4 second stop for Alonso of course ๐

Lawson does love a 5 second penalty for causing a collision, doesn't he?
Come on Leclerc, be a hero of the people and overtake Norris.
It's a little bit boring, but it's the safe way to do it. Just cruising to 3rd should be very easy for him and that's all that's needed.
Great racing by both Alonso and Piastri there!
Yeah when you look at the product the FIA asked for you have to say Pirelli failed to deliver this year. And you can also tell it's a failure due to all the times Pirelli themselves predicted a two-stop would be faster, only for all the teams to go "no no, this was always a clear one-stop" after the race. This has happened multiple times.
Yeah we basically need three cars to be faster than Lando. Even if Max wins and Russel gets second (not unthinkable), McLaren will just ask to swap positions if Piastri is third. So we'll need another podium crasher and I just can't see it.
Next year is the biggest regulation change in decades. DRS will be gone. There'll be another team on the grid, or two really with Audi. And the first year of a set of regulations is always crazy cool imo. Development race will be wild, we'll have many different aero concepts at the start, the new engines will probably have reliability issues for a while...
Of all the times to stop watching, this one I can't really understand. If course if what you want is tons of overtaking and wheel-to-wheel then there is no guarantees, but when was that ever guaranteed in F1?
Such a shame. He had the pace, and having him start 2nd would have made the race insanely tense. We can still hope for a miracle but he'd have to have a great start. Not easy to pass around here.
Insanely close so far. Top 16 almost within half a second!
I've complained about Norris's race craft before, but that double overtake was slick.
