Meanwhile, guys like Stroll and Perez are lucky they have money behind them

Tsunoda has an engine manufacturer

Yup. It's all about the money. Good thing is Lawson has put himself firmly in the shop window for top level drives. It'll be F1 or Indycar, but the likelihood is the kid from Pukekohe will get paid soon

@Duluth looks like he just fucked the last corner otherwise he might've.

Aston Martin have gone to shit though eh.

Lawson managed to finish ahead in the feature race though, holding off Tsunoda for several laps on shit tires. He continues to impress

Yeah was it almost twenty laps or something? Brilliant. Odds on that bet would've been phenomenal.

@Bones

..and the last 8 of those laps he was mostly inside the DRS range

It's a travesty that he doesn't get to drive next year. But F1 is not about ability, it's all about the money

Not sure that's true. Yes, there are a few there on money, but the best drivers in the world are in F1, no question.

Brendon Hartley has had a huge amount of success but he was around a second a lap slower than his team mate.

Lawson wlll get a permanent F1 drive for sure based on his Alpha Tauri drives.

You must not be talking about Lance Stroll. There are a few others in the field that appear to be there based on their financial power as much as their driving ability

@canefan most definitely not talking about Stroll. Him and Sargent are a joke.

Sargent is the worst thing in F1 since Mazepan

Outstanding driving by Piastri on lap 6 to defend 2nd. One of the moments of the season for me

Bones

Love it. Ocon and Perez on either side of Hulkenberg, try to get rid of him in the corner and he slams on the brakes, to leave those eggs to slam into each other. Unfortunately he ends up out too.

SBW on the grid walk 🤣

Bones

That was pretty funny. Verstappen basically a pitstop in front, first place. Engineer comes on the radio and basically tells him to speed up

Max: "What's that?" Incredulously.

Bones

"Ok Kev, we need bravo ten, position four please"

Kev: "IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE!"

😂

Bones

So can someone explain to me - if no tire is allowed more than 18 laps - how do we get a 3 stop minimum over 57 laps?

Bones

I feel like Piastri could top himself at any moment.

He looked enormous next to Lazenby & Karun

?

3 * 18 = 54

So there needed to be 4 sets and 3 stops

The only thing that really entertained me was on the first corner.

Max won by less than a pit stop, how can you not be entertained. 2nd and 3rd were even on the same straight as him just after he won. Unbelievable

Duluth

Max comes from 6th on the grid to win. Had to nurse the car home on the last couple of laps though

Any opinions on the Hamilton & Leclerc disqualifications after the race?
