He was after the overcut and then a VSC came around...

[@ceasarkhan]

hold on Matt, let me get this straight. Lando: 1. couldn't overtake Piastri in the sprint 2. loses the lead in turn 1, lap 1, yet again. 3. couldn't overtake Russell 4. asks to pit way before, while Russell was asking to stay out. 5. loses positions yet again on the Safety Car restart, and again has to be let go ahead of Piastri 6. loses the WDC. and he gets a 6, while Leclerc gets a 7??? 😂 Is there any sense to these lol. At least Tommy gave an 8 to Leclerc and a 5 to Norris.

[@spyrrex_7541]

yeah but piastri had more luck because of the vsc stop and norris on pace was above him, even if they messed up the red flag stop, it's still hard to predict and he lost a lot cause of that. piastri also finnished behind lawson I think because of his 10 seconds penalty that he made on his own. he also didn't defend against max at all when he's supposed to help his teammate. he did win the sprint pretty much and had to let norris trough, norris bottled 3 starts, but still was faster overall. it's a matter of opinion but imo both did not have a good weekend. I get that norris messes up a lot, but mosy weekend he still ends up in front of piastri and is faster overall. that one was hard to evaluate because of the chaos and the sprint factor but honestly both had bad races.

Its still unfortunate. Doesnt matter if he wanted to pit. To get a red flag after a pitstop is always unlucky. And Max got lucky because of it. Those are facts. But those facts dont diminish the incredible race Max had. I get that a lot of people are mad because of the things lando said but its just dumb to completely ignore the impact the red flag had. Why cant we just appreciate the impressive pace and overtakes max showed without acting like luck didnt change the results?

[@milseq]

@@akkche3tah106 I don't even mind Lando's comments that much, the bloke did just lose the Championship title. I just think that there is a proper skill in determining the safety of track conditions in regard to red flags and such events, and calling it luck, or calling the lack of said skill "unfortunate" is a bit shallow. The red flag wasn't caused by a crash, which would have been mostly unpredictable, but too much water collecting on track.

[@lux_moto]

@@akkche3tah106 I agree that to some level it always is some degree of gambling. But educated guesses are more then just a roll of the dice. Like mr. Milseq says in his comment: based on experience one can predict what is a red flag situation. Doesn't mean you're 100% right all the time, but 75% is already better then random. And luck is what random is.

[@lux_moto]

@@milseq Absolutely agree that Lando's comment is to harshly rated. A young man thought hours earlier that he really found a position to win a WC, and got hit by a painful reality. Who wouldn't be sour after that? How many changes are there for any person on this planet to win a F1 championship. Give the guy a brake after that deception.

As a Norris fan, I really can’t give him more than a 4/10. His qualifying was good, but we’ve come to expect good qualifying from him, so it’s not very impressive. The race was a disaster, unable to get past Russell despite having more pace, making the wrong call to pit (and doubling down on it after the race), and losing places on every single start. I hope he can learn from this rather than making excuses for his mistakes. Yes, the red flag was unlucky, but he should have known it was a possibility.

[@christofferrsnes9508]

I think his performance was a 2/10. Yeah he got pole and 2nd in the sprint but his race was just awful. I see no positives from his race and he lost his shot at the championship. The red flag flipped the race on it’s head yeah, but it’s quite embarrasing going from pole to 6th while Max starting 17th and winning the race.

[@LenWRLD]

Sorry Matt and Tommy, but Lando getting a 6 while Piastri gets a 6 is crazy. Sprint gifted by Piastri, and Pole bottled to P6? On a weekend that pretty much solidified that Lando doesn’t have that killer instinct to ever deserve a WDC. “That’s luck, not skill.” If I had any respect for Lando, it’s all gone after this weekend. I just always had a feeling that he felt entitled to things. You’re not, earn it.

[@foodispriority]

i mean piastri although he was great in the sprint tbh really wasn’t that good in the race i mean the guy started 8th with his teammate on pole and then made an ambitious move that got him a 10 sec penalty whilst not making much progress in the race. i don’t really care much for either driver tbh but i feel like they kind of both weren’t great this weekend

[@RoysIdea]

And I also think Lando made more unforced errors than Oscar. I also question his returns to the track which seem to me too often gaining an advantage without a proper investigation.

