The window for inters was such that you change or commit to being out. Worst thing to do was what they did. Best was change the moment heavy rain arrived (Perez)

Oscar flat spotted just before he pitted. It was just unlucky with safety car.

Lando has to be more brave if he wants to pass Tsunoda. He must dive.

Lando loosing 3/4 tenths in the slow corners at 10/11/12 making it impossible to pass Tsunoda

Did I mentioned that I hate this Red Bull B-Team? Here they defend like crazy but if it was the Red Bull works team they would have let them without a fight.

What a shame in pit strategy. It reminded me of Sochi 2021.
I really don't think Sochi was a big mistake. It was a coin toss where Hamilton had an easy choice to do by being second. He would stay second no matter what.

I know. But usually Torro Rosso is defending like crazy anyone who isn't a Red Bull.

Some of you might sound butthurt but that doesnt make it less true. It happened many times in the past with that team. And cut the personal attacks. I'm not insulting you.

Has it? Red Bull are clearly the number one team and are in another league to AlphaTauri therefore are not racing them.

Equally Tsunoda was racing Lando, what do you expect him to do? Move out of the way because Darth-Piekus says so?
