That ending unfortunately ruined what was a very enjoyable and entertaining race .

 

This is why they called it .

Norris dominate but there was all sorts going on behind him and what an outstanding drive by Ollie Bearman.

 

Think Verstappen and Oscar might be fairly satisfied  in the end though .

 

Might be a heated debrief at Mercedes and did Verstappen get away without punishment when Hamilton was ?

 

if I’m not mistaken, Hamilton wasn’t punished for going off the track, but for the advantage he gained when coming back on..

The debris was on the run off area, don't know why they are getting it anyway.

... which wouldn't have happened had Leclerc been forced to give his place back to Lewis after turn 1 as he gained two places (the lead) after leaving the track but only gave back one.

 

... which in turn wouldn't have led to a dive bomb up the inside in which Lewis's car essentially prevented Max from flying off the circuit as he was not in control at the corner.

 

... which according to the FIA at the time was viewed as Lewis causing a collision.

 

... which then led to the event you have described.

 

That's a fair evaluation of events.  Whether or not people agree with the outcome is up to them. 

 

The general consensus from what I've read since, and watched back, is that it isn't good enough.  It hasn't been since 2021 Abu Dhabi.

Yes seems to be but then didn’t Leclerc and Verstappen do that ?

Advantage Norris .

Is this going to be a good week for Aston Martin?

Suspect so. Lots of fair praise for Alonso getting 5th, but when Lance is only 2 spots back suggests the car is VERY suited here... 

[Super_horns]

Oh Oscar !

 

Got caught on a wet patch created by Norris .

Glad Bortoleto is ok  - was a very nasty crash .

 

Good win for Norris but Mercedes look strong .

[StanSP]

Not going well for Piastri is it.

Looked like something broke on the Sauber ?

Big shunt.

The FIA are going to have a difficult afternoon tomorrow attempting to get Max through the field.  They'll bring out the safety car as soon as an empty wrapper or two hit the circuit, and a single spot of rain.

[PhillippaT]

Hamilton out in Q2.

[PhillippaT]

I hate the way Crofty keeps comparing to sprint qualifying, like the sprint race didn't happen already  

[Super_horns]

Perfect for Norris.

 

Impressive from Kimi and Leclerc..

 

But  Verstappen did win from 17th last year ..

 

Least the second RB team look good !

I’d say it’s guaranteed Norris win now but they seem to be taking turns being morons so wouldn’t be surprised if the pendulum swings the other way next weekend

Will it be like Mexico where he wins by miles then it’s a lottery for the other positions .

[isaidno]

Verstappen starting from the pit lane. In the dry Norris should win easily, if it rains its a lottery.

Did look like they massively messed the set up for qualy and had to make changes. 

[Zear0]

That's one way to get through Oscar 

[PhillippaT]

What a day for Ferrari

Max going to gain a place a lap up to 6th isn't he. 

Hes unreal. Shame he's such a knob
