LeClerc has absolutely done Checo there. Knew exactly what was going to happen.

It was beautiful

Credit where it’s due, Ricciardo has had a great race so far.

I wonder have they changed it based on his lack of pace, there was a radio message earlier telling him to stick with Hamilton and pass Norris.

I know Hamilton hasn't passed Norris but Bottas has gone backwards - is it all preserving tyre pace?

Probably a bit of both but once Hamilton didn't pass straight away the switch in strategy the right call and bottas only a few secs off them so it might pay off

I'd love to see it again, but a 5 second penalty is very harsh for me.

Tzardine · 04-07-2021 02:27PM

Thats bullsh1t in fairness.

PsychoPete · 04-07-2021 02:28PM

Very harsh for Lando

Itssoeasy · 04-07-2021 02:28PM

That penalty is harsh to me.

Rossi IRL · 04-07-2021 02:28PM

Stupid penalty

Cool_CM · 04-07-2021 02:28PM

That's harsh

This is it · 04-07-2021 02:28PM

Ridiculous penalty

MadYaker · 04-07-2021 02:28PM

Seriously what the fcuk are they doing? They're doing they're most to make the sport into an absolute joke.

ctrl-alt-delete · 04-07-2021 02:29PM

We had Horner pretty much say it was a racing incident, I wonder who made the call and gave the penalty.

Faugheen · 04-07-2021 02:29PM

Entirely agree. Absolute nonsense.

Fair play to Hamilton with that message there.

jammiedodgers · 04-07-2021 02:29PM

Absolute joke. Even Horner thought it was a racing incident.

Sabre0001 · 04-07-2021 02:29PM

Nonsense penalty. Space wasn't there for Perez and he was able to go for overtake because he went so wide at earlier turn and had more speed than he should have.

Would like to see better angles, the onboard shots as well. But initial reaction was racing incident and no penalty required

Itssoeasy · 04-07-2021 02:31PM

Those onboard shots don’t show how Lando deserved a time penalty.

ctrl-alt-delete · 04-07-2021 02:31PM

Right those onboards were some good views, Lando still left him room, there was quite a gap between the cars there in f1 terms or am i being stupid?

Perez literally pulled out of it.

deafroadrunner · 04-07-2021 02:31PM

That's actually a joke of a penality

MadYaker · 04-07-2021 02:33PM

Max sounds like he's out for a relaxing sunday drive

Ohmeha · 04-07-2021 02:34PM

Derek Warwick was always a muppet not a surprise he is looking for attention handing out that idiotic decision

Itssoeasy · 04-07-2021 02:34PM

Good question from Lando. “For what ?”

Pretty dejected in that message, "if it is for that turn 4 what does the guy expect when ge goes out wide?"

I'm with Di Resta and I want to see hard racing, you take that chance you've got to be prepared for it not working. Not all tracks are going to have a nice run off area to soften the blow.

PsychoPete · 04-07-2021 02:36PM

Ricciardo doing a good job here

Irishjg · 04-07-2021 02:37PM

So far, better race than last week.

It's like they don't want the drivers to overtake at all, just drive around in a procession.
