Oh god. Hopefully Norris will comply with the team orders.

I'm always surprised when drivers see red like that - you are not going to win the championship this year. It's a great result for the team.

I very much doubt NOR is going to hold station. I wouldn’t either as long as I keep it on track.
I think people forget what this sport is about. Let’s race

Need to swap positions now and have a go at Verstappen.

Nah - Piastri has the pace as well. When Norris started pushing Piastri responded. Their pace is similar now.

Impossible..

Eh?

Personally I am someone who prefers clear racing but why risk a crash now that we are on 2-3?

[FittingMechanics]

Verstappen is heavily managing. He is 1 second slower than McLaren - he may go get softs.

Holy mother of bells, Crofty is insane at times with his commentary

[Slahinki]

Could have had a chance there with the slow stop if they'd swapped positions. But oh well. Should have qualified better, I suppose.

What did he say? I listen to F1TV.

I just can not believe they called team orders. They should have gone like hell on that hard tyre

Thinking that RUS could close 17s in 5 laps. I mean, there is reaching and there is reaching!!

[Darth-Piekus]

Bravo to the team for this great 2-3. Yes we can't beat Red Bull yet but that is gonna change if the team keeps outdeveloping them that quickly. We were way closer than ever before and the difference is not that big as people think.

[101FlyingDutchman]

Honestly. That race pace was something to behold. May not quite be VER pace but that was as close as anyone has been to RB19
