Not sure it was a stitch up, Lando needed a different strategy as he wasn’t going to get close on 2 stops … Oscar should have still won and basically had 5 laps to overtake him once he caught up.

Ferrari LOL … they could be the only cars on the track and still not win with their comical strategies. Poor Charles, it was probably the angriest I’ve heard him on radio and he took it out on George in the track :lol:

The Red Bulls are going backwards fast, they may not even compete for podiums next year they way they’re heading.

Hopefully the new regs shake things up next year. If anything, it will reset where teams are so there could be some surprises on the grid.
They pitted Oscar too early the first stop.
Once again Lando botched the start and had to get bailed out by his team

Patience grasshopper, Oscar will be the champ this year … Lando doesn’t have the patience, nor temperament and isn’t as fast as Oscar all things being equal. Yes, he can put in a few fast laps, but he doesn’t have the coolness and smarts that Oscar has.

Just ignore the Pommy bias in the team and the telecast. It’s quite comical, if Lando has a brain fart then they cross over to George, and if all else fails, the fallback is Lewis, who these days is usually scratching around the back of the points of the top 10. :lol:

To be fair, the Ferrari engineering geniuses would drive any sane person crazy :lol: I said the Lewis move to The Scuderia would be a disaster … all it’s done is give the team a merch kick for a while, whilst faarking up Carlos who is a far better driver than Lewis now and didn’t deserve to be dumped.
Dunno, I’m just an idiot.

Really enjoyed last nights race not just for Oscar absolutely flogging them either although Lando’s Merc letting go with a few laps remaining was nice karma.
The banked track and a few early spots of rain led to several restarts and both Ferrari’s crashed out quite comically.

Quite the chaotic race … all behind Oscar who jut ignored it all by being out in front.

Verstappen also had an incident free run to come in 2nd, and the next best driver in the 2 RB teams, Hadjar, got his maiden podium.

Hamilton gets a kick in the nuts for Monza, a carried over 5 place grid penalty, while Lecelerc just chills out on the hill :lol:
