A P2 for Leclerc is huge given what Ferrari pace is.

Such a shame they can't have a normal podium celebration here, this would probably the happiest 3 drivers you'd ever see.

Plz rain next week for 2 10/10 races and set the bar impossibly high for all the other back to backs

Bottas did it Finnish way and took a big sip first anyways. Good stuff!

I'm so happy for Lando.
Too that both McLaren drivers have to celebrate their first podium in a weird way.

First thing I thought when he did that, I thought: "proper Finn".

Same here! Our commentator told technical expert to stop talking so he could see what Valtteri is going to do.

I don't think we need to have a full schedule next weekend.

I'd open the track just for qualifying.

Gutted for Albon. He's clearly fuming at that collision. Can't believe Lewis the same penalty for that as for Interlagos. He must be accumulating a lot of license points now

Yeah it's a bit of a piss take. Sky F1 pundits all saying "there's nothing more Hamilton could have done"... how about slow down?

Really sucks for Albon, as RBR #2 you've really got to be making the most of races Verstappen isn't in. Maybe would have all been for nothing with that mechanical problem, but still.

Binotto pretty much admitting they’re losing a lot on straights and don’t really know how and when it’s going to be fixed.

Well that’s their season over.

Thank God for all the safety cars today, really helped salvage an entertaining race. Next week ought to be a little cleaner racing as you could see a bit of rust in quite a few drivers today. What a shame for Albon after another solid afternoon, another deserved podium taken away.

Had Hamilton let Albon by he would had got the podium anyway

great racing, thankfuly stewards realized that calling SC is the best way to improve the show (as long it is reasonable)

Motorsports trend for 2024: everything is a bad taste joke now

One thing that stood out for me is that teams' hierarchy seems to have changed a bit. Now it seems to be:
- Top Tier: Mercedes and Red Bull
- High Middle: Racing Point, McLaren, Ferrari
- Low Middle: Renault and Alpha Tauri
- Bottom Pack: Haas, Alfa Romeo, Williams

Think Di Resta said "Lewis doesn't do stuff like that deliberately". Well it sure as fuck looked like a deliberate squeeze. Brazil was clumsy, this had intent to run Alex off the road

Cracker of a race. When I saw Bottas streak away at the start while Verstappen was lagging back (I know it was due to his less-grippier compound but still), I didn't have many high hopes but that was highly entertaining.

With Merc's gearbox issues, they're going to have to change them and that's a five place grid drop isn't it?

Well if it's only a sensor issue then they probably can change the sensors without any penalty, right?
