Got to love max on the radio. .5 sec and worrying about tyres getting too cold between a 47.0 and 47.5. Great racecraft.

Duct tape and WD40, all the engineering needs covered

[F1doc]

Appalling decision for AT to do that. The chance of points must be gone with that. Why risk an accident under the cost cap?

If it moves and its not meant to...tape it up.

If its stuck and meant to move....give it a spray

and it seems that the RB DRS mounting point on the flap is vulnerable to damage from porpoising/vibration

I actually reckon that's almost a cheeky attempt to rub salt into Ferrari's wounds.

I think that call on Max is purely precautionary. I dont think theres issues. They just want to protect the win and the points for Perez.

[michl420]

Is it allowed to share the DRS mechanism between teams?

[jz11]

so McLaren ignored Ricci request to make the swap when he had pace advantage thus screwing his race, and now he has to give the place up?

Both RB lose some dry ice during the formation lap

dry ice isn't fluid
it sublimes (directly from solid to gas)

[Ryar]

It’s not like VER for instance, who’s in the thick of a championship battle, genuinely gunning for pole and gets beaten; tow-adjusted that’s something like 3 tenths to PER. That’s a comp, like contenders LEC v SAI where there’s zero mystery.

Checo was so fast in Race that he ended 20 seconds ahead of Max!

[jz11]

most importantly - THE TAPE HELD!

edit: my vote for the drive of the day goes to the Tape

[Schippke]

Lewis driver of the day?!

Surely that should've gone to Gasly or Max... or George who had a great race too.

[Spoutnik]

Lewis can barely stand up after parking the car
