Nice of Sainz. Well-mannered of Verstappen to stand up when also Fred Vasseur drops by to congratulate him. And then that "Well done" by Alonso in the background.

LEW about MAX's 2023 world title : I've already said everything . Don't need to say more ...

#ButtHurt !

New development: Sainz will not participate to the race due to a fuel system issue on his Ferrari.
https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/a...w6x5Orv0o.html

I recall that he was complaining about a "misfire" issue during the Sprint race.

Sainz out, Perez starting from the pit lane, Russell and Hamilton starting on P2 and P3 ahead of the McLarens (due to deleted track times during Q3 for Norris and Piastri): Mercedes gets a golden chance to grab lots of precious WDC and WCC points tonight.

formation lap !!!

GuidoK · 10-08-2023, 01:02 PM

What a strange situation with the 3 pitstops.
I still think it's very sloppy from Pirelli that, knowing that this problem was already there 2 years ago, they totally overlooked this.

GuidoK · 10-08-2023, 01:04 PM

O.....M.....G!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hammy's best chance for becoming 2nd in the WDC gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So who's fault is this? Hammy's or George's?

LEW and RUS !!!! Knocked each other out

100 % LEW's fault !!! WTF !!!!

What a beginners mistake ...

GuidoK · 10-08-2023, 01:12 PM

I don't know if it's Hammy's fault.
Their team strategy was clearly that Hammy would be trying to jump Max at the start as he started on softs.
So RUS should have known that Hammy might try and overtake in the 1st corner.

But for sure it looked very amateuristic from both!
What a freak accident, especially as the battle for 2nd in the WDC is so close and Checo startin from the pits...

Should be an easy win for Max now, even with this strange tyre/pitstop situation

Although PIA is already 2nd!

PIA getting DRS or not will be crucial

M5Rick · 10-08-2023, 01:19 PM

Back from tenpin bowling and I see HAM and RUS collided with each other and HAM is out, oh dear.

Max 10sec up from PIA, already looking like a Sunday drive for MAX.

Wolff is fuming...so much for the two danger men starting behind Max.

M5Rick · 10-08-2023, 01:32 PM

Checo is third ! on hards as Max HAS to come in on the 18th lap...and he does for more meds.

Team debriefing at team MERC will be awkward tonight

What an epic fail for them...

///M Power-Belgium · 10-08-2023, 01:33 PM

LAP 18 = MAX first pitstop (2.3 sec.)

LAP 21 : MAX vs Piastri => Gap is 7.6 sec.

Hammy crossed the track after alighting from his car and is in trouble with the stewards for that as it's not allowed.

Artemis · 10-08-2023, 01:45 PM

The courage of Russell of keeping level-headed after the strong emotions of lap 1 is commendable.

M5Rick · 10-08-2023, 01:46 PM

Fernie can bag some points here holding third now with HAM out of the picture.

GuidoK · 10-08-2023, 01:49 PM

Checo got 5sec penalty for track limits?
That's not helpig Checo....
