    Oh my god that was dangerous from Ocon, Gasly is absolutely right to be pissed.

    Ocon literally did what he did to Perez back at Force India - overtake stupidly and leave no room for his teammate.

    I am fairly sure this is the worst race I have ever seen. Might as well have called it 80 formation laps. Jesus.

      I think I counted like 5 overtakes that did not involve a crashed car. Ridiculous really. Last week at least there was some hope that one could pull a move. No such hope here

          Have they?? I can’t remember any year with 0. Till lap 50, I was thinking that we may have zero today.

              Oh yeah. I completely forgot about that. I guess that the strategic battle between overcutting and undercutting kept me engrossed enough. Also helped by the fact that verstappen was not driving nearly as slowly as people today.

    Leclerc says he’ll bring the car home, proceeds to drive directly to his apartment parking garage.

      Going by past evidence, it is more likely that he will go to a yacht with people who are not his family \s

    Wow crazy management going on. This seems that it could be pretty dull.

      As is tradition! This race needs to go, I get the tradition behind the race, but the cars are just too damn fast and large for this track anymore.

      I wonder who’ll take the Overtake award if there are no overtakes. The safety car?

    “Of the four of you, you are the best” - now there’s some motivation for you, Piastri.
