If Max Verstappen had started where Sergio Perez did today in the #SpanishGP , he'd have beaten the Mercedes drivers. In fact, he'd probably have still won 🏆 #F1

If Mercedes helps de Vries into a 2022 Williams #F1 drive it’ll be hard to have much sympathy for Red Bull over the matter. They have 4 cars and they didn’t want to put Albon in one of those, so they can’t be too upset if their hope of putting him somewhere else doesn’t come off

Bit of a shocker from the McLaren pit wall there today. Should have stacked their cars first time. Then left Norris out too long. Then should have put him on mediums for the final stint. If Lando made the call for softs, they should have overruled him.

Driving like this has no place in any racing series, professional or amateur. To say afterwards: “I had to risk everything” and “I was surprised Liam put up such a fight” is nonsense. And he only got a 5-sec penalty for it. DTM and F1 must share officials 🤦‍♂️

How sad and predictable. Did Red Bull get off lightly over the 2021 cost cap? Yeah, probably. I'd have certainly had no problem with a much harsher penalty than they got. But if you think that overspend is the reason they are dominating #F1 now, you're not paying attention.

Andretti rejected by #F1 . Greed wins. We have teams in the back half of the grid doing very little with the supposed ‘value’ that an 11th entry would threaten - but they’re welcome to stay 🙄 Flawed system.

So Las Vegas can combine the over-the-top glitz & glamour with a circuit that's at least fit for modern F1 cars and provides decent racing and real overtaking opportunities. Which makes me wonder - what's the point of Monaco now?

With 8 laps to go and fresher tyres for @LandoNorris , this move was on. I think there’s some IndyCar snobbery being directed at the F1 guy if any of the drivers and spotters want to criticise this - or in the case of Pagenaud, think it warrants petty retribution

Watched it back several times. Hamilton keeps a lot of lock on and hasn’t got back on the throttle (which would push him wide) before contact. Racing incident. Admirable opportunism from Albon but 10 to go was a little too early to take the risk when you hold most of the cards.

Some things never change 😂 Story from 1996 on #F1 trying to make the racing better because the cars can’t follow closely enough 🏎🏎🏎

Very interested to see how mixed the reaction is to Guenther Steiner leaving Haas. Seems like a lot of people think he was part of the problem there. My suspicion is that the problem at that team sits a bit higher in the tree than his level #F1
