    FIA investigating yet another incident after the race… Nothing worse than not knowing the results of a race when the race ends, if you’re gonna give him a penno then just do it 😤

      They want to give the drivers a chance to talk to the stewards themselves

        I hear that a lot, and I know I don’t know what goes on behind closed doors in that office… But they didn’t do the same for Leclerc with the George incident 🤷‍♂️

      yeah I don’t get it. To me that should have been a max giving back the pos penalty. seems odd to not clearing out on the spot.

    Slow burn race, thrilling end, and ENORMOUS props to McLaren for being the only team on the grid with the gumption and integrity to let their drivers scrap. Thank god for McLaren!

    That lock up cost piastri. Rare mistake from him. He should taken the normal line like he did on the last lap on lap 69 to try a setup a overtake on the last lap. Taking the regular racing line on the last lap, he was closer to Lando throughout the lap

      At the same time, that mistake showed Piastri’s greatness in not crashing into Norris there. Could have easily gone bad for both of them.

      I don’t know, maybe he should have setup for the attempt on lap 70 instead of 69, but being closer around the lap doesn’t mean much around here where turn one is the only real overtaking spot. I understand why he went for it.

        If he entered the main straight around 6 tenths behind, he can gain enough through drs and slipstream to get into a proper divebomb range. On the other hand what actually happened was after the lockup he was slightly further behind and entered the main straight on lap 70 seven tenths behind and too far back to get in place for divebomb.

        Edit - I also get why he did it but it was a mistake nonetheless. Shows that as good as he has been, he is not perfect. We have a cracker of a championship battle on our hands

    Solid race by Russel to get the P3. Kudos by Mclaren to have different pit strategy for their driver and letting them fight the p1/p2. Ferrari with Leclerc there is something weird with all the frustration in the race. Alonso still got it with a P5.

      It is not that simple. Usually tyre deg is so high that a single stop race is not possible. The temps were unusually low today and that meant deg was less and a one stop turned out to be the better strategy.

            I have to go back and look at the statistics but we’ve had a lot of one-stoppers the last two to three years. The two-stopper is almost always faster on paper but not always the best strategy, especially with all the dirty air.

            I want to say it was 2023 that the one-stop trend started?

              I am talking about hungary specifically. One stop is more popular in most tracks but hungaroring always has been two stops.

                Ah my bad! Yeah, over the last couple of years we have seen more and more tracks that were traditionally a two-stopper end up with the one-stop being better.
