Potential changes at Red Bull \Racing Bulls.

 

Isak Hadjar is supposedly out with injury so Liam Lawson takes his place and Yuki looks set to return for a race .

 

Be funny if Lawson beat Verstappen in his own backyard!

Max extends at RB to 2030

But will he last that long ?

How much does that contract really mean

He didn’t have to sign it !

Jesus wept this track is criminally dull and void of any racing. 

 

Lots of the top 10 runners within a second of each other in the opening laps, but after 10 laps you can count the attempted overtakes on the fingers of one hand. Never mind the actual overtakes which is one I think when Antonelli got Piastri in the first few corners. 

[Asha]

Sprints are so boring. This is a poor circuit for it too, and the next is Singapore! 

[isaidno]

Typical that it starts raining on the last lap.

[Zear0]

Thankfully this is the final season at this dreadful circuit.

[Super_horns]

Mercedes v McLaren for the win ?

 

Or can Ferrari and Verstappen step up .

[fleshdaddy]

Hopefully it keeps on raining to spice things up a bit!

[PhillippaT]

I haven't even bothered watching any of the other sessions so far, and sitll don't think I missed much :-/  Hopefully the race will be worth it  

[trabuch]

Ahh. Shame Max. All his fault too.

[Zear0]

Fortunate to not wipe out half the field there

Yep - took too much of the inside...

[The Bear]

Weird the commentary hasn't mentioned that Max dipped the edge of his wheel onto the white line and grass at the end of the kerb. 

 

Very, very obvious what happened. 

[PhillippaT]

What score should we give Bortoleto for his spin? 6 or 7/10?  

[The Bear]

Hulkenburg very, very lucky. 

[foxfanazer]

Hulkenberg did incredibly well to avoid a serious crash there. Maybe more luck than judgement 

[Zear0]

This race ever going to get going...

[The Bear]

I have to say a safety car restart would be much fairer for a race restart after a red flag. 

 

Seems a bit unfair to all those who've fought for places previously to have to negotiate a standing start and risk losing them again through no fault of their own. 

[Legend_in_blue]

Leclerc is such a good team player...

[Legend_in_blue]

What are Ferrari doing? 

 

Total jokers.

[Zear0]

Bit desperate from George there

[Legend_in_blue]

Not too sure who has had the biggest brain fart there, Mercedes or Ferrari? 

 

 

[Zear0]

Decent race in the end.  Usual chaos from Ferrari wall and George did well to hold on to that.

[The Bear]

George is becoming a serial whinger on the radio. Always complaining about team decisions the second anything looks to go against him. 

 

That message suggesting Kimi stay behind him was pathetic tbh. Why didn't the team just tell him the huge tyre offset and the fact he's over a second quicker? Just shut it down.
