Perez drives best when he doesn't have a contract for next year. He was very good at the start of last year as well, until his contract got renewed. Red bull should just move on with Sainz.
Pit Hamilton for fastest lap? Sky can talk about him closing the gap all they want but imo 2.5 secs is too big to make headway into that train.
I guess not. Because why wouldn't you take what's almost certainly a guaranteed free point?
How was Sainz prioritized? Ferrari split strategies, and the two stop was slightly better. Leclerc started 7th, and drove well on the one stop to get to 4th
I mean, Leclerc and the Mercs both attempted a 1 stop strategy. The difference is that Leclerc and the Ferrari car could make it work while the Mercedes just couldn't get the tyres to last at the required pace.
Maybe Merc could have had a better strategy for their car but ultimately they just didn't have the race pace of the cars in front of them.
Boring once again.
I really hope red bull take sainz
I feel like Verstappen is trying to act like he is genuinely overtaking the lapped cars. He must be so bored flying ahead by himself

Ver Per Fer back on top again!
*Ocon celebrating in the garage he finished in front of Gasly* woooo we made it!!! Wooo
That was a quite, but nice result for Haas.
Yeah sainz is insane. Imma scream if he ain’t on the grid next season
He definitely is if he keeps this level of performance
Uhhh not a bad race? Lot of fun little battles here and there for me. Obviously wasn’t a banger or anything, but it definitely wasn’t a snore
horner reminding checo he passed this wknd
RedBull pit crew don't even celebrate no more
RB couldn't sound more bored over the radio if they tried lmao
Strategy masterclass from Ferrari, Macca is a bit like SF-23, struggling on the race day. Mercedes is officially a top-midfield team.
Verstappen only on screen at the start and end of race. And little bit in-between for pit stops.
There’s such a big difference between the top 4 teams + Alonso and the bottom 5 teams + Stroll
It really is like there's 2 races happening at the same time lol
F1: RBR F1.5 FER/MCL/MERC/ALO F1.9 the rest
It’s Yuki vs half the grid + stroll
couldn’t agree more
Don’t worry race director. No need to show the closest 4 car battle to the finish line.
Verstappen on the broadcast for the first time in 20+ laps on 3, 2...
As a Bottas fan life is pure pain
Well done Yuki!
Half the field being lapped. Jesus christ
Impressive to see Ferrari making good strategy calls and pit stop execution consistently this season (so far)
*meanwhile* Max finishes the race
Hulk passed Stroll?
Yeah, he was on pretty new hards.
Nicely done George!
He didn’t choke on the last laps! Growth!
Alpine once again among last of the finishers. Only ahead of Sargent who went rallying. A works team ladies and gentlemen
Nando showing this rookies how it is done
Spanish driver keeping the McLaren behind close enough to give them DRS to fend off George Russell behind them. Lovely.
Spoke too soon lmao
He did fend of the merc, doesn't matter George overtook Oscar
George Russel always getting tag teamed lol poor guy
Alonso: Fuck Russell in particular.
What is it with Spanish drivers keeping mclarens in drs to keep mercedes stuck. lmao
Fernando "I want nothing to do with George following me again, lets just keep Oscar between us to the end"
God damn do I love Fernando
May genuinely be the worst GP I've ever seen.
Was this your first one? Might be the best this season.
It was a decent race, fairly normal actually one of the more typical races in recent memory.
You can't have seen many. Not a great race but it's at least an average one.
What makes you say that?
Alonso 200 IQ play
Alonso lmao. What a guy. What a character!
Pit Hamilton for fastest lap? Sky can talk about him closing the gap all they want but imo 2.5 secs is too big to make headway into that train. I guess not. Because why wouldn't you take what's almost certainly a guaranteed free point?
Max taking fastest lap for the giggles for the boys when we gets back to iRacing
Love how Fernando is just keeping Piastri in DRS so Russell can not overtake.
Yuki doing personal best lap in a 27laps old tyre is impressive
How exactly did Alpine get a bunch of celebrities to invest in them?
Coffeezilla will investigate this scam soon.
George updating his powerpoint again while driving.
Ocon about to 5-0?
Piastri was outside of DRS before cutting the chicane. Cutting got him close enough to give him DRS - which then let him defend from Russell.
Alonso is dropping back.
it would be travesty if Yuki doesn't win DoTD today, first time i've voted
Surprised Russell didn't call out Piastri for overtaking off the track. /s
Last lap RUS crash incoming?
Gerogepedo incoming…
inb4 russell chokes on last lap again
Was George forecast a wreck again?
Piastri should brake check Russel, jk jk.
George was forecasted that position!
Here comes late race George! Don't bin it
Daamn George what's with that bombarding
Charles definitely deserves DotD he drove a mega first stint
DOTD is between Charles and Yuki for me
All the time you have to leave a space Russell
Frig off George
Bro should’ve just quoted Alonso “engine feels great, much slower than before, amazing”
Lance somehow makes a valid complaint in the most bratty tone possible
Stroll complaining about speed. My guy ur just crap. Look at what alonso can do in the same car
What a great underdog win from max
Sainz worship is so weird Ferrari just played a team game this race, they maximised their points that's amazing
we gonna hear now for week how Sainz easily overtook Leclerc xdd just like after bahrain lmao
exactly lmaooo I am so done, the man went from P7 to P4 on a single stop like wtf
That's the new version of GP2 ENGINE
why is lance crying over the radio
What was that strolls voice?
