    Although incredibly funny to watch Max bin it.

    Russell is cursed!!! - He's not getting that pole, but was clearly getting it if Verstappen doesnt crash!!

    He didnt sound confident when he said it wasn't double yellows, and sounded like a man nervously making an excuse for the stewards

    Guessing Teds interview with Toto was delayed and just after it finished.

    I'm surprised they didnt just Red Flag the session, with where Max had crashed

    That lap can’t stand. It would be a shocking precedent to let it stand with just a “lift” through a double waved yellow

    Depends if it was Double or Single Yellow Flags though - Chris Medland is saying that if it was Double Yellow Flags then doesnt matter if Russell lifted or not, the time would have been deleted regardless
    So Vasseur is saying that there were no Double Yellows
    Crofty now saying that Double Yellow Flags were for Russell's inlap

    Seems from Davidsons analysis he should keep it.

    Dunno why as I always back the Brits but something about Russell winds me up

    Its his continuous whinging that winds me up, oh and his bulbous eyes are too close together.

    Interesting point from Jamie Chadwick that it should have gone straight to double waved because of the nature of the corner.

    I thought his interview with Fisi was a bit shitty. Fisi didn't have the data or anything and could only go off what he'd seen on the feed.

    Anthony Davidson’s analysis was excellent there. Talked us through what was happening really clearly while also learning what had happened himself.
    Interesting that the discussion straight afterwards was that it should have been a double yellow, which is fair enough, but they seemed to be suggesting that Russell should have just known it would be a double yellow and therefore should have aborted.
    However, I feel like Russell isn’t getting enough credit here for playing by the rules as they stand and taking advantage of it.

    Other challenge with modern f1 cars is that lifting over 100m does piss all in terms of your overall speed of travel

    Definitely a single, not double waved yellows so even if it should have been George followed the rules so fair the lap stood.  I don’t mind Verstappen as he is obviously so talented but good to see he is human after all !
