@canefan was it 3 DNFs?
Two I think? He ran a good race, but could not afford missteps by his team over timing of pitstops and tyre changes. After qualifying outside the points positions he had a good chance to win a point but just couldn't hang on with old tyres against Alonso with fresh tyres. I don't know why they didn't change his tyres when everyone else came in during the safety car

Liam gets knocked out of the points by Alonso 2 laps from the finish 😞. But he gained 2 spots compared to his starting position
Decent race speed too. The moves on Albon were good.. the one on Bearman not so good
Generally fast all weekend apart from Q2. Practise was 6th, 10th & 10th. Q1 he was 8th
He needs to nail a qualifying. He looks like he’ll hold his position if he can start a few places higher

Not sure why they put Max on new hards during the safety car. He was always going to struggle.
With only a handful of laps left he should of stayed
out on his current tyres, he would have also moved up a few positions (I think?) by not pitting when those ahead of him pitted.But then we would have missed out on him throwing the toys out of the pram...

Quali is crucial. Then he can conserve his tyres instead of burning through them trying to pass those ahead of him

Very disappointing result for Lawson, qualified 19th but up to 18th after Yuki penalty. Hadjar made Q1 but later dropped to 12th after penalty. Highly likely Hadjar will partner Max next year or even this year if Yuki continues to struggle.
I don't think Yuki goes anywhere until next season. Honda paid top dollar for that seat

Disappoint race for Lawson, he was doing ok running at 15th and heading up a DRS train but they couldn't pass him but had to retire after his last pit stop.
Good win for Russel, but the talk of the weekend is the McLaren incident. Piastri and Norris were racing, and Norris got it wrong and hit the wall. He immediately stuck his hand up and said it was his fault, all on him etc and owned it. I respect that and it's why I think he's so popular.
Sadly, it's perhaps also why I doubt he really is a world champion driver. I think you need to be a bit more of an arse. Could you see any of Max, Hamilton, Vettel etc immediately owning the mistake and not trying to pin it on the other driver?
