True. Just shows that when you leave it late and your lap gets deleted you are stuffed. Max also had his time deleted and if there was another flag he could have forgotten his position.

Somehow I’ve got more faith in that Piastry will end in the points. He is super impressive.

Oscar will be in the points. If you give him the 1.0 for his off at Turn 12 that he claims, he's right there with Lando.

It is possible, consistency will be key. And dare I say it, track limits will feature here as well.

It is a pain, stupid me booked my ferry crossing wrongly and my daughter and I are on the ferry right when the race is on...I hope the satellite internet feed will work well as I'll try and watch it on my laptop using F1TV.

I just want to never live through another round of idiots discussing apex corners and overtakes at COTA.. The Stewards are Lords on High, they rule with an iron steampunk keyboard.. What was it Brundle said, of the 18 or so, 17 failed, or some stupid stat like 99% waste of time..

Hopefully it works out for you two. I have another NFL conflict. Two Sundays in a row. I’ll have to see where the excitement is.😉

Martin has been different this season. I used to mute him. Not any longer though.

It is waffle for the sake of waffle, it has no value, like discussing the flavour of rice cakes, no one on the rock cares, and that is the point, Sky spend money they don't have on crap no one wants.. The broadcast is stupidily too long, it is like a kid that got a brand new toy that only makes a racket and it comes with a solar charge set up.. Someone at Sky found a long lost LiveU and a manual and now wants to use it until the budget runs out...

They waffle on and on, and make sense to only 3 people.. Colipinto had the right idea, then Brundle goes and makes him feel like a right bellend on tv.. Sky is out of control..

You make good points. Franco most likely had no choice in the interview. I still find Martin less rambling than in the past.

Nothing get's in the way of a dedicated F1 fan, not even a miss timed ferry ride. I hope your daughter is not one who goes 'hey dad, look at this', 'hey dad, did you see that', 'hey dad what do you think of this'. Is she the kind of child who has learnt not to come between a parent and their Formula 1? :)

Oh yes. She loves F1. Roots for Lando Norris, whilst wearing Red Bull merch 🤣

Norris get's 2nd with Max being 6th. With only 2 races left, Max is going to be champion again because the ONLY way Norris can win the championship is if he finishes 1st in the last two races and Max DNF's
 
Max showing his 2021 tactics again for the second race in a row, forcing Lando off the circuit twice in 3 corners, what a plonker. At least the stewards gave the penalty to the right driver this week. Nice win by Sainz and a good drive by Lando to split the Ferrari’s, I do think this circuit is dull though I have to say.

Congratulations To Carlos and Ferrari. Impressive weekend all around for him. Snooze of a race though. The only highlights were Max's .20 sec penalties.

On to Interlagos.

Lando is going to have to give his best performances the next few races and hope max is p6-p7 to maybe give him a fight for the championship

Good race and well worth staying up for.
Good to see the quite frankly dangerous driving by Max penalised.
But as I’ve said for a while he’ll still win the drivers championship.

The team championship though is wide open! I expect McLaren to win. But can see RBR finishing 3rd at this rate.

The FIA is now enforcing its rules on Max? He probably wasn’t even mad because he knew he has been “blessed” by the FIA for far too long.

Max is the dirtiest driver in F1 history really.

Max deserved the penalties, he was in the wrong in this race, most definitely. I do feel that 2x 10 seconds was overly harsh, but if those are the rules, then so be it. As Max said, “impressive”.

What is also very impressive is that despite those 20 second penalties, he ended in sixth place.

Anyway, awesome race by Carlos Sainz. Please, Red Bull, get rid of Pérez and put Sainz in that seat…

Exactly, F1 needs a great villain, without it, it is just a boring soap opera.. We all love to hate a great villain.. Joker to batman, Max is playing his role in a great way.. Love him, he makes it "fun"!!
