Happy with that. Norris in a well deserved 2nd. And 2 Brits on the podium.
Well deserved indeed. I’m so happy for him and Piastri right now.
I was skeptical but I’m really glad the hards ended up being the right call for Lando
Max was Max, Norris was brilliant, Hamilton drove well (and got some luck), Piastri was great, Perez again finished behind slower cars, Stroll needs to go.
Upvoted because Stool needs to go.
I was looking forward to a shooey on the podium today, but no such luck.
Very happy for Lando! What a drive.
Really impressive drive from Oscar too. I think he would have gotten 3rd if he pitted under the full safety car instead of the VSC
I think Hamilton might have got him at the restart, he would have been slower in maggots and beckets trailing lando and landos defense was nearly perfect

She’s Lewis’ “friend” lol
Damn. Stroll hitting Gasly was very unnecessary.
Really understating it here. Stroll’s driven quite poorly today in general, to be honest, so I can’t say I’m entirely shocked.
He should be getting penalty points for that move.
Is that not already the case?
He got two points, and is up to seven this season.
Doesn’t that put him close to a race ban?
5 second penalty 🙄
Sometimes the penalties are insane, considering that the other driver had to retire…
Gasly got Strolled
I just want to say how great the growth of content and conversation has been here in just a few weeks. Let’s see what the McCedes can do.

Me too. I never commented on Reddit as it would get buried anyways. Today I switched and I already commented twice. I would like to see a good conversation here during live events.
I can’t believe how good Lando is defending himself against Hamilton… Impressive!
Norris is driving like a madman out there and it’s so much fun to watch
Yes! DoTD for me (and not just because I’m a fan)!
I just don’t understand why McLaren put Norris and Piastri on hard tyres.
Even split strategies surely after seeing how long George lasted on softs
We’ll see, the C1 is a new tire this year. It’s possible most teams underestimated it.
TIL. I really need to pay more attention to things like this.
The garbage tire from Silverstone last year is called C0 this year.
Wait I didn’t know C0 was a thing. (Unless this means they just binned it, and I’m missing the joke.)
No they’re still technically available though I doubt Pirelli are actually going to bring them out on any circuit this season. We have six compounds this year, C0-C5.
Huh. Thank you for the explanation!
I get the hards for Piastri, but soft was the obvious call for Lando. Just strange that they would give him such a disadvantage on the restart.
Great defense from Norris and Piastri, didnt think they would keep the mercedes behind them.
I’m gonna need a replay of Norris’ defence against Hamilton. That was imo the best racing we got this year so far.
Yea that first lap after the safety car was amazing.
Um, wtf, hards for Norris?
That’s going to hurt them
Aged like milk ;)
still can’t believe mclaren made the hards work, lewis’s softs were done shortly after the restart
It’s a bummer Piastri didn’t have softs, not that it was anyone’s fault of course. But I bet he would’ve passed Hamilton before the end of the race!
Why?? What was going through their heads?
Why would they do that!?
Norris sounds pissed, and I can’t say I blame him. What the fuck were McLaren thinking?
I think there needs to be a rework for the penalties. You look at WEC and a penalty seriously stings. Drive-throughs costing 30 seconds, S&G being 60s. What do we get, 5s for taking a driver out? The penalties are anemic
As is, the penalties are clearly not a deterrent to possibly dangerous conduct. That’s got to change.
The intent was not to take a driver out. Hence the penalty.
I don’t think WEC drivers intend to cause incidents or leave track limits either, it’s a result of driving hard and if you go over those limits, then you get a penalty. This isn’t about intent, this is about the pathetic slap on the wrist for bad driving.
You have to include intent in the decision making. If someone drives hard and accidentally wobbles and hits a competitor causing them to go off track and retire that needs to be penalised differently to driving hard and t-boning a competitor. Wouldn’t you agree?
I’m not debating that if it was on purpose it should be more severe, this is about how pathetic F1 penalties are. Don’t straw man my argument.
In this incident we had Stroll fully off the track on the outside after braking too late. He then decided to not break while off-track, re-entered the track unsafely, and careered into Gasly on unsafe re-entry. All of that resulted in a meager 5 second penalty.
Don’t straw man my argument.
Steady on lad. We were having a friendly discussion 😄. Nobody’s trying to straw man you. Don’t worry about it.
Really strong defending from Alonso there considering how bad the Aston were here today.
Love this Lewis/Lando duel!
Yeah, some great driving. Let’s see what happens with DRS
Piastri is the new Invisible Man. Sitting casually in 4th as a rookie and nobody is even talking about him!
Really unlucky safety car for him. He absolutely deserved the podium today.
