Was zero downside to putting softs on as well. It’s not like George was going find the pace to pressure Lando even if the softs started to go away…
 
Hmmm... interesting


rewatching this a few times it was cause by two different approaches to the apex. hell, I would have left it as-is because max (even if you give oscar turn 1) was fully alongside for turn 2, and oscar has no intention of leaving space. Oscar was nearly all 4 wheels off at turn 2

Yea. Max did divebomb him. However I think the FIA saw what I think I saw which is Max came in hot and couldnt make the corner. AKA he didnt have any INTENT to make the corner. Had Oscar not been there Max still wouldnt have been able to make the corner on the line he was on at the speed he was going. But since it was so close thats why he was given a 5 second and not a 10 second penalty.

Eh... not sure I buy he couldn't have made the corner. Yes, hi sline was slightly tighter in Q3, but he still came from the outside. He was going much faster though. If you have F1TV, go re-watch l;ast year's GP and watch Lecelrc and Perez. It is almost identical to max and oscar. The main difference is that leclerc actually made T1 and left room at T2 - both leclerc and perez were side by side into T1 and out of T2. In the pic above you can see oscar is never at full lock, and the pic below is well, meh...

It'll be interesting to see Jolyon Palmer's show - he should have some better overhead angles than they replayed.


What's that Alonso says: "All de time you have-a to leave-a de space!"

Really seems open to interpretation which sucks.
Apparently there only allows one racing line into turn one. At what point does Max have to concede the position & where does he go to do that????
 
FIA totally just launched angry Max for the rest of the season. Five lights and go will be even more contested for the championship fight!!
 
And asked the team if they were having tea!!

All I got was this.
I missed the tea comment

Lap 53/57: “We’ll try again next lap,” the Ferrari team tells Leclerc.

“It’s OK,” Leclerc says.

Hamilton lets him through.

“Sainz 1.4 behind,” they tell Hamilton.

Hamilton: “You want me to let him through as well?”

Hamilton wanted past leclerc and complained about the time it was taking to make a decision, made the tea comment as well as noting it wasn't good, team wise, to keep him behind charles, then they let him past. Hamilton couldn't deliver, then whined when they told him to swap back, which was the right move.
Hamilton hasn't figured out he isn't that good anymore.

I saw all that guess I just missed the tea time comment.
 
Have to say that Imola weekend and race day was overall good F1 entertainment!!
Sure it was the usual suspects doing their usual sh*t (Ferrari drama, Yuki not in a full body cast, George being George on the radio, McLaren suspect strategy, and Max just doing next level driving to poke the haters in the eye…)
Perhaps the order is not going to stay static all that long this year?!?!

This was a great race indeed - and not just because Max won (that, too). And yes, that first corner pass on Piastri while keeping George and Lando at bay was incredible - dude was through like grease through a goose.

Max made a great re-start after the full safety car and went to work. If that RedBull car can stay in the window ongoing it is going to be a ridiculously tight season.

Yea, Max definitely got the better of Oscar with that opening move- very slick. Will be interesting to see if Oscar let's it get in his head and his performance suffers like Lando.
Redbull seems to have found some pace, but they definitely won the safety car lottery yesterday too. Still not sure what McLaren was thinking pitting Oscar so early, but it did make the race more entertaining. Easy to be an armchair race engineer after the fact too - haha.
