Red flag. Wow, what a brilliant strategy move by Red Bull. Insane.
to be fair they lucked out big time. they gabled on red flag due to heavy rain and they got it only because of Colapinto. Had he not crashed it would turn out to be a very big and costly mistake because would've been eaten out on these completely dead tires.

Another year of a Williams driver helping Red Bull win the championship.

For those that can’t tell that was said tongue in cheek. Got extremely lucky with that crash.

Masi told him to crash, both of them.

That worked nicely but it was a gamble. Fair play from the strategists
Big gamble. I'm surprised they gamble so much when being conservative probably gets them WDC.

But it worked out.

Lucky with the red flag. I think if couldn’t get the tyres to the end on 1 set it would have been uncanny.

But what a drive by max so far. The true GOAT in the wet.

Beats Lewis’ 2021 resurgence in my books this one
Mess with the Bull - you get the horns.

race direction managed the conditions perfectly though. It would suck if they red flagged it because of rain, because clearly teams adopted this questionable strategy to stay out even on dead tires, anticipating the call of RD to red flag . They actually have to do something with that.

They gambled, and won, yeah, but I don't think they were extremely lucky, it might have been red flagged due to standing water even if Colapinto didn't crash.

no, I don't think so. they past the worst condition already. and also the forecast was always short period of heavy rain. If race director wanted to red flag it because of the water, he would've done it earlier.

Agreed, I think without the crash the race would have resumed

Verstappen is showing why he will be WDC this year. Congrats from a McLaren fan.
