    That kid is gonna be world champion. I’m absolutely enamored with the fact that Oscar won his first race on the day the Max got his 3rd title. That’s a hell of a gauntlet.

      Piastri is incredibly good. I was skeptical of him coming in, and I was entirely wrong. Kid has proven himself to be able to run up against the best and hold his own. Absolutely amazing talent that very much deserves his seat. Mclaren made some big brain moves to “steal” him from alpine, where tbh his talent would have probably been wasted

    Its been a tough few years as a McLaren fan but finally back at the top. So glad to have Piastri on board. Really hope Lando stays with the team.

    Piastri getting his first win before Lando, even being a sprint is a little rough.

    Lando win tomorrow?

      Lando win tomorrow?

      Unlikely from P10 but there’s genuine pace in the car from both drivers. It will be exciting depending on what happens with tires.

        I could see tyres and safety cars mixing the up the order pretty significantly tomorrow. In all reality it’ll probably be a verstappen win, but one can hope

          Max starting well ahead of the only cars that are likely to match him on pace probably means an easy win without intervention from a safety car or something.

    Alpine missing a tyre, but RB is missing a huge chunk of its sidepod.

    Looks like Ocon just ran across Hulk and took out an innocent Perez

    That was a satisfying sprint, with all the position changes right up to the last lap.

    I somehow really feel for Lando. So consistent and loyal to the team. Number 1 driver at McLaren for a long time. And both of the last wins aren’t his. A great future for Oscar though.

    What a shitshow. Can’t wait to see what the ratio of safety car laps to racing laps ends up being.

    Verstappen is real life Ricky Bobby. Has the WDC sealed up but wants to win a fucking sprint race just to win.

      I could totally see them retiring Max so he can win the title tomorrow instead of after a sprint

        They’re saying he doesn’t even need to complete the Sprint. He’s won the championship by Perez retirement.

          F

          Gotta be the most anti-climactic championship win for a very anti-climactic season of Max dominance

            Max has been ultra dominant, but the rest of the drivers have had some excellent racing. Perez starting off strong, Alonso’s podium streak, Hamilton slowly creeping up to 3rd, George’s excellent but unfruitful pushes, Sainz’s Singapore win, the recent McLaren upturn.

            He didn’t even sound excited on the post flag radio messages lol it was the most bored “thanks for all you do” message ever and I’ve heard plenty being corporate IT

      Def looks more like Ocon to blame to me. Checo kinda happened to be collateral damage. Damn.

    YOU ARE KIDDING ME PEREZ. They gotta red flag this, otherwise its safety car till the end

    EDIT: nevermind, I think it’s mostly ocons or hulks fault

      Nah, that would allow easy tire changes, by far the most ridiculous part of red flags.
