    Haha... Love the whinge from GP there if Kimi did just let Norris through

    F**k off Red Bull - Although if it was deliberate from Kimi to move aside, why didnt he do it sooner, so Norris could go and challenge Sainz?
    Honestly wonder why the FIA don't pull him up on some of these radio messages??? To basically accuse Kimi of letting Lando through is a ridiculous accusation. 

    Toto should be down there for words.

    I really hope that Verstappen is leading next week, with the title in the bag, and an SC incident screws it up for him - Karma for 2021 is long overdue, and would love to see Red Bull's true colours cope with it.

    Championship standings:
    1. Norris - 408
    2. Verstappen  - 396 
    3. Piastri - 392

    So if Verstappen wins in AD, then 3rd will be enough for Norris.
    If Piastri wins then 4th is enough.

    I wonder if he wins it if he retires? If there's doubts from his side about the new regs " not being fun" and the new PU isn't there....

    Just seen the mistake from Antonelli, its a clear driver error, and is something a few drivers did throughout the race; Kimi did well just to keep it in the right direction - We know Toto wont say anything as he's desperate to hire Max

    Mclaren handed that win to Verstappen. Crazy deicison not to pit when everyone else did.

    It’s where having 2 potential title winners doesn’t help. The logical thing to do was pit one of them and split the strategy but then they’d be accused of favouritism

    If Piastri wins then 5th would be enough.

    Not a chance.
    He wants the most titles. No way he’s retiring anytime soon. Constructor dominance goes in phases, so he might need to change team, but he wants to be the undisputed best.

    And as much as it sticks in my craw, he’s building a decent case already. He is peerless.

    Also, as an aside, I’ve noticed recently, particularly in post race interviews, that he’s far more engaging and pleasant than previously. He seems to have developed a sense of humour and he’s also far more engaged in chatting with his fellow racers in what seem like friendly exchanges. It makes me wonder if this is a conscious PR effort? Or is it just that the pressure is somewhat off as he’s been so far back in the title race for so long? Or maybe he’s just a bit more mature and chill?
    I don’t know, but although I wouldn’t go so far as to say I’m warming to him, he does come across as much less of a petulant, spoilt, entitled prick than he has in the past.

    Why was there a mandatory tyre change at 25 laps?  Never seen that before. Looked dangerous at one point with all the drivers coming in at the same time.

    Qatar absolutely destroys the tyres being a track made for MotoGP and after a spate of failures in the past 2 races there Pirelli asked for maximum stint lengths to be brought in

    Marko making these claims when we have seen the farcical stuff going on with the Racing Bulls over the years is fucking ridiculous

    Crazy to even think it, let alone say it.
