Driver of the day is a difficult one. If you have clearly the fastest car in the field and you drive it from pole to the win, should that be driver of the day?

I fully agree on Max getting driver of the day. He is always there or thereabouts when it comes to action on the track.

and he lasted about 30 laps was it on softs

Yes, I think even Max was surprised at that.

He was a bit fortunate with Kimi held up in the traffic while chasing him down.

i enjoyed yesterday race until the FIA decide to furk lewis race up

but lewis max battle was so nice

mclaren battle was good until piastri gearbox

good race after a long time

Lewis only lost 1 position to Charles for that 5s speeding penalty.

Far more damage was done by boxing under VSC while Max and Kimi stayed out. Red Bull are just so darn good at VSC/SC box decisions - boxed and got it right in Abu Dhabi 2021 and then yesterday, stayed out and got it right.

I thought Hannah and Red Bull were daft putting Max onto used softs for the last stint, but they had a reference which nobody during the race picked up: Alonso did 34 laps from the start, with a full tank of fuel on softs. That's how Red Bull knew they could do it.

I love how the Max haters on SM are crying foul over Max winning the driver of the day when they feel Lando should have received it.

We'll just ignore the potential overtake of the year shall we?

I think the algo is feeding you.

Driver of the day is chosen by "fans". So it's mostly a popularity vote, imho.

Driver of the day is a popularity contest at the time, not much more.

Naah, just comments under legitimate accounts which I follow. I just chuckle and move on. Engagement is for my real world.

Aston Martin will be running their new engine on Wednesday at a filming day at the Hungaroring before they officially debut it in Zandtvoort after the Summer break. Think they are limited to 200km, but it should be a good indication of the potential of the upgrade.

Carlos is fast turning into a massive c.unt.

With the direction Williams has gone, I think the frustration is creeping in and perhaps the regret of not taking the Audi drive, which his father advised him to take.

Apparently he had gone past 7 blue flags prior to making contact with Piastri.

8. I watched a video on X. He hits Oscar in front of the 8th flashing blue board.

And yet he is crying that it was racing instead of just apologizing.
