      "we found out what it was, his power unit expired, we were going to replace that before the next race anyway."

      This would be so much better if he had said "we found out what it was, his engine died".

      A "power unit" has no place in a formula one car....

        @Giles haha. he all but did, yet they dance around the problem and say "we think we identified the problem". There it is: its your fucking blown engine.
        I'm cool with turbos, but they need to ditch these hybrid systems and bring back higher cylinder counts that scream.

          The Power Unit includes all the electric crap too. So it could just be that a battery had died. And yes, I'm 100% with you and your second sentence.

              That was a good show. Psyched for Ham and Ferrari getting it together with the strategy, despite Chuck having the worst luck this season. Speaking of bad luck, I think Kimi takes the cake. Another 7 DNFs, shows these power units are garbage.

                I’m not saying George did the wrong thing but he got incredibly lucky with horrible stewardship

                    Great race for Leclerc! I don’t know what Ferrari were thinking bringing in Hamilton. 4 laps to go under safety car and they think he is gonna get around Russell? Ugh.

                    Turned out to be a fun and interesting race

                        Yeah. Have we got an "explanation" yet? Last lap was shaping up to be so good......

                            Bro, wtf was that with the Ferrari penalties?! They proper fucked Lewis and Charles got off free with a much bolder offense. F'real, Oscar should've backed out. IMO, neither should have gotten a penalty, That was super unbalanced and inconsistent.

                            Kimi is a monster, but at the same time, he's gotten incredible lucky with his particular Merc....which seems to be working pretty consistently only for him.
