Yep. Going to get even more interesting in 30 secs.

What a race…. Podium for Lewis….I will take that. What a race…

 

[midlifecrisis]

Wow, wow...I joined late but glad I saw lap 46. It was a bit like the Moto3s. Elbows out!

 

[Oneball]

Probably the best 5 laps in F1 since ‘79. And Sainz won. What more could you ask for.

Well …Lewis…. But no a great race and great to see the podium without Leclerc and Max. What a race…..

 

[Oneball]

Maybe but I’ve wanted Sainz to win a GP for yonks.

If it had been his old man in a Celica GT4

Wasnt even his fault. He’s been quite impressive this year. Might not be a WDC but I don’t think he’s put a foot wrong which is more than you can say for some of the others.

Perez got a nice lasting advantage by leaving the track while battling Le Clerc on the last corner and it helped catapult him into 2nd place

I think somebody will be filling the gap between the two fences with tyres or something. Nobody wants to see a car and driver trapped like that again.

Luckily it didnt go up in flames this time.

It wasn't luck but engineering.

True, but when engineering fails it can turn bad very quickly.

Nasty accident, and was quite frightening in real time as the Alfa hit the wall close to me.
Thankfully there was a halo device protecting Zhou!

I felt sorry for Leclerc, he really deserved the win today.

 

[Wattie]

Well …Lewis…. But no a great race and great to see the podium without Leclerc and Max. What a race…..

Great drive by arguably the goat.
Poor pit stop stop probably cost him the race.......if he’d come out second ahead of Sainz he wouldn’t have been caught up so much in the restart mayhem.
Was it just me that thought the safety car stayed out far too long?
I bet Perez couldn’t believe his luck at the end.

Pleased my 32 doesn't have a Ferrari power unit.....

 

[Andyk]

That was a good race….Lots of overtaking. Enjoyed that.

There has to be a fundamental problem with the track if so many ‘got done‘ for exceeding track limits.
