    Well that sucks. Boo. Don’t understand the rules. They were wrenching all over Ocon’s car.

    Why do I feel that Ferrari is going to screw this up somehow and Lew is going to win the BGP.

    Ferrari drivers keep lobbying on the radio to move the other guy out of the way. :D

    Nice to see the podium made up of the 2nd tier drivers of the 3 top teams;)

    Decent racing but it sure seems the Red Bull drivers take the most liberties with track limits and NASCAR style driving techniques. I was hoping Schumacher punted Max in the last set of turns. Until someone else races them like they race others it won’t stop

    Steeltoe What's my move?

    So, you're Zhou Wagyu, what are you thinking about whilst sliding on your head into and over the tire barrier?

    I'm glad Carlos didn't listen, Leclerc got murdered on those hards.

    Agreed. Ive never rooted for a driver to punt someone as hard as I was rooting on that last lap. Mick should have just held his line and let Max destroy his points lead.

    Also, LeClerc’s pass on the outside of Hammy was just magnificent.

    tiggen Things are lookin' up.

    Happy for Sainz, even though he ruined an otherwise perfect birthday.

    That was the most fun DRY race I can remember.

    The looks on the faces of the spectators behind the fence where Zhou's car flipped said dirty britches. These survivability of those cars is far more impressive than anything else I can imagine.

    As far as impacts go, this was a relatively minor one. It just looked spectacular because of all the flipping. The biggest concern to me was the airbox roll hoop basically grinding itself away. If by chance the fuel cell would have ruptured, and it ignited, it is doubtful Zhou would have survived. Just no way to access the car and get him out, due to how the tire barrier was set up against the fence. (and imagine if a fire started, with those tires there. They'd never have put it out.) I'm sure that will be looked at for the future.

    Look forward to them deciding that it flipped due to digging in to the gravel trap and they decide to replace them with something that will not be at all bike friendly, like the Jackie Stewart inspired catch fences.
