I like Rosberg’s honesty in the comm box

 

[Acinath]

Is Nico Rosberg secretly British? Ffs he’s annoying, Sky are paying him extra for every time he says how good Lando is.

I badly miss Martin

****, I’d rather listen to Di Resta

Points down to 12th?
Everybody gets a ribbon!

He knows his audience.
Reports/comms for other media at the races he doesn’t do for Sky.
Reckon he’d be on whoever was their countryman on those broadcasts.

Giving everyone points works in series like Supercars and Indycar because the parity means top drivers don't win every race.
Not really required in F1

 

[Aussie pie]

Ffs stf up about Nando Nico. This is beyond ridiculous.

 

[Nuggs Bunny]

IMO it's races like this that will stamp Sergio's papers. Not many acceptable excuses for not closing down on the car in front for second when your team mate is lapping half a second faster in the lead

Most will vote for it because just getting one point gets you a slice of the post season dividend.

Vhew…
When I heard that Max radio call I thought Lando was going to be gifted a win.

Piastri done well to hold off Hamilton with a Strolled car

 

[Eaglemaniac]

So was there a reason for Oscar slow pace compared to his teammate before he got Strolled?

Not really, Lando just had a run of clear air behind the Red Bulls at the start which made his race easy to manage while Piastri was duelling with the Ferraris and Russell all race.

When I watched it just now it seemed like they were both equally in traffic at the start but Oscar just kept dropping back. I know it’s a new track for him but to be losing 1 second a lap on your teammate is too much.

Not much of an excuse but he was having to hold off the Ferrari's and George for quite a while when Lando had pretty clean air. I'd hazard a guess that screwed his tyres a bit.

 

[Barrybran]

Just finished the replay. ****ing Stroll.

 

[Barrybran]

Foregone conclusion as usual but this race was interesting at least. Ricciardo had a pretty good race until the restart. Oscar struggled. Batshit crazy move by Aston to put Alonso on softs from 7th. Brilliant drives from Lando and the Ferraris. Lewis and Hulk solid to score points, driving through the pack and holding their positions, respectively. Definitely some terrible driving by some of the back markers as noted by others.

 

[Dockerjonz]

Just finished the replay. ******* Stroll.

Talk about a rear ender and this khunnts meant to be in a supposed premier racing league

 

[Black_White]

I can’t find a result for this.

Well said by RIC after his race was ruined by Stroll:

“And apparently I'm an idiot. And it was my fault. So, that made my blood boil. Because it's clear as day - and it's also behind a safety car.

“The only thing you've got to do is watch the car in front, we can't predict what the leader is going to do. We can't assume that we're going to go in Turn 14. The race doesn't start until the control line."

“The biggest thing is if they’re like ‘oh, we’ll give him a five-place penalty the next race', but he still is then blaming me, that’s a bigger problem. I want him to understand once the dust settles, if he's still hot-headed today, he needs to learn from this."

“We've all made mistakes. I've done it, we all have. As long as he understands that he was the one that's ruined not only his race but mine, that's the biggest thing we can take away."

RIC copped a 10 second time penalty for overtaking under the SC, but because he had retired it becomes a 3 grid place penalty at the next race....so he really got STROLLED hard today as he somehow ends up copping a harsher penalty than Stroll once its all said and done

Who did Ricciardo overtake under the safety car?

Danny Ric is right Stroll is dumb dumb. Doesn't have the driving IQ that the others have. Bar a couple maybe.

 

[DamoESP]

Who did Ricciardo overtake under the safety car?

Hulkenberg.

Pretty much Hulkenberg got past RIC when RIC got Strolled (it was still saftey car conditions when that happened) and so in turn RIC thought he could recover his position as HUL went past him under the SC conditions....but the FIA say no.

So in short, its bullshit.

Wow that's ****ed. Rough on Hulkenberg as well. Stroll should be thankful he's not serving a three-place grid penalty in Miami.
