will go live in 5min. Hopefully they will show the highlights

Strategy ruining the racing again, and Max having some luck and massive speed.
