Alonso’s penalty now being reviewed at the weekend (Mexico). Does seem a bit rum, bits hanging off car- steward’s have the option of flagging for car to pit and resolve said hanging thing, stewards don’t do that, then post-race Alonso is punished. Seems more like the race operators should have...

4 more races to go this season with nothing to play for [emoji1] Would be good to see the teams go into full ‘testing’ mode with loads of upgrades trying stuff in preparation for next season. 2023 would great to have Red Bull, Ferrari and Merc all competing at the front.

Great 10 mins where no one can work out what points are being awarded and whether Max is WC or not [emoji23]

Ah I see. Haven’t seen a replay of the start yet which is odd- I’ve been watching for an hour and they have time to fill! Maybe replay the first few laps pre-Red flag? So are they going to re-start on inters or wets? [emoji16][emoji2357]

Sorry I missed the start- why did they start on inters not full wets?

Gasly has gone to Alpine. Decent line up there now. De Vries to Alpha Tauri good shout from them.

Reports today saying that the breaches which have been identified are all in the minor category so punishments will be of the slap on wrist variety

Long race. Stamina required. Wonder what Checo’s punishment will be? And when do we hear about Red Bull’s £10million overspend punishment [emoji2369]

Wet track. Interesting race to come.

Couldn’t help but watch that race end thinking- this is what happens when the rules are followed. Personally I have no problem with the race finishing under the safety car. Very few F1 races have a grandstand finish, normally the guy in first place is managing his pace / engine cruising around...

Max P2 in 5 laps- on the back of Leclerc now

Looking at the times, Max is around 1.5 seconds per lap faster than everyone bar the Ferraris so I expect him to be up behind Leclerc in no time. Then will either overtake or wait for Ferarri to bring him in for a 3 wheel pitstop onto the wrong tyre choice

Wonder what Ferrari will do to screw Leclerc this time

The grid once all the penalties are applied. Looks spicy but Russell said afterwards that they expect Verstappen to be in the lead by lap 15 again.

Danny Ric as a Merc reserve drive seems far fetched but who knows. He does seem out of any decent options. But race winner to reserve driver seems a crazy path. And hanging around waiting for Hamilton to hang up his helmet sounds like a v awkward dynamic. Russell is 100% sound as a future No. 1...

I think it’s a decent shout that whether the safety cars happened or not, and whatever the strategy choices, Max V looked faster than both Mercs and probably would have made it to first place anyway. It was frustrating to watch though. Plus side- Mercs now seem closer so could be closer for...

Not forgetting Perez spinning on the final lap of Q3 when it looked like both Mercs could be close to taking pole.

Progress! Gasly to Alpine likely to be confirmed next?

I could see Danny Ric at Williams- he says he wants a competitive car but he hasn’t had one since he left Red Bull so that shouldn’t be an issue [emoji12]

Looked like Hamilton’s fault that one- don’t mess with it Alonso he will never give way. Max on the way up to first place by the looks of it?