[@paperplane-db8qf]

So according to you qualifying P8 is better than qualifying P1. Finishing P8 is better than finishing P6. Crashing into another driver is not as bad as losing one place at the start and locking up on cold tyres. And he still finished behind Lando. But he needs to be rated higher because Lando lost P1 😂

[@daarom3472]

​@@paperplane-db8qf2 teamorders for Oscar in 1 race. He messed up quali and made an ambitious move. That deserves a 5 maybe even. Lando deserves a 4/10 at best. In a race where he should've increased his lead by 10-15 points he instead lost 15.

[@wolfie54321]

@@paperplane-db8qf Driver ratings aren't just about where they finished, it's about overall performance over the weekend. Piastri would have won the sprint, and if not for team orders and them not giving Norris a penalty he probably would have beaten Norris in the main race too. Norris messed up on multiple occasions in the race which took him from championship contender to almost certainly not having a chance in the championship, that is why he deserves a low rating. I didn't even see what happened to Piastri in qualifying, after the red flag he did a lap but looked like he abandoned it pretty early? If it was abandoned because of his own error, I'd give him the same overall score as Lando, if it was the team's fault or something on track that slowed him down, I'd give Piastri overall a higher score than Lando this weekend.

They should be proud of it, and never forget the result they put down here, bravo to both of them, even if I'm not an Ocon fan. - Lewis I really don't think there's a conspiracy there, nor do I think he's washed, or that it was always just the car for him. i thin kthat Merc has just failed to give him a car he can do in waht we know Lewis can do.

I do not think he'll do THAT much beter at Ferrari, but I could definitely be wrong. - Russell is always so close, yet still makes those errors, still loses out sometimes. And to be honest, it IS on the team, but also on him, he could have stood his ground more. - Norris... So disappointed, honestly, I have lost quite a bit of respect for the guy with his comment. And that to a friend as well, after a race you botched so hard yourself. One of the most unflattering moments from Norris ever. Not angry, just disappointed. - Leclerc really impressive that with how far that Ferrari was falling back middleway through, he kept Norris behind. Both Leclerc's performance, as well as Norris' mistakes. But great job Leclerc. And still the best person when it comes to dueling Max, he just knows how to deal with it, and I just LOVE watching those two race together, it's brilliant. - Alonso, champ for pulling through for the engineers, truly. - The rookies, they did their best, some more successful than others, but still deserve praise for sure, I feel like.

[@hannah-wd9qn]

please do tell me where exactly russell made mistakes this race? imo this was a mistake-free race from him, probably the best after max. the pitstop cannot be blamed on him when higher ups come on the radio to tell him to box

[@reddwarf666]

@@hannah-wd9qn Hmm, I rate Occon's performance a tad higher then Russel though so for me Esteban was the best after Max. Russel could have pulled a Sainz and told the team "no!" and keep driving. Sure, if that turns out to be a mistake then he will get the blame, that is the risk of making his own calls and ignoring the team, but there is always the possibility to do this. He chose not to so it is kinda on him tbh.

@@hannah-wd9qn That statement about Russell was mostly just in general, not about this race. Apart from how I still think that if he had truly believed that they should stay out and the red flag like he said, he should put his foot down more. It's happened multiple times now where he says one thing and wants to make a decision, even times where he has, so I don't get why he sometimes just lets the team decide when he is so certain about something. I still consider that a mistake. It's the same criticism I often still have with Leclerc as well. I mean, let's be honest here, some drivers know when to just tell their team to go screw off, and make that decision for them. It was a great race from him, but he could just have stood his ground more on the decision in my opinion, that's all.

