      It seemed like Ferrari had started being competent with their strategy. But this race seems to be showing that they’ve still got a few mistakes up their sleeves.

      They shouldn’t have left Leclerc out there.

      At a moment when basically their chances of a podium were gone. Too little too late.

    Norris leading driver of the day for losing a place vs someone who gained 5 spots to win is so weird.

      Abu Dhabi 2021 lurking from around the corner, looking to make a comeback…

      First race back, limited practice time, bad strategy. He’s got a lot to prove, but it’s a bit harsh to judge him on this race.

      I’ve used that twice today with my wife - also an F1 fan. When she asks me something I just go “no talking I’m braking” and she gets super mad.

          Seems like he was really not liking his brakes at the end there, and I can only imagine what it’s like to have a voice pop into your ear while feathering a brake pedal going ~300 kph.

    Norris pitted? Wow.

    Everyone else probably gonna pit as well.

      No running on the hards, I think? At least not enough to know how they’ll hold up. Only one practice session, with focus on qualifying, and only mediums and softs were run in the sprint.

    That was a great race. Big 2021 reminder to me. I know max had issues and a bad quali, but it was exciting to see him have to work for this one

    Close one there towards the end. Two more laps and Hamilton would’ve had it.

    So, how many laps before Max is back on P1?

    My money is on 10. Just to be cautious, he’ll lose a place or 2 at the start, and then he’ll start overtaking about one car per lap.

      It should take at least a pit stop if he can even do it. Both Sainz and Russell should logically put everything in stopping Verstappen from overtaking to maximize the chances of their teammates.

      Edit: well if the other drivers still think they don’t need to race him he will win ofcourse. I don’t get why Sainz wasn’t defending a lot harder though.
