Alonso sacrificed his entry speed into the corner, and by taking such a wide angle, it allowed him to get a better launch coming out of the corner, giving him just enough of a gap to keep Perez behind. No doubt Perez was taking major notes on what Alonso was doing. It was a great battle, and even though Perez came up short, you could tell they both enjoyed it.

[@futtbuckerson6750]

Had some people over to watch the race that don't normally watch f1 the whole room cheered when Alonso crossed the line it was awesome.

[@VanskyAlleria]

I agree with Matt. The formation lap is where you get yourself comfy, you are thinking of the start, hoping it will be good, your driver won't mess up etc. and then a sudden cut to a Ferrari in the wall! For a moment I was not sure what I was looking at. As Matt said, it was a dry track, so you don't expect anything like that. Ouch. I feel bad for Charles.

[@The1emersonukno]

They need to make a rule where if a safety car is called and then after the same incident turns to a red flag they should count the red flag back to when the safety car was called and restart with that order. Wouldve let oscar and Danny unlap themselves quickly and get back to where they were when the race was neutralized.

[@benbhardy]

Yup. As it was, Oscar and Daniel were basically punished for doing the right thing from a safety perspective and pitting their damaged cars instead of staying out and following the safety car for a lap with cars with rear wings hanging off. The precedent race direction set with this race is that teams with badly damaged cars should stay out if there's a high chance of a red flag instead of doing the safe thing and bringing the car in. That's not a good precedent to set if safety is their top priority. Though had race control immediately red flagged a situation that clearly needed a red flag because of barrier damage the whole thing could have been avoided.

Alonso and Checo just gave us THE BEST battle of the season with a masterclass in racing and sportsmanship, and you still need to bash Checo? My goodness, just give him a break! The guy gave his best, AM car was great this weekend AND he literally lost against the GOAT. Give him a little credit!

[@Living.La.Vida.]

For real... I don't remember who said it, but either Checo or Fernando said after the race that you need two drivers to battle like that. The AM wasn't a tractor by any chance this weekend and RB made Checo pit early to protect from Lewis, so his tyres were older than Fernando's...

[@rosek7114]

The criticism is completely warranted. Alonso was great, Perez was not.

[@greenlantern7959]

19:00 so true about Mercedes. From the team who never makes mistakes, to full Ferrari strategy, in 2 seasons. They’ve forgotten how to fight and are now making the same mistakes as the others

[@thecompanioncube4211]

I don’t think you recall Mercedes dominance correctly. Merc was never exceptional at strategy or pitstops. It was getting carried by strong car and Hamilton the entire time. Operationally, they were and are quite weak and RBR always has been on top in that aspects. Look at 2021, so many times RBR out mega minded Mercedes in the closest battle they have ever had.

[@teamredgutz399]

Fernando’s drive was the best defense by an inferior car to a far superior car I’ve ever seen. What an incredible use of defensive tactics by the old fox. Placed the car perfectly. Brilliant use of battery. Knew exactly when to defend and to attack. Ana anticipated Checo’s every move.

[@blackpaint9093]

Hungary against hamilton was insane, but hungary is hard to pass and easy to defend(despite huge difference in performance). But this is clearly the final testament of his supreme defense capabilities. He held longer than in hungary, and in a track where passing is relatively easy. You could see from Perez' view that alonso spent the whole track charging the battery, to then use it all in the main straight. Absolutely insane

[@davidchapman3042]

@@blackpaint9093fernando’s greatness comes from dragging shite sub par cars to places they have absolutely no business being in, he’s continued to prove that in zandvoort and now here, that he is truly second to none.

[@davidchapman3042]

He also tired checo out,he tired his nervous system really bad considering how long he dragged checo with drs,checo after finally making the move knew he had to defend t1 if fernando tried late braking there so he went defensive and braked just a meter or two late which was enough for nando to have a run down on 4,even after that perez could possibly take the place back in the last 4 corners but alonso just made perez’s chances slim to none becoming absolutely unpredictable taking unotrthodox lines and just giving checo a lot of turbulence to deal with. I wouldn’t have cared if fernando lost out to checo at the line, the fact he made to the line wheel to wheel is an understatement in itself nevertheless being on the winning side of the battle.

