Very interesting sprint race. Battles everywhere you look.
VER comfortably ahead after an early scare, PER scraping through into 2nd.
RUS and HUL making good strategy calls salvaged their races for them.
LEC a touch unlucky in the pits messed up his attack. Getting tangled up with OCO didn’t help. SAI looked rock solid but unimaginative, just held on for dear life and drove to a podium.
STR really should have given ALO that place, every point counts if anyone is going to have even an outside chance of attacking VER for the championship.
OCO being his usual bullheaded self made him 7th, RUS raced him to the line and was 9 thousandths of a second behind.
Very entertaining. 8/10.
I’m very curious still, where HUL would have landed if he hadn’t pitted though. I think maybe he should have stayed out.
Tricky call right? I think he would have dropped like a stone if he did not pit. He started struggling around lap 11 I think.
Very! I think you’re most likely correct though, the Haas is hard on its tires.
if anyone is going to have even an outside chance of attacking VER for the championship.
Verstappen is casually pulling a pit stop gap on people during a sprint. I don’t think anybody has an outside chance for the championship
Who knows? A pack of lemurs might kidnap him before the end of the season. Got to keep fighting eh?
Alonso is not fighting Verstappen, but he is fighting Perez.
ALO could be fighting VER if RUS has anything to say about it. 😛😛😛
But seriously the summer break might bring positive changes for the other teams so staying in the fight is important.
Would argue that STR needs his points too. ALO has no hope of beating VER this year.
STR is in no danger of losing his seat as long as Daddy Warbucks owns the team. We don’t know what will happen after the summer break so erring on the side of caution and giving ALO more points would have been more strategic.
Battle between the bulls for the first few corners was genuinely entertaining. Perez running Verstappen wide defensively was interesting to see. Also good move by Perez into turn one to establish his lead.
As a viewer, Verstappen failing to turn at any point into T3 felt a bit ludicrous. I didn’t get to see an onboard of his hands on the wheel. Would have liked that.
I wish RB had a young guy trying to make his name rather than Perez. There would have been more sparks into T3 if so.
Then we could have seen a REALLY interesting battle for the sprint win.
Not upset about any of it. Fun sprint to watch.
Maybe we will see more sparks between the Bulls next year. 😉😉😉
Good sprint indeed. Hulkenberg, unlike most pitting, really risked losing a few important points – in the end he almost hauled back both Alonso and Stroll. Don’t think that 1 point for Alonso would improve his chances towards attacking Verstappen, but Perez is still in sight for him.
@Dubbeltje @hrpanjwani another lap, Hulkmeiser would of had Alonso and Stroll on inters
Oh ya. If HUL had pitted a lap earlier he would have recovered ahead of the AM’s. Then STR prediction about infighting costing them points would have come true.
Actually a very enjoyable sprint! I still prefer regular race weekends, but the last minute pitstops were an exciting mixup. George seems pretty good with his strategy, too bad he couldn’t find an extra tenth at the end. Oh and poor Lando losing so many positions in one corner lap 1. I hope he gets a podium this year.
We just need to do the rain dance on the Sprint weekends and it will be good. 😉😇😉😇😉😇
Lol truth