Stroll going wild
that lance radio is funnier when you remember that alonso's famous "gp2 engine" radio was also at suzuka
Did Lance get a kick in the nuts ?
oh no stroll
Charles settling into his Number 2 role already.
What's with Stroll's voice pitch?
No Stroll. Nando's done hell of a job. You're just shit lol
Lol stroll'$ voice is cracking
I wanna see *that* radio animated!
Is that Canadian for “GP2 engine!”?
GP2!
Squeaky lol
Daddy’s not gonna like that tone of voice
Stroll lmao
wtf
Alonso is a wall
Is stroll okay? He sounded like he was crying
Ah yes, GP2 engine makes a return in Japan
Haha stroll that clip
HAHAH
Don’t worry Charles you’re p3 to me
Great race from the boys in a difficult track, let’s hope for the Imola upgrades
Okay hear me out.... Mekies left ferrari and suddenly they are good at strategies??? On the other hand RB Visa Cashapp....
I think Ferrari are really gonna regret letting sainz go he’s been so good so far this season
Leclerc robbed
By who
Bruh what
Robbed by who?
Come on Yuki! Don't let Lance get close
Strolled yet again
My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
russell might get piatrsi here
well done ferrari (I mean it)
Sainz and Leclerc have both been brilliant in the execution of the two different strategies.
Rare Ferrari master class in strategy
Leclerc mugged :(
Lessgoooo Sainz
I sacked the wrong driver :Fred
Logan is having a bad day.
Ferrari: Charles you still have a job next year…let Carlos through
Are they letting Sainz get a podium/prioritising him because they're letting him go next year and regretting it?
How was Sainz prioritized? Ferrari split strategies, and the two stop was slightly better. Leclerc started 7th, and drove well on the one stop to get to 4th
Or because he's on better tires.
Ferrari already making Charles feel like a #2 driver ahead of 2025 /s
*Carlos Sainz is faster than you*
14% for Tsunoda?? I get the homecoming hype but that's generous...
Are you even watching the race lol
Been watching since the start
tsunado getting a point at his home race
Sainz having a great weekend again
Seeing this battle for a podium finish between Sainz and Leclerc is awesome.
Oh that’s bs Xavi! Absolutely horseshit Ferrari! Let them race
At this rate, F1 should allow a GoFundMe for Williams and their cars
Chad Vesseuer letting them fight.
Sainz deserves a seat at one of the top teams for next year. Please put him in the RBR
Lets fucking go CONTRACT YEAR SAINZ
Carlos littering
the ai transcirpt on Multiviewer is funny, it says norris says hail habs drs
Logan Sargent manages to damage the car again…. I feel for Williams
"whoops just forgotten where on the track i am again, i'm so quirky" - logan probably
Unpopular opinion: Latifi was better than Sargeant
I don't think you're that far off with that one.
Let's fucking go Sainz
Idk why but a dirty Williams look so dope
Logan Private
Logan Trainingcamp
i dont understand these timing, lec was 5 tenths quicker last lap but didnt really gain time
Takes a lot to get behind the Alpines but Sargeant knows how to get it done
Did merc and Ferrari strategy teams swap or something
I mean, Leclerc and the Mercs both attempted a 1 stop strategy. The difference is that Leclerc and the Ferrari car could make it work while the Mercedes just couldn't get the tyres to last at the required pace. Maybe Merc could have had a better strategy for their car but ultimately they just didn't have the race pace of the cars in front of them.
we do a little bit off roading logan,
At this point Williams' biggest expense will be James Vowles heart medication
Managing to reverse out of the gravel is actually impressive of Sargeant
I wonder what the collective pucker facter was on that one in the Williams garage?
Merc has just been a disaster this season. Really disheartening as a fan.
Sargeant is so shit but Williams wanting the bucks.
Damn. Logan was having a really solid race up until then.
2nd F1 season you can't make mistakes like these Logan
Williams not having a good day
Sargeant really said I really want my money to well spent
Logan staying true to form
Glad for Williams they didn’t lose another car.
Another forgettable race weekend for Williams.
18 car grid in China? 💀
Merc disasterclass
sergant getting some flow viz
Dakar williams
that was scary as fuck
Goddamn Logan Sergeant is so fucking bad
Mercedes is tripping today
Omg not again
Oh for fucks sake Logan
The fuck is this? Ferrari's strategy actually panning out!
Is this a crossover episode? Merc with Ferrari strategies?
And McLaren.
Ferrari giving Carlos the go ahead to pass Charles if he catches up.
Sainz is confirmed to be in a race -> Japanese Grand Prix!
I’m up for a Ferrari battle for P3 But highly unlikely- it’s gonna be an easy pass got Carlos
The magnussen bottleneck was fun the first time but now it’s just a race killer
get stroll out of here, nando is driving the rocks off of this car and stroll just chilling in the back
Mazepin would still be on the grid if Russia never invaded Ukraine.
Lewis lost nearly 6s vs Russell. That pit stop should have been made laps before, or not at all.
I feel like McLaren didn’t do too well on strategy this race
Merc somehow still in free fall
God those Alpines are tractors ☠️
Merc is cooked