Perez passing Alonso. Alonso sticking with him in the twisty bits... "Oh wait... I have ERS.. Checo probably drained his battery passing me. Let's set it up shall we". Out of the finaly corner...accelerating up... you can see Fernando pushing some buttons turning some switches and scares Perez into braking a bit..only a bit too late than normal into turn 1. He follows Perez with his normal line...licks the ERS stamp and sends it into the second DRS zone! :D And they say F1's boring...

[@sundaydriver15]

On the TV direction discussion: what baffled me the most was that we didn't get to see a clear angle of the Perez-Alonso finish line, they only had that one aerial shot that was being blocked by the Rolex banners. Even the F1 accounts are reposting a video from someone else in the stands!

Alonso PARKING the car in the corner after repassing Checo to kill his momentum is just *chefs kiss*. I have done that shit in iRacing and it is infuriating to those behind. And ive had it done to me, thats how i learned it. But its an old technique. Absolute masterclass. V'ing off the corners to get a late apex for getting on power sooner is also just signs of someone who has developed a hufe toolkit of racecraft Also, I did check in to see if you were ok. I had brought up twitch on my phone but was multitasking and forgot to start it alongside F1TV on my tv. I didn't think anything would happen on formation lap...

[@siddharthn.3839]

You guys forgot in 2021, Alonso in an Alpine held up Lewis Hamilton who was charging through the field in a W12 and gave Esteban Ocon his first and only victory till date.

[@teokotirinta2960]

Honestly Yuki is about as lucky as Leclerc, his engine blew up on formation lap, he got punted out of the race in Singapore and has has atleast a few races with very questionable strategy calls from the team all these in situations with potential to fight for points. Honestly even at Brazil when Ocon and others aroun Yuki pit for the last time and he stayed out for multiple laps on the mediums while Ocon was doing fastest lap of the race I was thinking "not again.."

[@teokotirinta2960]

Even at Mexico where he ended up throwing away the great comeback drive when Yuki and Lando stopped very early for some clear track to deive on his first pit stop took over 10 seconds, and I didnt hear any talk of frontwing damage or anything.

[@fin-ed6oj]

My biggest pet peeve with the TV direction is that when it gets to about lap 3 or 4, they show like a million different replays of the race start from loads of different onboard perspectives. Meanwhile DRS has just been enabled and the entire pack is still bunched up. And they always end up having to cut a replay short as they scramble around to quickly show the ongoing overtake. It's just infuriating! And also yes, on Sunday you could just see Lando's gap to Max coming down ever so slightly from 1.5 to 1.4 to 1.3 etc and the TV directors didn't even seem to notice! It was obvious that Lando was about to be in DRS range and yet they still practically missed Max & Lando going side by side through turn 1... it's just careless

I'd like to see them allowing to change their prediction after the final practice session, so that it's not just wild guess based on historical performance, and you can choose to not change and double down to get 2 points.

Thank you Fernando and Sergio for the delightful show! No discounting the skill of Max, I’m no idiot, but Fernando, watched the race in freaking Monaco, in traffic, and not on a scenic cruise at the front; casually, exhibiting his insane driver IQ. Fernando, could run race strategy for the entire paddock from the seat of his Aston. I think his radio commentary backs this statement. It’s almost humorous to hear the team simply bless his stated strategy and observations of other team’s performance. It’s just another Sunday drive, at break neck speeds, for Alonso. Sergio, whom I’m rooting for as well, simply needed to finish a race. I hope we have several more years of Alonso, on the grid, but I also can’t wait until he is managing the strategy for a team. I fathom it will take the sport to another level and I hope a team can afford him. 😎

@p1 can you guys add a team rating for pitstops? Would love to hear your insights on what goes wrong with a pitstop

[@jdbb3gotskills]

Matty’s “oh fuck off” is iconic this year 🫶

[@BurnsidesAP]

It felt wrong, but the Daniel/Oscar thing kind of makes sense if you think about a situation where someone is more than one lap down. You can’t just ignore the laps they’ve not done because of fuel and tyre wear so you’d have to send them around the track. If they’re completely unlapping themselves then we would have to wait for them to drive around the track multiple times before we could restart properly. In a worst case scenario we could have someone who retired rejoin the race like Perez did recently. A rule where they could unlap themselves by a single lap might make sense though.

