    Stroll upset he can’t crash into other cars whenever he feels like it

      Stroll just needs to be out of F1 already, he just keeps showing he is not on the level to do this. Guy makes the dumbest mistakes and never seems to own up to it. He’s slow as hell most days, to boot.

      What pissed me off was when he said on the radio that Ricciardo was an idiot for braking hard. I mean seriously?

    Not a good day for the Aussies. Bottas out with engine troubles, Ricciardo and Piastri getting torpedoed by Stroll.

    So nice to have Nico alongside Crofty. I love the insight he gives, really adds a lot to the race.

      I personally find him arrogant and grating. But he does have a few good analyses, I will say.

      Not just insight, but also not afraid to push back a little against Crofty when he said Alonso’s last stop was working out well. He corrected him by saying Alonso is making the most of a terrible situation. You don’t see Martin do that too often.

      Not saying Crofty needs to be 100% correct all the time. When you’re talking for 2+ hours you’re allowed to make some mistakes, as long as they get picked up and corrected. Like today. It was civil and nice.

      I assume there is loads of carbon and metal wheel rim over the track.

      • Was that tractor on track?

    Aston Martin took a page from the Ferrari '22 playclownbook

    Edit: Ok, since Alonso started banging in fastest laps this might have been a premature comment. We’ll see
