Has anyone seen the actual incident?

No, comms were down. Apprently Ocon didn't see Perez either

Bwahhaaaaaa....

We’ve been calling him ‘Ma-se-spin’ lol. Sounds almost exactly like that anyway. Poor guy lol.

Hope MS wipes the floor with him again this weekend.

[MORNE]

Camt really wipe the floor woth him if he didnt race

Hes been consistently faster in all the sessions since the start. Mentally he’s wiping the floor with him already, not to mention MS can at least keep it pointing in the right direction for longer than 3 corners up to now lol.

I wonder how the original MSC is doing.

 

I hope he able to know (firstly) and appreciate the youngster cracking the big league.

Well done Perez. I'm sure we'll hear about some mystery mechanical issue he carried that meant Max was actually 2s faster.

So Max is out qualified for the first time since Danny Ric did so. Hopefully Perez can jump Hamilton on the start straight with the soft tyres and do a Perez style tyre whisper job, assuming no rain at the start of course. Wouldn't mind a lucky safety car to play into Checo's hands, really want an unexpected winner for a change.

Great start and drive Max. Great recovery from Lewis. F1 is alive again.

Bugger. Stuck in Prince Albert. Guess I'll have to watch the highlights when I get home.

No. Watch the full rerun tomorrow at 6pm. It's worth it.

What a race, most impressive on the day were the 2 Ferraris. Besides Carlos setting up his brake bias and doing some rally stints, they were really consistent. 

 

Russel trying to get into Bottas seat a little too quick, Bottas probably in last season in F1. Fighting a Williams while team mate fighting for podium... 

 

Mclaren not wasting time and putting the team first and getting Dan to move over for Lando.

 

Mazepin did finish the race, although did get a spin in.

 

Perez pulling an Albon.

 

Max almost losing it on the restart, Lando questioning why Charles did not pass him.

 

All in all, amazing GP.

Thoroughly enjoyed that race. Why can't we have rain every race?

Max was sublime. He started in 2nd gear and everyone else in 1st, what a bunch of amateurs..........

Once again Lewis was seriously lucky with the red flag. He would never have finished 2nd. I was shouting at him to beach the car. The one time I support the d00$ he doesn't do as I ask.

Norris was super strong, so glad for McLaren.

Ferrari are looking much better than last year, YAY!!!

Valteri and George-That was a serious impact. Not sure who to blame. Racing incident?

LOL ja that was close. I am sure that got his HR up just a tad. Mick also got caught out warming the tyres up.

[Eugene Oppelt]

Closest top 8 quali' since 2012 or something. Just add water. Awesome racing. Drama over Bottas' cockpit. Much needed balm for the sport.

 

Max represents the new generation of racer as Hamilton with his extraordinary race records are slowly entering the twilight of his career.

Anyone else see Renault Clio Cup offer GR and Bottas a free round at Monza in the Clio Cup?! Great tweet!

Norris deservedly driver of the day, what a drive! He had 3s on Danny Ric after the first lap he let him through. LeClerc couldn't touch him, even though they had the supposed tyre life advantage later in the race being on the mediums. And he defended really well against Hamilton before getting passed, keeping in mind that Lewis had a big car/tyre advantage at that stage of the race. I didn't think Lando would be this much faster than Danny and in fact backed Danny to be on top of this battle even early on, but am glad to be wrong as it's lekker to see his talent coming to the fore. It's still early days and Danny needs to get to grips with the car, but Lando is also improving all the time, so I'm not sure Danny will come out on top of this one. Also, Lando has a lekker competitive and decisive mindset if you listen to his onboard radios and interviews.

Lando is also very, what's the best wording, aggressive/competitive with Max Verstappen. When asked about Max spin before the restart, he said Charles was soft and should have taken the place from Max and why did he wait. 

 

(Charles on the other hand had no team radio and thought that it was a normal restart not rolling one and when saw Max disappear and Lando come past he knew something was up)
