Also if McLaren think they are genuine driver's title contenders they should have swapped this around. No way Red Bull would be letting Perez stay ahead in same scenario.

There's that percent again. Rubbish traction out of the hairpin and probably the wrong line into the proceeding corner. Piastri got in the way of a race but McLaren have probably done the right thing for the sake of a point. He earned the position and he may be a more useful rear gunner down the road with motivation still high.

Piastri blaming the circuit for him exceeding track limits is quite amusing.
I do some what take his point. It's a shame budget ran out to do that corner seeing as the changes appear to have done wonders for the last two corners. Clearly a solution that works.

Hope Russell doesn't get in the way again. Quite worried about him spoiling the Lando/Max fight from the clean side of the grid.
Suspect this may ultimately be a fairly routine win for Max but if Lando can stay P2 throughout the opening stint at least there should be a more protracted strategy battle rather than Max just building that undercut safety margin straight away before turning it down for a cruise and collect.

Just hearing DRS worth 0.7 a lap so even more key to stay close.

Oh well. At least it's a good race for P3.

Dodgy defense from Verstappen as per. Is it 2021?

Even if Lando gets past, he'll be defenceless against that Red Bull down to T3.

Race control have to take some of the blame for that.

Standard Max really. Turns into a PlayStation driver when it comes to battling for the win.

Well looks like Max hasn't matured then. Soon as he's actually had someone racing him closely he's crashed into them and blamed them.
Norris even called it. Textbook dangerous defending.

Dirty cunt. He's been so far ahead since 2022 that we'd almost forgotten what a cheat he is.

Takes his only title rival out of the race and gets a pointless 10 second penalty. Good stuff

Then driving Norris off the road with a damaged car was really really bad.

Despite all that he is still 23 seconds ahead of Perez.

And there was me thinking this would be a dull one.
Shame the VSC at the end stopped an exciting finish.

On the plus side that was great from Norris for the future.
Just plain outraced Max with a seemingly slower car to the point that Max got desperate. Basically made Max panic after that slow pitstop gave him a chance.
If Max had just let him though, he'd probably have DRS'd back past pretty easily and still won.

A 10 second penalty for driving like that is pretty bloody insignificant, get the black flag out.
