Small damage and they have parts to repair. No problems.

Again that guy with 44 on the car. Lando and Stoll out, Alonso last and the 44 guy is well like nothing happened. I hope karma will strike again.

More time to prepare quali today for our boy Let's gooo!!

I fully support it. And karma caught up with him after the sprint, Ham got a pass in the pitlane, so 8th position is for Yuki.

Agree. Was a pleasure seeing Mercedes struggle to pass a Haas. New Mercedes upgrade is looking that no plus added to a cripple W15.
So Ham got a penalty for speeding in the pit lane, let's see if first turn investigation is bringing some other elements.
After yesterday SprintQuali and today race will be a performance for them to get into Q3.

Regarding the race, Oscar pace was fair and seeing Carlos not able to pass Ricci gives some hopes for tomorrow race. Also struggles from Max to put more than 2 seconds to P2 for almost entire race. So let's hope for a good Quali and so have a Q3 at top.

Can we forget about Hamilton? The stewards have decided he did nothing wrong in that first turn. We just got victimised by Stroll and that is all at the end of the day. Let's focus now on how to get 1-2 or 1-3 in Qualifying and finally get 1 victory tomorrow.

Stroll did nothing wrong. Lando did nothing wrong.

Stroll is a menace by existing in F1. His aura is a moving badluck to all around.

[Slahinki]

Hamilton driving like a rookie and giving a brain dead Senna quote as defence. What a muppet.

[Darth-Piekus]

Can we focus on Mclaren? Checking that video again. Looks like Alonso was the one turning on Stroll as he already hit Stroll before Hamilton even touched him. Hamilton did nothing wrong there.

Fair enough. But I disagree that Norris would have got many places for .1 to .2 seconds more pace than Oscar.

Difference was probably bigger than that. Especially on the long run where Oscar tends to drift away from Lando usually.

I think you are a glass half full today

Hopefully it's a 1-2 in Qualifying and the race tomorrow... If not we will learn some more about how the tyres work with Oscar, Lando and the conditions and how much pace on the straights the car has to get past folks.

Oscar got plenty of Data for the team today, which is good, and will help us understand how better to set the car up for Qualifying.

It's not unreasonable. Lando has been on average 0.3s per lap faster than Oscar come race day. Add some more on top of that because of the upgrade, that easily puts him on Lec/Ver pace today. If not faster. They got screwed over big time by the starting position. Lando should have had pace to fight in the front today. Deg wasn't as bad as I expected.

We just got the upgraded car that was the fastest in the grid and we pretty much threw everything in the dustbin. Mistakes like yesterday must be nullified if the team wants to be champions. I'm still mad from yesterday.

I don't doubt he's faster, but I also don't think it's easy to pass here still, but we've only a day to find out.

Ok, you may now take off the #44 t-shirt
C'mon man, when Stroll is doing a lot of stupid things and we all know he is in F1 due to his father money we say it. But now he had nothing to do or to blaim on Lando's DNF.
Was Hamilton bomb dive on Fernando's right side and that's it.

On our side, although Oscar has only part of the upgrades hope this will help the team to prepare both cars as they did in China between sprint and main race.
What I saw on McLaren team conversation they were positive about data outcome and the message to Oscar was that "the rest of the weekend is looking good".
Also Lando's car will be ready in time for the quali sessions.

It's not a matter if I support a driver or not. Would you like it if I called you Hamilton-hater? I don't like when people are unreasonable. Alonso already was on Stroll turning him around before even Hamilton touched him not to mention he was on the inside. If you want to blame someone blame Alonso.

Hamilton had no hope of making that corner without using Alonso as a brake. That gap he so idiotically put his nose into was always going to disappear when the cars ahead of him turned into T1. He should know this, the man's been in the sport close to 2 decades and is a 7 time champion. It doesn't matter what Alonso or Stroll may have done that could or could not have made an incident, what Hamilton did guaranteed one. Every time we see a driver do what Hamilton did on lap 1 here, it ends in a collision. Amateur driving.

Anyway, looking forward to qualifying. Pace seems to be decent.
