I don’t really understand the decision (Yuki or Lawson would have been a great choice), other than maybe experience as a driver with this team when Max is leaving. Or money.

Not sure if he will be in F1 next season, maybe Formula E?

The weather gods were also sleeping sadly because rain could have spiced things up a little.

With all this mess at Red Bull (power struggle, Horner’s escapade, Newey leaving, Max probably leaving soonish) i really wonder if Ford still wants to work together with Red Bull.

The footage of Bottas getting out of the car while the race was only yellow flagged looked very ominous.

I agree, also would like to add that the post race thread stays featured on top longer so people that watch the race later can still give opinions of the race here.

Stroll needs a good hard look in the mirror, doubling down on his innocence is just delusional and appalling.

Any news on why this happened?

He received a 3 place grid penalty

It is inevitable

Yeah maybe they had the time but not sure if they had enough battery or the best tire temp for another run. But it would have been worth a try.

No one telling Daniel to back off and try again is pretty sad, not sure if it would have mattered though.

Ferrari looks pretty strong, hope it results in a good qualifying

True the timing is pretty brutal for many, and I don’t think many Australians here.

Appreciate your posts too :)

i guess i wasn’t the only one asleep :)

The long version of “you’re only as good as your last race.”

Not entirely true as the Zandvoort race also got many praises for “setting the bar” for the whole race weekend as a spectacle which is a pretty old track.

But I’d rather see a good race in Spa/Suzuka without a show than a “great show” with a boring race but sadly it seems to go in the more show-direction. However in my opinion this Saudi Arabian track is pretty cool. And when you are at the track itself it is pretty neat to have great things to do or see before or after the race.

Incredible job he did, I mean a mistake is easily made as you could tell by Stroll / Ricciardo but he kept his cool. In the end he seemed to be a tad worried about Norris and Hamilton but he was managed well from the pit wall.
