Looked at his history, he won GP3 with 1 race win and lots of podiums, no one else really in that Championship either.Hope so, never understood the Ocon hype.

Was that where he beat Max ?Looked at his history, he won GP3 with 1 race win and lots of podiums, no one else really in that Championship either.
Max never did GP3. He beat him in FIA F3 Europe, which was then merged with GP3 etc etc. Max had 10 wins to his 9 despite being a year younger (Max was only 16 at the time, quite young for F3)Was that where he beat Max ?
That always seems to come up in the Ocon conversation, about how he beat Max as his teammate in a junior series.
I think they're 10 second penalties now arent they? He would have had to get past Lando etc given the gap in the end.Complete hypothetical situation here
Lets say that Max catches up to Russell, and instead of sticking behind him the whole time, Max just drives straight on at the Nouvelle Chicane to overtake George, completely cutting the corner in the process to get passed.
Questions
1. What sort of penalty would he get
and more importantly
2. Would he have been able to make that up on track (if it were just a time penalty), given that he was at that stage a good few seconds a lap quicker than George.
Would deserve more for something that (hypothetically) cynical but Max should've done it anyway to highlight how silly this race has become.I think they're 10 second penalties now arent they? He would have had to get past Lando etc given the gap in the end.
thing is, none of the other top four had any significant tyre issues. i think oscar recognises it's any area where he needs to improve.On a track with DRS and that you can overtake on he wouldn't have cooked his tyres so much. He did because it doesn't matter.
He would have lost his place to #blessed though.Would deserve more for something that (hypothetically) cynical but Max should've done it anyway to highlight how silly this race has become.

That just highlights even further how poor the track is for racing that he was able to cruise around in second all race without ever really facing a real threat of being passed.According to McLaren, Sainz ramming Piastri resulted in "20 points" of aerodynamic loss, which equates to 0.5 sec/lap. The repairs they did during the red flag reduced the damage to "10 points", or roughly 0.1-0.2 sec/lap. The bigger concern was the impact that it had on OP's ability to keep his tires in good shape, which is why he was unable to stick with LeClerc at the end of the race.

Agreed. Any other track and Sainz would have screwed his race completely.That just highlights even further how poor the track is for racing that he was able to cruise around in second all race without ever really facing a real threat of being passed.
Didn't realise Miami was that bad as well. **** them both off.Further confirmation of just how processional the Monaco GP was. According to SpeedCafe, there were only 4 on-track passes completed during the entire race. That's the lowest for the season, beating the 6 overtakes in the Miami Sprint, and 21 overtakes in the China sprint. The next lowest figures for a full GP are 24 (Albert Park), and 25 (Jeddah).

This track really needs to be removed from the fixture list ASAP.
Note that's the Miami Sprint race. The real Miami GP saw more overtakes than Monaco, Australia, and Saudi Arabia. The article doesn't mention how many overtakes happened in races other than those I mentioned previously.Didn't realise Miami was that bad as well. **** them both off.
