Stupid from Lando. I mean - Oscar needed to pedal faster because he was too slow…. Lando could have got Max but then again what do you do? McLaren don’t want team orders but that’s the risk.
At least he had the grace to immediately hold his hands up though.
On a different point:
I’m getting a bit sick of hearing drivers screaming foul over the radios.
Just no need for it. Verstappen and Russell both at it there. “Ooh, please sir, that other boy’s being naughty! He should get detention!” Just drive the fucking cars you twats. Also, Horner’s got some fucking brass neck saying “don’t fall for the gamesmanship”. Bloke’s a monumental arsehole.
Enjoyed the cheeky moment from Russell to slow during the SC, he really does get into Verstappen's head doesnt he. He'd be such a different beast for Max to deal with if they got into a WDC battle.
I'm sure it was a delayed radio message, but found Toto's radio to George amusing, just as he was coming down the pit lane funny, as was almost as though he'd forgotten to congratulate his winning driver, as doesnt give a shit about him.
If Mercedes can do that a few more times, Russell will sneak his way into the battle for the Championship this season, as he's so consistent!!

I'm also fully expecting if we get some rain and a favourable grid slot , we're getting the Kimi Antonelli race win.
Lando need an experienced old head guiding him. Piastri has it with Webber. I was never keen on Lando before as he seemed a it childish and full of himself. But he's grown on me and one of the few characters in the sport

Yeah I've long questioned Norris' mental ability to win, he took a while to get his first actual race win, and remember him in his F2 battle with Russell, he was never really in contention after winning the first race.
I wouldn't have been surprised had he ended up being a Brundle type F1 Driver, someone who got so close to a win, but never managed it.

Except that was Verstappen’s race engineer and not Horner…

Fair point. My mistake.
In my defence, Horner is still a monumental arsehole. 😉
Not adding much new to the conversation with this, but utterly brainless from Norris. Open and shut case for the insurance adjuster to apportion blame on that one. Pisastri played completely fair as they battled down the straight. Lando just doesn’t seem to have the cool head under pressure. It’ll hold him back forever winning a world title. Agree with this saying Russel is the best British driver on the grid right now and one who might challenge Max a bit more in a straight fight. Piastri is another who Verstappen won’t fluster.
Agree with @lordromford - the tattle-tailing over the radio is very tedious and makes the all sound like a bunch of knobheads. Grow up.
Not F1, but did anyone see the Newgarden & Foster crash in the St Louis Indycar race?
Scary stuff but credit to the engineering and safety of the cars these days. Amazing they both walked away…
Yeah really felt for Newgarden, not a fan of Penske Racing (Who ended up having a disaster of a race with all three drivers), but he was in complete control of the race and ended up out of the race, due to no fault of his own - Credit as well to one of the Marshals who was over to the car and down on his knees talking to Josef within seconds of the incident as well.
I watched the full race back this evening, due to how late it was on last night, and Ovals are really beginning to grow on me for the exciting racing that they generate - Really hoped that Callum Ilott would hold on and some how grab a bit of an underdog win when the strategy seemed to briefly fall in his favour.

I love a bit of oval racing. It’s a shame there is actually so little of them left on the Indycar calendar these days. Once you get into it and understand the nuances and strategy it becomes so much more than “driving around in circles”!
Yes, kudos to the Marshall who was straight over the pit wall and checking on Newgarden. Very brave to leap onto an effectively still live track with so much debris. Maybe thinking back to the Zanardi crash all those years back and realising ever second could count.

I really enjoy Indycar when it's on at a sensible time , I know Palou has been quite dominant of late but there's plenty of depth to their field. Penske seem to be a total mess on and off the track ATM and can't buy a win, I guess with sacking their main leads of the team there's going to be a few major growing pains for them to contend with.
Heavy rumours Will Power is out at Penske to be replaced by David Malukas and Andretti will promote Dennis Hauger to replace Ericsson.

Reminds me of Button Vs Hamilton 2011

Lando can still win the title if he gets in the right head space long way to go
