Classy fans booing Leclerc after the race for an idiot move by Checo.

I'm not saying Ferrari would have won. Just saying we would have been held in a bit more suspense, as Verstappen would have had to catch and overtake. What was left to the imagination went out the window with the broken Haas.

Yet still if Leclerc went to mediums, maybe we would have seen him have to hold of Verstappen for 20 laps or more. We don't know.
If he had gone on mediums, then he wouldn't be able to 1 stop, given that he also started on mediums. Need to run 2 compounds. 🙂

I mean the mediums after the red flag. That could have also spiced up the race. He should have been able to pass Verstappen off the line.

The paddock talks. Wonder what this rumour is...

I don't want to believe the rumor that they have told me now in the paddock. No.

Max today pulled an incredible start.
Both Red Bulls had a great first start today I think. Their race start engineer deserves a raise.

The start is not just getting moving. I meant the whole thing.

The start here is always dangerous, more often then not (almost always 3 wide) someone ends up off the track. Very exciting for us, but also something the drivers have to deal with. Checo just wanted a bit too much, coming from the 3rd row and by his own words, wanting to lead the race by the first corner.

Some rumours that it might be Saudis buying Aston Martin.

My guess is that it's Alonso retiring.

Alonso calling it quits, lost belief in the project, or news regarding, MSC. Don’t see the need to post otherwise. Poor from Fabrega.

It's possible, but it's also true that in his latest instagram post he said "see you next year Mexico" or something to that effect, soo...
