some may go for a H-H strategy now, I guess. Although probably more likely on the 2nd half of the grid

Albon crash prone. Reminds me of Mick in 2021, huge crashes in a team that can't afford to crash.

What are you on about? It sure wasn't his fault.

He put himself in a terrible position, there was no overtake to be had halfway along the outside there, only risk.

Vultures are definitely circling now. That crash was on him.

Yeah, sure. How dare Albon try to go for a clear passing opportunity? Shame on him for getting squeezed out!

That's not a clear pass opportunity, that's a crash trap. He's always going to get squeezed there when he isn't fully alongside. He's putting himself in bad positions and the team can't afford it. How much money has this guy thrown down the drain in a team that needs every penny?

It's mind boggling to me the downfall he suffered after Red Bull, went from one of the best on the grid to a joke. Such a shame. :(

Think Danny was hyper focused on Stroll as he seemed to have lost a few positions on the start already as he just didn't have the grip to those around him. He more at fault but it's a race start and it's nothing more than a race start incident tbh, but taking the far outside line on that corner is definitely unconventional and only possible in the slower speed of a race start. Just extremely unlucky for those two who just needed to reach the chequered flag more than anyone atm

Tell me more about how Albon is at fault for Ricciardo not looking at his mirrors.
