Yeah I watched it, Norris got lucky as Verstappen was flying when Russell crashed.

Track looks horrific. Real chance of big mistakes come the last 20 mins due to exhaustion.

Apparently he tried to provide slipstream to Yuki in Q2 but didn’t race himself due to penalties.

It would’ve been great experience for Lawson to have a full qualification. That’s pretty much all this weekend is about because of where he has to start

It was more about Tsunoda. He was on the cusp of the top ten and taking Lawson out meant there was one less driver for him to beat in Q2.

If you start at 20 not sure what a good result is? Finish better than 15?

Horner called it a soft start. The bar is low

I thought it was only a 10 place penalty? Was it 18?

Purely done so Tsunoda didn't get shown up again. The fluffybunny still complained about getting a slipstream.

Billy Tell

Early days but up to 11!

The wanted to keep tyres and stuff good for the race 20th (or 19th as it ended up) as he was still pretty unlikely to get anything other than 9th or so in reality.

MajorRage

He’s doing great. Clearly not a back marker like Hartley was.

Abortion of a race so far McLaren

Billy Tell

Currently 9th but yet to pit. Norris really needs to work on his starts!

Billy Tell

Lawson 9th post pit stop and most importantly ahead of his teammate.

Billy Tell

9th! Great first effort. Although Russell was amazing coming back from pit start to 6th.

JK

9th is a pretty bloody awesome finish given where he started.

To be fair his car is superior and he's been racing all season.....

Perez knocked out in QF1 at his home Grand Prix. Surely his days at red bull are numbered.

Billy Tell

Tsunoda lasted all of about 5s. If Lawson finishes the race he’s beat his teammate.

Great action so far, with Verstappen and Norris tangling, and some great wheel to wheel action between Lawson, Perez and Stroll

Such a dick eh. No way he was going to make that corner without touching his fucking brakes. He might be half decent and bearable without all the "look in the mirror" red mist.

Billy Tell

Accident forced Lawson to pit and lost a few places. Still finished ahead of Perez though.

MajorRage

Perez toast surely. He doesn’t like Lawson much

The 2 red bull drivers are complete knobs. Verstappen can drive but every race complains. And today he just lost his rag and soaked up a 20s penalty. Perez can’t drive to save himself and he’s cost red bull the constructor title with his minimal contribution.

If I’m honest the driver who’s impressing me more then Lawson is colapinto. But solid start from Lawson who would have finished 11 or 12 but for the brush with colapinto.
