Besides the obvious, great race by Yuki and Haas. They were not given much of a chance by the majority F1 fans to start the season and they have performed very well.

That's true! An excellent P8 result for Tsunoda and RB team. =D>

Forza Ferrari and Vamos Carlos =D> :D

Poor car preparation by Red Bull - Honda on the #1 car and Perez's #11 "slow" with no pace.

Alonso and Russell summoned to stewards. Apparently, Alonso might have brake-tested Russell before the accident. I can't access the replay with telemetry yet on Multiviewer, so sadly can't confirm at this moment.

Karun shows it on the sky pad he definitely lifted off way before than the previous lap

Tsunoda has become such a stable driver. No mistakes at all all weekend. and come home with points even.

If Ferrari used team orders and swap drivers Leclerc would be leading the championship. :shock:

Tired of Alonso and his constant cheating hope they ban him for rest of life.

this is video with telemetry of alo. He taps the brakes 2 times before the corner. IMHO DSQ worthy.

Karun must be livid, his crush George crashes out and Yuki bags 8th to further prove the likes of him and Eddie Jordan wrong.

If Ferrari had used team orders, Sainz would have told them to go f*** themselves (sorry for language, but he really would).

He's been driving like a champ this weekend. This was a weekend where P1 was earned, not given.

Not if you ask me.

Russell was miles behind when Alonso braked the first time. He had time himself to brake. Alonso braking more than necessary doesn't automatically make him responsible for a crash because Russell is overeager. Russell has a responsibility to account for dirty air going through a corner.

There was never an overtaking opportunity in that corner to begin with. This does not rise to the standard of a brake check IMO. This is Russell being way too optimistic trying to overtake on the last lap again and just being overeager to be right up Alonsos tailpipe. Russell had plenty of time to brake when Alonso braked the first time, but opted to go into the corner at high speed, hoping to get a run on him.

The telemetry looks very strange. ALO was up to something but will be able to explain it away

Russell is a British pre 2020 Max Verstappen. He runs his mid machinery on the edge all day. And crashes. Nothing wrong with that.

Seriously? Random braking on a straight to spook the driver behind you is fine because that corner isn't an overtaking spot. Interesting take
