Damn Russell got totally fucked. Also impressive by Danny ric
Yeah, but in all fairness you have to say that he left more space to the car in front than many others. No wonder other drivers jumped him.
He left himself vulnerable and he knows it. Not his team’s fault that he didn’t take his moment.
I don't know man. I think this will lead to some fireworks between the drivers
And nothing will be changed. The gentlemen's agreement regarding setup position in qualifying is a joke since many years. Nearly everyone is fuming about the others but isn't acting good on the other side. It's what you get in this competitive egocentric sports format.
I agree. Can't expect the drivers to do the 'right' thing.
Wouldn't mind some actual drama and rivalries instead of whatever Netflix manages to fabricate. Since Abu Dhabi 2021 everybody has been super okelidokeli friendly with one another. And while I do also like seeing that, it doesn't exactly get the heart pumping during the race. At least Ocon is still a proper cunt, otherwise you could start calling this Barbiela 1.
I'd take some fireworks between the two, it might be exciting. With first place seemingly sewn up I'll take my excitement where I can get it.
Yeah, let's hope Ricciardo keeps on improving once he gets to know the car more!
I don't think anyone broke the rules of this race given the lack of specific investigations against drivers, but I heard on the commentary that there was going to be a general investigation?
In the past we've had minimum sector times at the end of the lap, which in this case world have presumably forced Russell out to start his final lap a little sooner.
