What a disappointing Sunday for the Alfa Romeos, I was so looking forward for them to capitalize. 😬

Are Aston Martin back to be a midfield team again? There last races see lackluster compared to the beginning of the season.

Feels like the change in compound hit them hard.

Yup. ALO has pretty much confirmed it.

I thought Danny Ric had a good race given the start. Managed to maintain position on the mediums. Aston’s and Ferraris continue to feel a bit invisible. Congrats to Redbull for the record, deserve it.

Frustrating but promising for Alpha Tauri, if Ricciardo had a clean start he may have finished in the points given the race pace.

Post-race show saying that Ocon’s seat snapped in half from the collision with his teammate. Wow.

What a brilliant first lap from Piastri. Aggressive, precise, clean. I hadn’t paid too much attention to him this year, but it’s starting to look like he has the promise of a successful F1 career.

I still have my doubts. His race craft is good for sure, but his race pace isn’t quite up to snuff yet.

Hopefully it comes with age and experience, but I just have this nagging feeling he’ll never get to WDC pace material. Think Sainz to Leclerc’s, or Bottas to Lewis.

Yeah probably not a future WDC. Sainz and Bottas are successful drivers in my book though. And we’ve had a fair amount of underperforming rookies these past years so seeing Piastri fighting near the front and keeping out of trouble is pretty cool.
