Is there already some news on the potential penalty of the people that started under de blinking orange? Seems strange it takes so long.

Nothing yet. Imagine itll take some sorting that one.

I can’t even see a summons to the stewards about it on the FIAs website?

Did they listen to me and put in Herbert and Hill as stewards? That would be fun today

For some reason i expected Max to win that. He was showing good pace on Friday and Saturday. It was all about how McLaren would defy Max and RedBull today. they didnt. They got befuddled, lost sightbin the spray and ultimately stunned by Max.

Me too

I knew that rain was exactly what he needed to comeback from P17! I was expecting a win before the race but when I saw him stuck behind Leclerc and the alpines I thought he wouldn’t win it!

The red flag helped that bit but still he had the pace advantage by the end to accomplish it!

Odd, was defo pinged to be investigated after the race during the race

Everyone was happy then to see the Mercedes dragon get slayed.

maybe they were actually watching the season and saw all that happened before that.

Wet races are a great 'leveller' of the 'equipment'.

This is totally not true. While Max had a great drive and we should all recognize that. It's utterly ridiculous to claim that the car plays no role in the wet.

Peak performance gets changed for driveability in those conditions ...

Not even Vettel’s 2012 Brazilian GP luck can come close to this thing…

Here's some advice: Just enjoy watching the best driver ever driving in real time, live, as it happens. In some years you will be able to look back on this and realise how lucky you were to have this blessing.

Which would that be? Leclerc or Alonso?

Insane it's being buried ...
Bet that other ppl would have gotten at least a 10s immediately.

Leclerc. Obviously.

Yep. You always see the same in front, just like the Alpine today.

Tire warm up plays a huge role in the wet beyond driveability. With all the restarts RUS was always extremely quick early on allowing him to defend well. LEC was the only car that wasn't touching wet patches when track started to dry up and took 20 laps to become the 2nd fastest car on track (still 0.3-5s/lap slower than Max anyway).

This is just a couple of items from this race. But if we go all the way back to suzuka 2022 you will still remember the intermediate tires at the end of the race from VER that looked new vs LEC that looked like slicks.

Car balance and tire warm up are incredibly important, then Max takes another step in the wet and he's great there but let's be a bit objective.

So OCO that gave max 10s pre SC is the best in the wet then?

Absolutely true .. tires, traction, driveability. The peak performance of a car isnt the most important thing anymore, as one won't reach it. That's why the Alpine's got to keep track position for instance ...

Professional haters won't understand. A huge bunch is great at being miserable and all. I wouldn't mind that. Salt etc.

I'm no Senna fan but do you people just discard Senna lapping everyone at Donington Park in the rain with the first lap on slicks under pouring rain?
