Podium for Hadjar!

Great race with a lot of drama with 3 DNF from Hamilton, Leclerc and Norris. Strong race and strategy by Piastri, Verstappen and Hadjar. Mercedes did not perform. Ferrari, where to start, Leclerc showed determination but bad team strategy with the pit stop which resulted in the accident. Hamilton seems better mentaly and i hope it get better in Monza. Alonso is still GOAT and Aston martin is quite a surprise. Albon, Bearman in the points. Conclusion Crash your car in practice and qualification and finish 8 like Stroll....and Piastri is really taking a strong option for the championship win.

Been a while since we had a clusterfuck race like this, reminds me of the old times.

How the hell am I supposed to do a writeup of all this in the post race thread 😅

Someone needs to tell Race Direction that the battles are supposed to go on the big screen, not that tiny thingy at the side

So, Leclerc is out. But because the FIA decided that they wanted to take lunch instead of doing their job and deciding on the penalty for Leclerc/Russell, they're now in a position where if they DO give Leclerc a penalty for the Russell incident (which, to be fair... Maybe), he'll carry that into the next race.

The FIA are genuinely maybe the worst thing about this whole sport. They make it so hard to watch and enjoy.

10s penalty for Sainz wow. I thought it was just a racing incident.

That shot of Leclerc sitting on the hill while the McLarens drive by 😭

Leclerc chose violence with that VSC restart, wow. Incredible.

and Ferrari is done!!! Leclerc is out

New strategy. We don't need tires where we are going

Damn Norris! But podium for Hadjar maybe !!

I mean, that's on Kimi right? Where was Leclerc supposed to go?

Noooooooooooooooooo not like this. Not like this for Norris.

Hadjar Podium 😎

Love to see some actual racing, well done Leclerc for providing entertainment. Also I have four billion pounds for anybody who can explain to me why Sainz deserves a ten second penalty for Lawson opening up his steering 😂

Stroll's driving over debris early leading to him accidentally undercutting the whole field is the kind of 500 IQ play that makes him the goat

Can we vote Leclerc as best overtake?

I hope that Hadjar can keep the third place, but this also opens P4 for Albon against Russell with a damaged car.

Investigating after the race, as usual with the FIA fancying taking the afternoon off I guess. Fucking useless, impossible to trust the results when the race finishes any more. Pointless to actually watch at this point 🤷‍♂️

Great battle between Russel and Leclerc, finally some action. That was quite the move

Just gonna leave this here. Wind is SSW

There have been some emotional moments this race. Hadjar has a chance to give this a happy ending.

Leclerc is hungry. Good move on Russell

Alonso pitted and now has fastest lap.

Should have fun, even if it doesn't work. Not sure what his tire delta is.

Unexpected out for Norris!!! Wonder what that was. Keeping fingers crossed for a Hadjar podium now 🤞

Italian civil war

Now it is a sprint race

An agent of chaos move by Antonelli, I respect trying the Alonso line in 3 but that was optimistic.

Wow thought Verstappen was gonna lose it on lap 1. Well done.

If it rains, his soft tire gamble will pay off big time.

F Ferrari

Ollie Scareman is beared of Bortoleto's flapping wing

would love a podium for Hadjar.

Kudos to Stroll on 9th position after crashing in practise and qualif.

Godot...waiting for the rain

Good opportunity for Antonelli. Team game on Mercedes. Hadjar is bloody solid in his race

Damn Lewis!

Good guy Norris. checking on folks

Holy shit.

Oh my god Ferrari

Hamilton out

Is F1TV really insinuating that Stroll ran over debris on purpose 😅

No respect for Stroll, oof.

Bortoleto just didn't fancy accelerating at the start I guess - but I wish I'd seen Albon's overtakes!

Ferrari done for the day and it hasn't even started properly raining.

Bortolelo noted for driving in an unsafe condition.

.. if it was unsafe, why not show the black and orange flag to him?

Mclaren will use a druid next time to get rain prediction :)

Haas' up to P9 and P13. They do crap during qualifying but somehow always manage to jump a bunch of places during the race.

Verstappen onto mediums?! I like a bold choice but that seems risky on a track you can't overtake on. Or is he going to the end on those?

wow Norris good move on Verstappen
