    Anybody dislike the production today even if the race has a great end? It felt like it took so long to see replays of any significant incidents/moves, if we saw them at all.

    Plus, it was great to watch the four racing at the end for so long, but why take away the time splits? They just showed like lap times between two drivers at a time for all of it.

    Wow, just saw the Perez move on Albon in the post-race discussion. Just dive-bombed him. Very clumsy. Hope he gets a penalty for that one.

      That’s an interesting take, would have been great. But reality is it is very hard to overtake on that track unless you have at least 10kph speed difference and the person ahead has difficult drive. Lando is a good driver and has kept Lewis at bay previously.

        2 things. Russell almost got by Lando and Lewis has much more experience than russell. The combination of these things leads me to believe that Lewis would have gotten past Lando. Once Lando would have been cleared, Sainz would have been a sitting duck.

    Hands down best race of the season. And all it took was for RedBull to not be around.

        It sucks for LEC but it totally helped SAI. When the SC came out LEC dropped back by more than 5 seconds so that nobody even entered the pit lane before SAI was serviced. That led to everyone being lined up right behind LEC.

        It was self inflicted but for the greater good.

      This is my favorite race of the season so far.

      I think you mean race end. The first 45 laps were exceptionally dull

          It was tense yes. But it was tense because everybody was waiting for others to make a move or a mistake(nobody was proactively trying to do anything). By that logic Monaco every year is similarly tense because people are often running nose to tail and hence Monaco should also be considered as good races.

      Probably clipped the inside wall which broke the suspension. There’s a bit of a bump right before the corner. (at least in the F1 game, presumably it’s there in real life too)
