Fuckkkk. I've seen the crash. It reminded me a lot of Anthoine Hubert's crash. So sad.

Wondering why they were driving in such conditions? Especially after the non-event in Spa in 2021.

Max is now 84 points clear off Mercedes in the Constructors Championship.

More stories of Norris to RB. Can anyone really see him leaving to join McLaren?

[Panflute]

Eventually maybe but it entirely depends on McLaren's trajectory for the next 2 years, and their chances for the 2026 rule change.

Also I haven't really seen anything substantial indicating Lando is to join RB other than a few figureheads saying 'wouldn't it be cool if' and the usual hacks turning it into clickbait.

It was the same shit with the Hamilton to Ferrari rumors a few months ago, which were frankly ridiculous.

Massa is a moron and deserves to get slammed in this case.   The incident was around lap 12 or 13 but it was a Ferrari error that led to a costly stop and go penalty, and with a long race he never made his way through the field.   Alonso pitted twice in two laps and was not inheriting a win, this wasnt like a lap 59 of 61 Nicholas Latifi moment.

Massa finished 13th with 47 odd laps to race and having the fastest car.  

how little self respect must you have to try buy a championship in a race where there were so many laps for things to work for or against you in this case Ferrari fucked up, a precursor to the next 15 years.

This is where we are now. Don't even have a thread for the race .

Maybe we've found a secret curse because the first time we've not had a race thread looks like the first time Red Bull won't win.

[Tommy]

Live Quali or Race chats just work better on discord.

I've probably missed around 5 races in a row now. Zzz.

[MUFC]

Seen as we don't have a thread for this weekend.

60% chance of rain?

[MUFC]

No penalties for Max?

[Stan]

Could be an entertaining finish to the race.

Less than 3s separate top 4.

[MUFC]

With 6 laps left Lewis was quicker than George and had more grip.

Devastating for Russell, that  

Tyres worn out? Or pushed too hard? Sainz expertly held on, as did Norris.

Gutted as I had Hamilton 4th in the prediction league. 

[Tommy]

Very impressed by Carlos Sainz once again. Some very intelligent driving, like giving Lando DRS on purpose so he can fight against Russell and give him some breathing room. Such a smart driver.
