Feels like every race we get a safety car in the last 5 laps.

It's certainly true that results are more heavily influenced by regulations than in previous years.

That's a bit depressing.

Ricciardo has basically done everything he possibly could to mess up this race today

 

[Ax^]

boo at it ending like this

Race over

So, Max benefits from a shonky race-direction decision.

Quel surprise!

Looks like they didn't learn anything from 2014 Japan Jules Binachi’s fatal crash, for sure it should have been Red Flagged, machinery on track

Great result for young Nyck De Vries and driver of the day

Well, exactly.

Is that booing I'm hearing\?

Quite fucking right.

And Driver Of The Day!

 

[Ax^]

best podium of the year

lets fuck that up by finishing behind the safety car :/

Great stuff from the Rookie

Williams should should get De Vries to replace Latifi for the remaining races.

I thought they changed the rules after the Jules Binachi’s fatal crash to make it compulsory for a red flag if there was machinery on track

 

[Buddy Bradley]

Much more interesting and exciting race (last 5 laps notwithstanding) than the last 2-3 weekends have been. Looking forward to a couple of weekends off now though before Singapore.

aye thought that was the rule myself
imagine Karen Horner might of been whining to someone

Another real-time decision that ignored the rules. At least, this time, there wasn't an intervention from Red Bull begging the race director to fix it.

The Tifosi look... sombre.

Oh dear, booing the winner.

 

[1%er]

massive boos for Max

 

[Limejuice]

And they have to cut to a behind shot to see the winner through the red haze.

How fitting considering the usual support for Max.

 

[Limejuice]

I'm not one for conspiracy theories, but the World Feed Telly folk seemed to be underplaying the Red bull / Max podium celebrations.

FOM (Liberty Media) control that feed and don't like booing

Gotta say, Naomi Schiff is proving to be an excellent presenter.

Better than many of the other Sky chaps...

Having a quick look through the sporting regulations it appears that they didn't change the rule about equipment on track being a red flag

It was a recommendation from the inquiry but was never adopted, it seems.

Yes she has got a lot of stick from people who claim Sky only employed her to tick some boxes, but I think she brings a lot to the show

Well, exactly. Just because she might 'tick some boxes' it doesn't necessarily mean she can't be good as well.

And she is.

No Russia so we have to wait until 2nd October for Singapore, so see you guys then.

We are off to the bar to pay another fucking bill LOL

 

[Epico]

My SIL and her other half live in Singapore & have tickets for the race. Extremely jealous.

 

[dessiato]

That was so disappointing. Ferrari were robbed of the chance of a win.

 

[Ax^]

Well it was not motor racing

but sticking to the rule book was promising if a late admission of guilt

Poor Alex but sounds like he's on the mend.

Alex Albon treated in intensive care after respiratory failure

Alex Albon was put on a ventilator after suffering complications following appendix surgery, say Williams.

www.bbc.co.uk

Williams driver Alex Albon suffered respiratory failure and was treated in intensive care following appendix surgery at the weekend.

The 26-year-old had an operation on Saturday but suffered "post-operative anaesthetic complications" and was put on a ventilator.
Thai Albon came off the ventilator on Sunday morning and is now back on a general ward in Monza, Italy.

Williams say he should return home on Tuesday.
