Poor Sargeant. He gets a lot of shit, but that's gotta suck being sick out there, as hot and humid as it is. Yeah, nothing wrong with retiring if he really can't handle it anymore.
23 0 ReplyAccording to Dutch commentators he doesn't like to drink during racing. Could very well be the cause?
(I don't know if he was sick from the start)
4 0 ReplyF1TV commentators mentioned that he actually was sick over the whole weekend, but the team kept it quiet.
3 0 Reply
I was really worried he was going to crash the way he sounded. Absolutely right decision to retire and the team sounded really supportive.
What a shitty situation to be in really....

Hopefully, Logan is okay.
I can't imagine being sick while driving a bloody f1 car. Sounds horrifying honestly
16 0 ReplySolid stuff by Norris. From 10th to 3rd is quite the feat.
16 0 ReplyWhat a shitshow of a circuit. Too bad petrodollars speak higher than anything else
16 0 ReplyI know. And we have this for 9 more years. Yay.
5 0 ReplyI agree, but apparently it's fun to drive

1.8s pitstop by McLaren, damn
15 0 ReplyPerez lapped by his teammate.
12 0 ReplyAnother 5s for Perez lmao
12 0 ReplyMaybe he's trying to challenge Ocon's penalty record

Hey Lance, please let Fernando through. You're slow as fuck. Thank youu
11 0 ReplyI still can't wrap my head around McLaren's turnaround mid season. If you only count the second half of the season, they would be well in the fight for the constructors championship.
10 0 ReplySainz might be out with a fuel leak according to Albert Fabrega
10 0 ReplyFerrari should just put him in the pit wall to call strategy for Charles. Maybe the strategists would learn something.
11 0 ReplyF1TV says he will not take part.

I am jealous, can I also get a five seconds penalty?

Poor Logan, I hope it's nothing serious
9 0 ReplyI think these forced tyre changes have ruined this races potential
8 0 ReplyThey need to change those curbs for next year. It's unacceptable to have curbs that cut the tires and force these kinds of restrictions.

Perez grabbing a 5s penalty after he finally made his way to the front... Fuck's sake, Checo.
7 0 Replyaaaand again... while he's 11th...

Merc imploding spectacularly. I doubt Lewis is gonna like that.
7 0 Replywell who can he blame?
6 0 ReplyAfter he sees the replays, he'll blame himself, I'm sure. He is not stupid.
I do wonder, though, what teamLH will say about it. Something insane as usual I presume

The max stint of 18 laps should throw in some chaos.
6 0 Replythat graphic showing how many laps on the current stint is going to work overtime today
3 0 ReplyIf this leads to an exciting, chaotic race, watch the FIA implement pre-degraded tires and lap limits starting in 2026.

How are people blaming russell. He would have had to disappear to prevent contact
6 0 ReplyI don't think this race warms Marko to Perez.
6 0 ReplyIf you get lapped by your teammate and are behind an Alfa Romeo, with a new engine, there's not a lot to be happy about.
Edit: behind 2 Alfa Romeo's. At this point they might as well put Ricciardo in the car when he returns so he can get used to it and let Lawson stay in the Alpha Tauri.

Fernando has to pee in his own seat this time.
6 0 ReplyTsunoda was all like: Either I'm making this move or I'm fucking dying, take your pick Albon
6 0 ReplyOh jesus... I just realised Max is already 23 seconds ahead while we're halfway the race.
Feels like a summary of this season.
5 0 ReplyThe cameraman filming Verstappens pitstop felt fancy with that camera toss.
5 0 ReplyWish Nico is the interviewer today
5 0 ReplyCrikey
5 0 ReplyOSAMA BIN RUSSELL DOES IT AGAIN
Edit:
Yeah nevermind, no clue what was Hamilton thinking. He was never making that move
5 0 ReplyClassic Merc
4 0 ReplyAlonso noooooo
Just glad he didn't beach it.
4 0 ReplyHas Verstappen been out of the track limits this race? Earlier F1TV commentary said he was the only one who remained within the lines.
4 0 ReplyI don't think he was ever under enough pressure to make a mistake like that.
6 0 ReplyDoesnโt need to. That man in that car is a combination that approaches divinity.

Poor nico
3 0 Reply"He turned in on me!" In 3... 2... 1...
3 0 ReplyHamilton out
3 0 ReplyAhh, good ol' Hamilton. Taken out by his teammate.
3 0 ReplyAnother 5s penalty for Perez ๐ซ
3 0 ReplyCheeky Lando. I would say just let them fight.
3 0 ReplyI bet they were lookig forward to cooking down with the bubbly, what a let down.
3 0 ReplyHow is Perez behind Russell after all that?
2 0 ReplyGreat jump for Piastri though. Up 4 places into 2nd.
2 0 ReplyGeorgy keep your head down and drive
2 0 ReplyThe mandatory tyre stops should be interesting.
Russell also making an excellent recovery.
2 0 ReplyAlbon P1: I ship it!
2 0 ReplyWe needed a red flag then.
2 0 ReplyBut he pitted one lap to late, didn't he?
1 0 ReplyDidn't he pit on 18 with brand new tyres?

More drama for Lewis..Crossing the track
2 0 ReplyWhat is Laura wearing on her back on F1TV? Is that like a mini fan or something? Or part of her audio pack? I don't think I've ever seen her wearing that before.
2 0 ReplyLooks like the audio pack.

The Mercedes kerfuffle did lead to a lot of overtaking actions on Russels side. A lot of overtakes in general anyway!
1 0 ReplyDoes the formation lap count for the tire lap limit?
1 0 ReplyI'm lovin it๐
1 0 ReplyIt doesn't make sense!
1 0 ReplySeems to become yesterday's podium with Piastri and Verstappen swapped.
