Max in his own universe again…
However a fun race to watch, some exciting moments!

Very interesting sprint race. Battles everywhere you look.
VER comfortably ahead after an early scare, PER scraping through into 2nd.
RUS and HUL making good strategy calls salvaged their races for them.
LEC a touch unlucky in the pits messed up his attack. Getting tangled up with OCO didn’t help. SAI looked rock solid but unimaginative, just held on for dear life and drove to a podium.
STR really should have given ALO that place, every point counts if anyone is going to have even an outside chance of attacking VER for the championship.
OCO being his usual bullheaded self made him 7th, RUS raced him to the line and was 9 thousandths of a second behind.
Very entertaining. 8/10.

Would argue that STR needs his points too. ALO has no hope of beating VER this year.

Verstappen is casually pulling a pit stop gap on people during a sprint. I don’t think anybody has an outside chance for the championship

Who knows? A pack of lemurs might kidnap him before the end of the season. Got to keep fighting eh?

Actually a very enjoyable sprint! I still prefer regular race weekends, but the last minute pitstops were an exciting mixup. George seems pretty good with his strategy, too bad he couldn’t find an extra tenth at the end. Oh and poor Lando losing so many positions in one corner lap 1. I hope he gets a podium this year.

Lando just can’t catch a break lately, seems like the McLaren has been qualifying well and then getting screwed on track.

We just need to do the rain dance on the Sprint weekends and it will be good. 😉😇😉😇😉😇

Nice recovery from Piastri in the non-upgraded McLaren, showing the 1-stop strategy was faster.
