They suck so thank goodness then that MAX didn't podium

[M5Rick]

Braking with MAX behind on the rolling start on a wet track with over 59psi pedal force, the evidence against Piastri is damning.
MAX being targeted now from not just one driver.

Absolutely a great race from Hulk..Everyone was cheering him in the stand even though Lewis was behind him and there were ALOT of Lewis fans where I was..Hulk is driver of the day in my opinion..He was tailgated by Lewis for so long especially on the start finish straight but kept his composure so I tip my hat off to Hulk

This is it with the ticket paying public, unless you're a VIP or special team guest that gets helicoptered into the exclusive private areas with food and refreshments laid on it can be an exhausting day.

To summarize...probably four seasons in one day

And the worst thing is it's Monday and back to the grind while these drivers after their appearance duties for their sponsors jet off to some tropical beaches sipping Pimms all day

Incredibly happy for Hulk but I agree; a trophy made of Legos in F1 is unfortunate and symbolic of where F1 is today. My spidey-sense tells me this came from Liberty Media, not the FIA.

When they did it I was like "Oh NO"....Charlie isn't exactly known for his prowess in the wet

It was Charlie . Charlie gambled and lost , later in the race he was screwed by Ferrari.
MAX gambled with his extreme low downforce setup , pulled the pole with that but lost it in the rain race .

Nico didn't seem to care.

More about the deliberate incident from Piastri and MAX ..

Piastri braked at the straight on between turns 14 and 15 and that was under the green flag when the SC pulled back in.

Some details from Piastri's telemetry data :
Piastri braked on the straight from 218 km/h to 52 km/h without a valid reason just to trap MAX (!)
Piastri's brake brake pressure was 59.2 PSI (!)
MAX had to avoid a collision in the spray and in a very poor visibility and lost it (!)

Piastri's 10 sec. penalty was very cheap . Considering the deliberate danger he caused in the heavy rain .
Piastri should have been black flagged (!)

What Piastri did was incredibly dangerous given the conditions and fully worth the penalty, but I don't think Piastri did it intentionally to spite Max in any way. I think he'd have done it regardless of who was behind. Up to that point he had run with nobody in front of him, I really don't think he was thinking about spray and lack of visibility suffered by those behind him. I think he got caught out by the safety car coming in and just wanted to get one last hit of brake/tire temp before getting back on the gas.

This. A lot of people trying to turn this incident into something more than in it should - Oscar and team radio already mentioned that it was just bad timing with the notice of the safety car coming in. Max wasn’t even behind him and was already parallel to Oscar, if anything Lando would’ve rear-ended him so highly doubt anything here was done intentionally especially with it being high risk that if he got rear ended, his race could have ended as well.

For his bad timing PIA also earned himself a couple penalty points also bringing his total to six, of course he would have done the same if his teammate was behind him. ''Give me back my position'' he said with bated breath... jog on Oscar

Aston Martin and Mercedes delivered champagne to the Sauber garage after the race when they found out Sauber didn't have a single bottle of champagne in their inventory

also helps their own inventory as the champagne on the Aston Martin shelves are probably about to go stale unfortunately

Ja well that's just fantastic! champers must be drunk young, they sure haven't had any since 1066 and Audi must be getting hyped up with this like Big Time heheh

[G30M]

Nico has never been on the podium and the team forgot to tell him he needed to bring his helmet to the podium room, so Lando brought it in for him

Piastri knew very well that he sput huge amounts of water with his Papaya spray machine.
We know Piastri as the cool and nice guy , but he just knows all the dirty tricks as well to put the driver behind him in deep 5H1T.
And that was exactly what he did . Intentionally..

No excuses , that's why he got his 10 sec. penalty (!)
