A Williams crashing behind the safety car. Classic.
But I feel bad for them, such an expensive weekend for Williams and no prize whatsoever.
Disastrous weekend for Williams.
Alpine has the opportunity to earn lots of points and overtake Williams for 8th in the constructor's championship.
Edit: They could get 6th in WCC if they maintain 1st and 3rd. Wow.
Max is out there giving a masterclass on wet weather racing, and Perez is stuck behind Lawson.
Checo, just retire mate.
Just putting in fastest lap after fastest lap. In the words of RPM: Max fucks off into the distance.
I almost preferred being a McLaren fan when they werenβt winning races. Too much disappointment when they have the potential to win titles.
I've been rooting for them all season just because I wanted a break from last year's Verstappen dominance, but you can't look at the performance of the team this year and say they properly deserve to win the title.
Max drove past the car column at the start like in a F1 game lol
17 to 1st, even under the conditions is amazing. What a race by Verstappen.
It's Landover
Lmao, never change Stroll.
Locked the wheel and spun. Ok, it can happen. Beached himself? Come on!
Holy fuck he beached it
Quite impressive, actually.
Alonso sounded like he was in real pain.
He really did..
So we are guaranteed post race controversy because of the aborted start infringement
Norris about to add re-starts to his miserable record on race starts?
He has been giving away position on every (re)start in this GP
Absolute masterclass from max and red bull. Hamilton 2021 esque.
Clearly proving that he is the best driver of the season even though he no longer has the fastest car
It's a shame we won't be able to maintain the title fight delusion anymore for the rest of the season, but this was a cold shower for McLaren - both literally and figuratively. Neither the race strategists nor drivers are of a high enough calibre, and it's really a shame since the mechanics, designers and factory workers have been amazing. Trying to root for them this season has been so damn frustrating it's starting to make me feel hostile emotions about them.
Well the mechanics, designers, engineers and factory personnel will be rewarded with the constructors championship. The pitwall and the drivers will rightly not be rewarded with a drivers championship.
Another lead for Norris lost in lap 1 :(
Verstappen already up to 10th and out for blood.
Perez all the way up to 18th too, just one spot behind Sainz who started from the pit lane
"terrible luck for Stroll.."
Well, it's not all due to a lack of luck, is it..
Right, my first reaction to that was "I don't see how luck has anything to do with this..."
Imagine being An Aston Martin mechanic working your ass off to repair the car in no time just to see the driver bin it in the formation lap.
Could be a heavy punishment for Lando. With stewards on track there was a potential danger which should result in penalty.
What a day. What a drive by Verstappen.
Alpine leapfrogging to P6 in the WCC. Incredible.
Black flag??
Nico Hulkenberg has been disqualified from the race for receiving assistance to rejoin

How is this inters conditions?! Scenes!
Verstappen feeling 17 again
Looking like this could be Max's greatest race, he seems on another level. The first lap alone was incredible.
What is going on omg. One of the most chaotic weekends I've ever seen.
Why call a safety car if they are still on inters, if it's too wet, put the damn wet tires on!
Verstappen is an unstoppable machine...
Happy for ocon and gasly as well!
McLaren couldnt do it, not sure if the situation would be different without the pitstop tho. Many other mistakes as well, and max just faster overall.
This is the most action packed boredom I've ever experienced. What an insane weekend so far.
Why the hell would Lance try to drive through the gravel/sand on his way back onto the track? Stupid
What a day for Alpine, double podium and now 6th in the constructors
Lol Checo and Lewis fucked up their grid positions and confused Colapinto?
And the drivers in front did an extra formation lap when they were not supposed to?
CHAOS
Red flag!. What a race!
69 lap race.. I guess teams complained they'd start running out of fuel. It is, of course, also a good number.
Norris off the track and loses track position.
The racing gods taking away all of the blessings they gave McLaren during quali and giving it to Verstappen now.
That's pretty much a guaranteed win by Max now I assume and the official end of the title race?
What in the fucking hell is going on
This should be a great race. Shame about Albon, but I'm still pretty jacked.
This will be the happiest podium in a long time
