the only person who had a worse race than ferrari was oscar piastri – and when the leaderboard listed him as 'out', he reversed out of the grass and got back on track. he was not going to DNF at his home race without the stewards physically wrenching a front axle from his hands.
oscar piastri is a goddamn phoenix, and he will rise again and again and again. i love charles, and he is il predestinato - but oscar being a champion is not even predestined. it's literally inevitable.
George is the first to to leave the track and gain an advantage:
Kimi takes advantage of George's selfie to reach over his shoulder and drive their car into the Ferraris:
Charles retaliates by pushing the Mercs off track:
Lando is frustrated with the DRS train and tries to pull an overtake on the Mercs:
...which George rightly defends:
Lando then tries to slingshot around the outside:
George notices when they're almost wheel-to-wheel and defends fiercely:
CONTACT!
George and Charles join forces to try to squeeze Pierre!
I need the graphics person to understand that I need the timings at all times stop just showing me their names

can’t wait for whatever other banger line you’re going to bring out during media today king.
The Director of the GPDA side plot: yeah I broke the rules. Tell the FIA to Penalise me <3 what are they gonna do? give the 10 seconds? Do it <3
FIA: here is a 20 second drive through penalty
The FIA and race control are such a consistently negligent entities. The last fatality in f1 was because there was a truck lifting a crashed car on a wet track. And yet here we are years later with the benefit of hindsight with marshals and trucks on a wet track with freshly painted lines and the drivers are going around instead of red flagging the race for a couple of minutes. It's genuinely astounding.
I love when people try to rate the RB car. "It's the fourth fastest car", "It's the third fastest car", "It's worse than the VCARB". That car is an abomination and exists on an entirely different plane. It's Schrodinger's car. It both is and isn't fast. Do not try to make sense of it.
Im fucking DRY HEAVING at the energy Nico brought to the paddock this week, he's airing everyones business. First it was "Flavio's ugly ass invited me to his fuckass room for negotiations" and then he LITERALLY JUST SAW JAMES VOWELS AND WENT "I call you Vowels bc u called me Rosberg when were teammates... how shockingly impersonal is that u fucking rat ???? [takes deep breath for terrifyingly detailed analysis] [James tries to defend himself] "yes BUT I was sitting at your table??? I was yOuR fRiEnD aNd tEaMmAte🤨"
