Whoa, that trophy's legit. 😮

edit: Looks cloudy. Max mentioned light drizzle?

moar edit: Great start by Alonso.

even moar edit: And Max walking away. 😑

yet even moar edit: Go Landoooooooo! P3.

and yet even moar edit: Weird Alpine pit SNAFU with Gasly.

another edit: Boo, Bottas out, and finally a VSC.

 

[Grayfox]

Whoa, that trophy's legit. 😮

Max best hide it from Lando.

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Now an SC. Sauber stuck in gear? Maybe just give it a... kick?

 

[Grayfox]

Odd that the N button is not working.

 

[Grayfox]

Stroll in pits?

Stroll rear ended danny boi.
Then blames him.

 

[1241Penguin]

Stroll rear ending Ricciardo was the funniest thing I've seen in a while

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Jesus, Stroll... 😤

edit: Hope Lando gets another good jump on Charles after this SC.

 

[Grayfox]

Stroll rear ending Ricciardo was the funniest thing I've seen in a while

He Break checked him.
When will daddy stroll wake up and kick him out>
Heck an F2 junior will be better that this point.

 

[Sum1s2pid]

That's what Ricciardo gets for using his brakes instead of just... strolling through the car in front of him.

 

[Grayfox]

One thing is clear, No one can out Forza Stroll.

 

[Sum1s2pid]

That sucks. Ricciardo was finally having a decent day, and now he's getting swallowed up. 😔

edit: And now retired. 😤

 

[Grayfox]

Penalty: 10S for Riccardo according to the GT7 Penalty System






Under a proper Penalty System: Stroll gets a +10s

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Ha, "No, thank you." Go Landooooooo!

edit: Ah, so that's why Piastri dropped off the back of Russell. Thanks, Lance! /shakesfist

 

[Rossell2]

Lance Stroll = Lance D'oh!

Edit: kinda hoping for a mechanical failure for Max so Lando can win as tight as that sounds.

Edit 2: Checo will probably get him anyway though, meh.

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Oh dang, thought Alonso lost it. 😮

edit: The POV of his reaction time was insane.

 

[Fezzik]

bloody hell Nando

 

[Grayfox]

AM: You have a 10 second penalty
Stroll: Its a bloody joke
World: No, you are the joke.

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Ruh oh... Lando gonna be next to Max when they present that awesome trophy. 😬

 

[Grayfox]

Ruh oh... Lando gonna be next to Max when they present that awesome trophy. 😬

Lando will be like

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Thought it'd be more exciting, what with the SCs.

Another nice points haul for McLaren. Lando! Almost washes the taste of that sprint race out the mouth. Oscar did very well to hold on to P8, despited damage.

I expected more of a scrap between the Ferraris.

Shame Alonso didn't finish higher up, but that countersteer moment was awesome.

Haas point! Thanks, Hulk!

Bummed for Ricciardo. Solid day ruined.

Stroll is a donut. Or a muppet. A donuppet.

 

[Grayfox]

He didn't break it

 

[TumeK5]

Good race from Stroll. Really #%&@ing good.

Now that we're done with the sarcasm, Norris drove actually well.

 

[Dennisch]

They should turn off Hamilton's mic. He has gone full Alonso with the GP2 engine. Stroll needs to go and the man for the VSC/SC decision should be thrown into the Yellow Yangtze river.

In other news. Not a bad race. Absolute dominance by Max, good racing for the rest of the field.

 

[ScottPuss20]

Aston Martin stuffed the strategy for Alonso.

 

[HenrySwanson]

Didn't turn out that bad to be fair.

 

[Veinz]

I really enjoy Rosberg shutting down Croft's dumb comments.

 

[Alfred1]

Props to Zhou who might not have a great result, but the opportunity to race at home was amazing.

 

[Liquid]

Aston Martin stuffed the strategy for Alonso.

Having only watched the highlights, what was the supposed logic behind pitting for softs he'd definitely have to change again?

 

[ZoomingZoomer]

Having only watched the highlights, what was the supposed logic behind pitting for softs he'd definitely have to change again?

The way I interpreted the choice for softs is that the Aston strategy team was banking on the idea that a 30 lap stint on the hards to the chequered flag was unfeasible or not optimal, and that everyone who pit under the safety car would eventually become easy pickings by the end of the race for Fernando on fresher mediums or be forced to stop. The choice for fresh softs specifically at the safety car restart was to help Alonso carve his way through the field.

Edit: Fernando apparently had no fresh set of hards

 

[Dennisch]

Max' reaction to Stroll's not his fault crash into Daniel.
