Zak Brown blaming Hulk on Sky, but looked to me like Piastri turned right into him.

Edit: Stewards deemed it a racing incident.

Bloody hell. Max is all over the place.
The McLarens would have decimated him
Just a fan's point of view

Piastri’s move was pretty reckless IMO

This is why I disagree with the guys focusing on each other to the detriment of the team. They should focus on beating Max as a team.

The move was a racing incident but so was Lando in Singapore and we've seen novels written about it.

Sucks. They lose running as well.

Tough job getting the car ready for quali.

Piastri did nothing wrong there. Hulkenberg and Alonso punted on him. It's a pity as he DNFed by something out of his control. Piastri has to take into consideration Max, the two Racing Bulls, Norris, his own team and now midfield drivers also who don't know how to avoid. I couldn't ask for a better fixed result.

Piastri should have been aware he has Hulk on his left shoulder. Without his aggressive cutback it is a clean start.

Hulk should have been aware he could not make that turn. He wasn't even half a car and he is supposed to be an experienced driver. The same goes for Alonso.

Mate, Oscar turned into Hulk. He made a bad decision. And it had consequences.

Oscar should have known better than to try an undercut at turn 1 around here, it's guaranteed contact on a race start. Silly stuff.

Piastri was at fault, he turned into a space occupied by 2 cars. He should have just carried the wider line instead of trying to setup an undercut on norris.

I disagree. Oscar did not turn into Hulk as Hulk had space to move. Alonso punted Hulk who punted into Oscar.

Lando took a very wide approach to the first turn after a poor start, as Piastri had a better start. Piastri had to cut to the inside, otherwise he would have lost many more places. If Lando would have take a sharper turn and not trying to force Piastri out, they both would have made it. Stupid moves on both sides. Racing incident.