[@zulubunsen9067]

As far as I know, the unlapping before a Safety Car restart is mainly about safety, not "leveling the field" -- ie. so that slower cars don't get mixed up with faster ones. Even so, if you're two laps down and you get to unlap yourself before a SC restart, you only get one lap back. They won't get an extra lap just so things are more fair -- if you drive one lap less, you'll be one lap down. From what I've read, in cases where drivers were allowed to unlap themselves before a Red Flag restart was because they were part of the "fast lane" in the pits, ie. they were lapped, but part of the pack before the race suspension. Daniel and Oscar went to the pits one lap before the race was suspended, they were essentially spending one lap's time repairing the cars. In endurance racing this is pretty much a regular occurrence. With the Red Flag it does feel a bit unfair, but it's more down to bad luck -- which tends to happen with SC and Red Flags.

The battle for the point-lead between Matt and Tommy is way more exciting than the F1-championship this year

[@Skreezilla]

I believe the reason for the two cars not being able to gain back their laps was because they took them into the garage, which meant they had to start at the back of the line for the formation lap, hence not getting a lap back. It is there to stop people from popping the car into the garage on the start losing a lap and changing items as they are out of parc-ferme..... but yeah is a bit daft

Mercedes during the 2014-2021 era benefitted from a rocket of an PU and the ability to just throw money at a problem and it figure itself out.

[@ashen2992]

You guys should rank the Gp itself and see which track is the best in the season

[@vic456]

Regarding the unlapping, i belive that is because the two drivers were lapped by the entire field at that point. Normally, they are allowed to unlap because they have been lapped by some and are placed in the middle of the field, getting in the way of the other drivers. That was not the case here.

[@Gangrieksta]

Lapped cars are given permission to unlap themselves while behind a safety car when there's at least 1 lapped car in front of a car on the lead lap. Daniel and Oscar were already at the back of the queue when they came back out into the pitlane.

[@Thermalions]

Precisely this. They don't want back markers effectively blocking faster cars on the restart. The goal isn't to let them unlap themselves, it's to get them out of the way, with the easiest and safest way to do that is to go forward past the pack and rejoin at the back.

I like how matt is obsessed with checo! 😂😂😂 dude just doesn’t like him one bit.

[@alexg7417]

I was expecting a cutaway to a replay of Tom taking the lead during the review of predictions ... 😆

[@WillowCreative]

toto wolff said they considered pitlane start but they didnt know what to change to improve the car

[@prateekjha30]

The entire mercedes part felt like you guys are reading an obituary

[@tjitsekoster9379]

They used to show the replay of the start after a minimum of 6 or 7 laps. Now it's before DRS is enabled.

@mattp1tommy wouldn't this be the best sprint weekend format? Friday FP1 and FP2 Saturday Qualifying and Sprint (Qualifying is for the GP grid position, and then reverse that for the Sprint.) Sunday Grand Prix The Saturday Qualifying for GP grid position would alleviate any concern that drivers would drive slow for the reverse grid sprint position. What do you all think?

[@shreyasmahendra6809]

Idk reverse grid just sounds like a stupid format to me

[@rosgoncharuk2403]

Either reverse qualifying or reverse championship, so that it can be had on Friday w/o additional quali and forcing parc ferme

I think the question is not how was Alonso able to hold Perez for such a long time. I think it's more important to see how much better the Red Bull is that it could live in the dirty air for that long and still challenge. It's clear how much better the car is, because no other car could live there without overheating and destroying its tires. (cough cough Mercedes George Russell radio messages)

To be fair, I am someone that checks up on your twitch channel to see if you're ok. My immediate thought after the crash was "poor Matt, he's going to be crushed" 😞

[@MrVecitis]

Please remember in the driver ratings, that Ricciardo finished just few seconds behind Yuki, despite starting from the pit lane!

[@RaZor921]

And only because the team told him to hold so he doesn't impede Yuki's race. He was faster on pure pace.

[@mohammadnashitsiddiqui2168]

And his car was hit with a tyre

[@theoneandonlyAeth]

Ricciardo was faster than Yuki, he caught up very quickly and sat behind Yuki on team orders.

[@drayvnx]

Ricciardo was 13th and Yuki was 9th?

[@RaZor921]

@@drayvnxBecause Daniel was a lap down, the rules screwed him over because he had to go into the garage on Lap 1 before the red flag came out while the others did another lap behind the safety car, and then they repaired his car under the red flag and he wasn't allowed to unlap himself before the restart. Why they didn't immediately red flag the race or allow him and Oscar to unlap themselves is beyond me. It's not like the damage was their fault and it ruined what would have been a really strong race from Danny especially. He was sticking in Yuki's DRS after the team told him to not overtake and before that he was lapping similar to the top 3 runners.
