    Yeah.
    Great racing now from the top 8.
    Gotta be careful with any adjustments you make now, easily make your car slower.
    Tyre management critical.
    Thought all the cars were pitting for tyres to early.
    Hamilton said his tyres were still ok both times he pitted.
    Russell's one stop strategy was an obvious move to me.
    Not sure the weight issue would have made any dif in the actual race, DQ was fair tho.
    Weight is black and white.
    Although...they did weigh him twice (smack on first time)...must of made the officials suspicious...
    Mercedes engineers probably knew they were going to be in trouble while the race was still on.
    Left 2.8 litres of fuel in the tank!

    Possibly made it that little bit easier to fend off Hamilton at the end and also keep some life in his tyres with only one stop?

          Perez is lucky he's such a financial power, because he's certainly not doing his talking on the track right now

              If he keeps his form up it could make the race for the constructors Championship interesting

                  He's a bloody lucky boy to still have a seat. It actually makes a mockery of the perception that F1 is the pinnacle of the sport when guys like Perez and Stroll get to drive

                    @canefan Stroll hasn't been doing that much worse than Alonso lately. There are worse drivers for you to bitch about.

                    I'm intrigued to see how shit that Williams actually is next year now, whether Sargent was on a hiding to nothing and Albon is as good a driver as the pundits suggest.

                    Brundle suggesting there will be 5 antipodeans driving next year.

                      Boring race yesterday. Terrible start by Norris but ended up winning by roughly 20 seconds. If he knew how to start he would win most races. I’m yet to see him make a competent start.

                        @Billy-Tell it was strange eh, he just kept putting time on Max, but no one behind max was making a dent on him until he realised he was safe.

                        Piastra flying up on le Clerc then just settling in behind him wasn't flash from him.

                          It's a boring track but McLaren's progress under these current regs is astonishing. Their car was originally back of the grid terrible and in the space of a few seasons it's now clearly the fastest car on the track. With two very capable drivers I can see McLaren winning the constructer's championship.

                            What is the gap right now? RB must be worried as it's basically one car vs two

                                  Should have been dropped awhile ago.
                                  But replaced by Franco Colapinto, currently 6th in F2, personally not expecting great things.

                                    It's funny he gets canned finally when he's actually not come in last the last 6 races. Even almost broke the top ten in GB!

                                        I think he can thank Liberty Media and Dorilton Capital. They'd want an American driver and unfortunately they chose this donkey:

                                        https://twitter.com/F1/status/1827296075700392279

                                        Wheels on wet grass, plants the accelerator unleashing 1000 hp and predictably bins it. In the end even his countrymen got sick of the cost of him.
