About the floor damage from hitting the bollard conversation in the comments, Red Bull has released a statement: saying there was floor damage to Verstappen’s Car from hitting the bollard. While Max has been saying he didn’t felt any difference in pace....
There has been some confusion about the floor damage, apparently even max was confused by Red Bull saying that there was floor damage as he didn’t felt much difference in the car.
Furthermore, Verstappen gave a quote in the Red Bull press release later in the evening clarifying how clear the damage was.
“When we took the car back to the garage, we also found that the floor was damaged and had a hole in which could have been picked up from hitting the cone,” he remarked.
I wasn’t going to watch this one, thought it was going to be a snoozefest with a Max win. I am happy that I watched the race.
Congratulations to Norris on his first win, first of many I hope. Piastri was a bit unlucky in the last stint, otherwise he could have been on the podium.
Lando barely managed to keep the lead and then, little by little took off… in 20 laps he accumulated a 7+ second lead.
Lando pitted under the safety car and had fresh tyre on and due to a mistake none of the other cars were allowed that luxury(pitting under a safety car window).
Norris and Max talk about it, in this clip: youtu.be/Nq82CB-zOto
In case that clip gets copyrighted The reporter asked Norris: Would he have been able to win without a cheap pitstop and fresher rubber.
Norris replied: It would have been difficult, because then he would have to keep Max, Leclerc and Oscar(all on fresh tyres) behind.
at no point did it seem Max was able to shorten that lead
Max hit the bollard at turn 15 and picked up some damage( I think), also he had issues with grip especially on the hard tyre. Max talks about the grip issue in the post race interview.
I know some rules which make no sense to me, like getting both DRS and Blue flag when lapping cars (IMO, it should only be DRS)
In my opinion, if you remove blue flags for the leader, then you’re just asking for this to happen time and again. No one wants to get lapped and these kind of moves will be made.
IMO, being in the lead should be either same or actually a bit harder than not
I disagree with you. My understanding of Formula 1 is that it pays (literally the prize money) to be the leader and rest of them want it they have to either catch up or concede. Either its design and development, aero, engine or upgrades, whichever team gets it done first and fast should win and get the money.
