    Did they really just wait with the VSC until Norris took 1st place?

    Wow, and they ended it in the last lap, this is fucking ridiculous.

        It feels very manipulated, I’m not sure what changed when it was yellow flag for like 3 laps and then they change to VSC seconds after Norris overtakes. It’s not even about the points, it just took out all the action.

          While I do not condone any suggestions of it being manipulated, there has to be question why Nico was put under risk for 2 laps. Very poor by race control considering how much safety takes the centre stage these days

            And a VSC infringement for Max on top. I don’t even know how this could be more obviously manipulated lmao

      Formula 1 is loosing its credits in my book. Another shitshow with Herbert in the steward’s office.

    That late VSC is super sus. Hulk’s car was pretty close to the track and that’s a genuine safety concern.

    Verstappen was under investigation for a VSC infringement. Keeping an eye out for that.

      Other than that, plenty of good clean racing in the sprint. Top 4 were glued to each other.

      The top 4 were like not even 2 seconds apart, including the WDC and WCC competitors, of course they’re gonna focus on that instead of the last point lol

    The team orders just seem a bit desperate. Lando is only mathematically in the driver’s championship, just let the races play out.
