looked similar to Colapinto., didn't it
This aspect is not safe imo.
yeah, but I wouldn't think it was normal clipping? More like the software confusing things
If they clip at 250kW or LICO at 350kw then it looked pretty normal. It's a brake check mode.

Oscar so unlucky there looks like Kimi gonna get a gifted win thanks to the SC
Stupid strategy by McLaren. Oscar said if they keep track position they can win and immidiately they glave position.
He did keep position... Antonelli jumped him because of the SC. They did everything right.
No because they weren't under threat, while giving Mercedes a chance to be lucky.

or not. It's a little bit cheesy. Lando did nothing wrong and loses the place on the next straight.

Williams is doing some testing in the race, with pit stops to adjust the front wing every other lap

Big congrats to Kimi, lucky with the SC but he was the fastest today.

Russell was schooled by Leclerc in an embarrassing way.

Great to see Oscar on the podium.

What happened to Bottas? The gap to Perez looks embarrassing. Any excuse?

Lo, the true tale at Mercedes is no longer of one driver alone, but of a court divided betwixt youth and rule. For Prince Antonelli doth rise with the boldness of one born to seize a crown, while King George, once so sure of his dominion, now findeth his throne less secure with every passing lap. The feud betwixt Prince and King is the very heart of the matter: the young challenger presseth ever forward, and the elder must answer not only with speed, but with authority, lest his reign be called into question.

Yet the tale groweth sharper still, for Leclerc, though no sovereign, hath also cast his shadow upon the king’s pride, and so George is made to look less like a ruler and more like a man beset on all sides. Thus must he go, wounded and watchful, to seek once more the favour of the raw Imperator Toto Wolff, whose judgment in this court is as stern as it is final. And so the house of Mercedes standeth in uneasy balance: the Prince ascendeth, the King defendeth, Leclerc meddleth, and the Imperator waiteth to decide whose name shall be spoken with reverence.
