    Antonelli saying he can still fight for a point is some real black knight from Monty Python and the Holy Grail energy.

    Ferrari missing out a 1-2 because of strategy, good result but still managed to fit in a small screw-up in the end

    Edit: Audi points yay! :-D

    shame Hulkenberg once again with reliability issues, bro can’t catch a break (or some points either)

      It was the right call, Ham had very old hards vs Rus with newer Mediums (I think). But somehow the FIA manages to mess it up again (I mean with the “Safety car in this lap” message and then: “ups naaa that jesting”)

        Fair, if we had one last racing lap it would have been a great shakeup on the front, Russell could’ve taken the chance for P1 and probably some fight for podium. But yeah, race got FIAd

          No way Russel would have been able to attack, with both Ferraris having Softs. All in all, it was a hard call for Ferrari and they thought they would have had 1 or 2 laps left. I don’t see it as a big mistake.

    How do they do it? How do they always ruin it one way or another? FIA must only hire patented idiots looks like

      What’s strange is the “Safety car in” message and then nope it keeps out. It was a very 50/50 chance of them being able to do 1-2 laps unfortunately

        Apparently the rulebook says that if they let cars unlap themselves, they must wait to bring the safety car in until after the following lap, so they messed up with the timing of the unlap and left it too late.

    Antonelli the only one going Medium-Soft (presumably) is ballsy.

    EDIT: ah, they were cowards, boo!

    Why the fuck so they swap front wing in this instance when it’s likely suspension damage? Bizarre hahaha

        It’s still so weird to me, Kimi says something fundamental is wrong and they’re like “I guess we’ll change front wing 🤷‍♀️”. I am not an engineer or aerodynamicist but I don’t understand what that would fix in this case.

          They just do it because it doesn’t hurt. The car will stand there for at least a couple of seconds so why not? What if they realize after 5 seconds that it was the front wing? Better start changing it as soon as possible.

            Gives a little time to do visual inspection on the front suspension too! You only have a few tools in the toolbox with a ridiculously vague problem statement so might as well try a few things to maybe not have to come back in

              Yes, but how likely is it that they find and fix the unknown issue in less than 10 seconds? It’s really unlikely that changing the front wing will hurt.

                It looked weird to me as it looked a lot like “fuck it we don’t know what’s wrong, let’s change the front wing and hope for the best”, but in the context of wanting to do a quick inspection of the car (taking longer than a normal pitstop) I guess changing the front wing at the same time doesn’t hurt yeah.

    It was the right call to keep Leclerc out. He’s got a better chance of defending for 12 laps than catching kimi in 12.

    This race is not THAT bad … i expected worst. I am pleasantly surprised. Its not anything spectacular but shit is happening on the grid, and it does not seem synthetic.
