If Norris 2024 was a penalty this also is a penalty

that Mercedes looks fast. On used Mediums even, while Verstappen started on new ones.
Dumped the battery. Verstappen will win by 5+ seconds easy

well, yeah. The over-under is always a risk in turn 1 at COTA. Piastri should have known.
Well, but again Mango rules. Lando opened the brake to run Pia off. Again over agressive.
not "again" imo. Singapore was the right move.

Today I agree, there was no point in braking late. But Piastri still caused the crash afterwards by turning into Hülkenberg.
Zak said it is Hulks fault. =D> :mrgreen: :wtf:
Don`t russel the hamster!

I'm actually fine with red flagging races only when the track is unusable, and not for a better show. At least they are now more or less consistent with that.

Why didn't Russell get a penalty? and get Lance Stroll out of this sport.

You just know that #33 would have gotten a penalty for it.

Mclaren is cooked, they have no data from the sprint. While other teams will adjust their setup based on their data, Mclaren can't do that.

I'm getting 2007 vibes. It feels more likely now that Verstappen will win the championship with a few points, than not...
The team sabotaged Piastri too much during the year.

Tire update before qualifying (unconfirmed). "d" is for potentially damaged - they all swapped tires after the lap 1 incident.

What’s surprising was the Mercedes pace. Even with 5 lap older tyres. George wasn’t even happy with the setup either.

So things could be really interesting tomorrow.
