They do love giving Norris the undercut.

Ferrari did Leclerc pretty dirty today. Already been undercut and they pulled him in early anyways...

Ferrari getting a strategy wrong? Come on.

Seriously they are like the Broncos of the last ten years.

Pieman undercut again, he was going quicker than Norris anyway. The end of this will be interesting as the Red Bulls will have mediums.

Pieman pits.

Leclerc and Sainz will one stop and hope Sainz can interfere enough with Pieman to let Leclerc win it.

Pieman has got to make up 10 seconds in 6 laps. Bold by Ferrari but imagine if they had not pit for no reason so early.

This is a great race.

That lead not coming down fast enough but those Ferrari tyres are shot.

This one is going to sting Oscar and McLaren so bad.

Man…preferencing Norris has cost them victory again.

I can understand it slightly because Norris is a legitimate championship chance, but he is forfeiting the chance to be the true lead driver with his poor starts, which leaves McLaren giving him every chance to regain his lost positions.

Frustrating.

At some point they need to back Oscar in one of these races if he is starting so much better than Lando

Fair play to Rari in the end though. They had pretty good pace in good chunks of the weekend and getting those tyres to the end was a fair effort.

For sure and if they had actually pitted a few laps later like they should have, it would have actually been a comfortable win in the end. This one really stings though. That’s two wins Oscar has now lost due to pit stops. Shows how good a driver he is though.

@Sproj where does this Pieman business come from? Is this like you trying to nickname Mariner Aquaman?

Broncos might be shit but our boy Oscar gives us hope for 2024, just need to Alpha dog Norris a few more times and be the number one driver, Redbull is shot for the season even Oscar has a chance for the title if he makes the most of it imo.

This is hillarious.

This is hillarious.

good to see Bearman getting another drive, Kmag has been a menace for years even though this pen was nothing he needed a wakeup call.

I'll say as someone who has watched F1 religiously since the late 90s, Webber and Ricciardo at there best were good(Webber especially should have won 2010 if not for his Korea mistake), even WDC good given the right conditions, Piastri is Verstappen level in a year or two, the kid is going to win more titles than Brabham I will say it now he is our best ever.

Clinical driving style like Prost he will just surge in all areas every year he is just soo consistent and that was his theme in the lower formula too, he might be beaten by Norris constantly in qual but the gap is a bees dick each time and Norris is in his 6th season it will come to Oscar.

Was watching him in Formula Renault and knew he would make F1 then, shame he couldn't get his racing license sorted back then and had to run under a brit license, it was weird seeing their anthem when he won back then lol.
