Let’s go Oscar! Not sure how the McLaren is gonna hold up on race pace tbh, but hoping for a good result nonetheless.
Well…
I was not amused
Shall I push on and we do some pit stop training?
Is Max bored

GP and Max need to do couples therapy after this weekend

They’re bored.
A disagreement during qualifying where Max was mad at GP for only just making it into Q3. See https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/video.2023-belgian-gp-qualifying-verstappen-apologises-to-his-engineer-after-q2-radio-rant.1772684943518809937.html for the radio of the incident.
So GP told max that it wasnt smart to take so much out of the tire in the out lap and max decided to show him by just going 7 tenth per lap quicker than perez? lol
Piastri nooo
I need to see the replay but it didn’t look like his fault either.
Sainz locked up and then just didn’t have awareness and turned in on Piastri.
Just saw the replay and that’s definitely what happened. More of a racing incident, but you can’t put much blame on Piastri.
It was 100% on Sainz, but still probably a racing incident. Chaotic lap 1 stuff rarely gets punished (and shouldn’t).
Bernard was waving his green flag with such enthusiasm! Great that Crofty remembered him, that was quite wholesome.
It was great to see the sprint race post being quite lively yesterday compared to what I’ve seen previously around here.
Hope the pace keeps up and we get some good content here today.
Also, go Oscar! Been waiting sooo long to see my team back at the front.
Sprint races are pretty good for people that are not so much into F1, it was lively enough for my gf to be able to watch the entire 11 laps without being bored! It’s a different pleasure, less long term strategy and more track action! :)

It is absolutely annoying that they show me Verstappen exiting a car and show the grandstands when there is still racing going on.
The cooldown room audio is so much better now, and has been for the past 3 or 4 races. I’m glad they fixed that.
Gasly has to be the unluckiest driver of the season. What the hell Alpine? Can he get one clean weekend?
Max is just so good. I wonder if anyone could beat him right now even in equal machinery. I mean, Perez isn’t a generational talent, but he isn’t bad either. Max just casually pulling a 20s gap on him in the same car and tires is insane. And before that Max did the same with Albon and Gasly, who are also very respectable drivers.
