@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.

[Giles]

Not bad Lewis....

Three Brits on the podium aint too shabby either....

[WhiskeySandwich]

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

[Bridger]

This is amusing.

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

[louisbosco]

more interested in the safety car decision for the last lap. maFIA at it again..

[Giles]

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

[louisbosco]

2021 doesn't want a last lap, screws Hamilton

2026 doesn't get a last lap, screws Hamilton again..

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.

I always thought the primary issue with Lance Stroll was Lance Stroll

[Bridger]

Thanks @Tago-Mago. Now corrected.

[Giles]

Way more accurate
