Track Map
My god is this race delivering - drama, overtakes, crashes everything
We need sprinklers randomly going off on all tracks.
Bernie?!
Pfft if you did that at Monaco, literally no one would finish. You’d have a Talladega Nights-esque ending where the drivers have to get out of the wreck and footrace to the chequered flag.
I’d watch that…
I think it’d be hilarious, but Yuki wouldn’t have a chance because he’s so short.
Hell wasn’t far off what happened in Monaco '96. Only 3 classified finishers at that race.
…holy fuck
We almost got road hazzards with the ballsy groundhogs popping up
ALBON NO
Just isn’t Williams’ year this year 😭
Edit: Dammit Sainz :(

It never is.
Damn the mercs were quick at the end. We genuinely have 4 teams capable of winning
Haas what did you do with the pitstop…
🤦♂️
I don’t even think they know…
Haas breaking everyone’s ankles, holy moly.
Brundle on Perez: I forgot he was in it (the race), if I’m honest
Can’t blame you there, Martin.
So unfortunate for Norris.
Crazy drama in this race so far.
Yeh well one could say it balances his luck from Miami
He also seemed to lose grip in the pit lane.
What a move by albono
Overtake of the day for sure.
Of the season till now
Bonkers strategy by Ferrari. What were they thinking.
Bold of you to assume they were.
Did the ghost of Mattias Binotto decide to haunt their paddock?
No way for them to get any points with the engine issue, might as well try something. As long as Charles doesn’t crash there’s no cost to going slicks
Perez you bellend…
Jeebuz…
He’s no longer a serious driver. Change my mind. Bring in Liam Lawson.
Tsunoda should be one if anybody in the RB family gets the seat
I agree, but I don’t know that he’d be allowed to switch teams mid-season.
Well he is contracted to red Bull so they can move him around within their teams in anyway they want. Remember gasly and albon, max and kvyat
I just wasn’t aware of what rules Formula 1 had surrounding mid-season team switches. I only really got into F1 a few years ago, so…
As long as all the parties are in agreement, there is no rules against drivers moving teams mid season. Sainz has moved teams mid season (Toro Rosso to renault) before and we also had de vries being let off last year and replaced with Danny ric
Also, he’s not the one bringing in the millions from Mexico
True.
Lando carries on, with inters… interesting.
One lap too much it seems
Totally understand why Haas made the call on wets, surprised more lower teams didn’t try it
But equally surprised they put both drivers on wets… smart choice for lower field runners surely would be split strategy?
My view is that they thought they’re so low they might as well send it. What happens if it goes wrong? They finish last in the Constructors’?
yeh, im more surprised other teams didn’t give it a shot.
Like why did Red Bull not take a punt with Perez, faster cars, on wet tyres, he could have made up a ton of places if it worked out.
Wouldn’t have mattered, because Checo finds a way to bottle it.
And Leclerc pits again. Looks like the Ferrari is back boys.
Well they are slow + leclerc has a PU issue. He was a perfect candidate for a crazy strategy because he ain’t scoring points anyway
Albono passing between two cars to overtake. Oh Albono and Canada is always exciting.
Did Charles factory reset his car?
He just did the old “delete win32.sys” trick. Also, hello. Didn’t know you liked F1, too. Mikadono sisters on the grid when?
Been watching F1 since the 80s. 😅 Hopefully tomorrow morning there’ll be the new chapter!
Oh wow! Yeah that’d be nice. Think Miwa could do better than Checo this race?
Would be hard not to…