Wtf Tommy and Matt? Why does Lando get a score higher than Oscar when he was categorically worse? He had to be given the win on the sprint and then had to be given a position back AGAIN from Oscar in the race after going off track losing several positions after the restart. Mind you, he also started on pole which he bottled and worked his way down to P6. He even cut the corner and overtook several cars to get back behind Oscar, which he didn't get penalised for. He bungled each and every start/restart. Couldn't make an impression on Oscar in the sprint, couldn't make an impression on George and Charles in the race. Not to mention he basically failed the championship fight and lost it once and for all. Do we give points out only for qualifying now do we? And then to pretend Lando was massively faster than Oscar (did you even watch the same race???). Tommy, your British bias is showing...

Oscar was able to pit during the VSC, whereas Lando pitted at the very moment it ended, so Oscar benefited more there. Plus he received a 10-second penalty for punting Lawson that even he admitted that was entirely his fault

Many Lewis fans argue against George's good drive by saying he's never outqualified Lewis in the wet in the time they were team mates. I find it a bit funny that he's done it twice in 2021 though, when he was still in a Williams, the famous Spa P2 lap of course, and then P3 in Russia

If a driver is letting his teammate pass IN BOTH sprint and qualifying because his teammate doesn't have the pace and keeps on binning it, they're not getting equal points. Oscar and Lando on same points is crazy. Lando would've been 3rd and 7th if not for Oscar being Bottas.

[@edgardoMurnia]

Lando a 6? He's that nice? Needs Piasri help to have DRS to defend himself and switch in the Sprint. Then starts when he shouldn't have, loses yet another pole, wants to pit earlier than Leclerc and was afraid of staying put, loses his position to Russell by going off track (or was that also Verstappen?) and then loses more positions in another restart, and gets another position for free he was never going to earn with Piastri, all for nothing as hes not even good enough to even get close to Leclerc. That was a disaster of a weekend. Yes. He would always be good at Qualys. Who cares at this point.

They need to do something with the 'Wet' tyres. It should not be good strategy to wait on used inters and just 'survive' for a red flag. The 'Wet' tyre needs to be good enough to race on, those drivers who take the risk to pit and take wets on should have the opportunity to use this gamble to make up positions over those trying to 'survive' the rain. It's just stupid that when the rain is like this, it turns into a 3 lap survival waiting game for an SC or red flag instead of the Wet tyre being a viable option. Not the drivers fault.

It’s about the spray not the tyres, the drivers can’t see anything in front once it gets wet enough for wet tyres.

Rather than a rating of 3, he deserved a penalty or 3 for his drive. Unsafe rejoin, start infringement (which could have endangered drivers and marshalls) and overtaking off track. Definitely they didn't really rate him for his actual performance and what a horrorshow they put on.

[@paperplane-db8qf]

@@PSelten94he didn’t rejoin unsafely. He didn’t overtake off the track. And the start infringement wasn’t a penalty according to the rule books 😂

[@driesvanoosten4417]

​@@paperplane-db8qf1) he did overtake off the track. He went off in the first part of the chicane, during his off was overtaken and then took those places back rejoining. So he took an advantage. That is a penalty for going off and taking an advantage. That's a consequence of a chicane consisting of two corners. 2) where in the rule book does it say that an aborted start infringment isn't a penalty? The rules don't actually say anything explicit about a penalty, which sometimes happens. In those cases, you have to judge: a) did the infringement gave any driver and advantage or disadvantage? The answer is yes, because it shortened the race by one lap. b) did it cause danger? The answer is: certainly. Stroll just went off during the formation lap, so someone else could easily have gone off again at the same point. It is truly baffling to me that everyone pretends that this is just a little mistake. The procedures are there for a reason.

Well Lando put people in DANGER with the avorted start thingy, which is unacceptable. He needs to know the procedures to ensure the security of all people involved, especially as the leader of the pack in this case. He also messed up his starts/restarts every time and made the wrong call for the red flag, insisting to pit earlier.. that was pretty poor Oscar also didn’t have a great race, having contact with Liam which resulted in a 10s pen and going off once, but he played the team game by slowing down and letting Lando by instead of staying in front and giving himself a better chance to maintain a 10s gap to Yuki They were both pretty underwhelming in the gp but I’d still either give Oscar the edge, or give them the same grade
