I dont understand why a red flag was needed. Couldnt they get Leclerc's car out of the way with just the safety car status? was it dangerous?

Should we go for Softs or Mediums till the end?
If Norris doesn't get a penalty, softs. If he gets a penalty, mediums :).

They need to rebuild the wall. It's dangerous to race if someone hits the wall again.

I don't think standing start (only when start behind safety car). To Norris, bot and ham do it most of the time, and the rule is anyway stupid, when you are in front you should have the right to drive slow. But I think there will be a penalty.

Fingers crossed for Norris not to get a penalty. Then for both drivers to pass the Alfas and Gasly in front so we can challenge Stroll quickly.

Stroll will fail under pressure.

Mixed messages about Stroll. He may have to pit again.

I don't understand why they're allowed to work on the cars under red flags.

Completely unfair.

He has fresh rubber, buffer zone behind and tow from front...an ideal position. FIA handed him the victory. I feel truly disgusted.

How come, we are P4 and P5 after GIO and HAM take the penalties. We can get a double podium today if Norris doesn't get a penalty.

Mclaren still has enough straight line speed that they could claw this back even after getting screwed like that.

I was so happy an hour ago. But hell, I am feeling so angry right now.. I am withholding myself of turning the tv off completely. I might as well do so if it starts looking like the billionaire kid is going to win this.

No need to panic. The race is still 28 laps to go and the team has enough speed to pass all those in front but we need to go full attack.
