As an Oscar fan this was one of the races of the season for me. Charles is an excellent driver the pressure on Oscar was insane. Lando even though I don’t really like him drove a superb race deserved all the plaudits he got. Oscar is providing some of the overtakes of the season, he must be watching old Danny Ric highlights 😂

[@LawVS]

Oscar converted it on the third attempt in a dogfight against Charles. In one season. This progression is crazy. Hopefully this race is enough to silence critics about tyre management. Sure, he's not perfect but on those hard tyres he was smart.

[@iLevente]

Don't feel like an idiot. Pretty much anybody who makes it into F1 these days are incredible drivers. But, maybe not in F1. Logan could be a really good driver in some other category.

[@gilded_lady]

Don't. Logan is a likable guy and his relationship with Williams got really iffy for most of the season. It's a bit of human nature to think that maybe he's better than what we've seen. I was pulling for him too! F1 wasn't for him, but hoping he finds success elsewhere

Oscar is the highest points scorer over the last 10 races. Oscar 169 points Lando 153 points Max 152 points. If he had a better Japanese and Chinese GP's and didn't have bad luck in miami where he could have easily won the race instead of getting no points due to bad luck of vsc and sainz damaging his car he would be around 45 to 50 points away from max. He was also unlucky in Austria with track limis in qualifying, unlucky at Imola with a penalty in quali due to his team, unlucky in Silverstone due to his team not pitting him, and unlucky at Spa and Monza due to team strategy. He and Max have been the most impressive drivers this year imo.

[@loseweightusingketo]

[@sellojuniorhlalele2411]

16:02 LawVs, I would argue that Perez should be put into the winners category. Even though he didn't finish the race, he outclassed Max the whole weekend and that is a very to hard to do. If it wasn't for the shenanigans at towards the end of the race, Podium was guaranteed. I think you are been a bit harsh on him

Piastri raced his ass off. Absolutely stellar drive from him. Not too big a McLaren fan but the drive he put in was a masterpiece. Colapinto scoring more points than Sargeant did in 1.5 seasons on the grid & people still feel sorrow for that man ? He was the issue. Albon has even had better performances since his departure. The sainz & Perez crash IMO was a racing incident that sealed the fate of Red Bull’s constructors championship.. unless there’s a race where both McLarens are wrecked or out of point scoring positions. George ran a clean race.. he earned his place on the podium.. can’t wait for Singapore 🇸🇬 this should be interesting 🙂‍↔️

There was a big difference with Mark Webber time at Red Bull Racing, Helmut Marko and Dietrich Mateschitz (Red Bull owner) made it clear that Sebastian Vettel was their preferred driver. Mark was very close to winning the 2010 Drivers’ Championship. At least Zak Brown and Andrea Stella have given both drivers equal equipment and let them race, except for the Miami GP.

[@exF3-86]

Oscar's made his point now. The title is a long shot for him so we will resume normal transmission at McLando- for this year... Kudos to Oscar and Charles for good clean hard racing. No smoking lockups, no pushing wide, no bump and grind.

[@WH0oo...]

You're foolish. Two successful races with audacious overtakes and sticking it, allows him to pick and choose when he wants to help. He is a smart guy, and he makes his decisions on advancing his position first and if it helps teammate/team, that's secondary. Alpine taught him an invaluable lesson.

[@Bikerz_rule]

During the early part of this season, while Sky Sports were going on about Lando (no British driver bias surely?!), I said to F1 fan friends that Oscar is a better driver and not because he's hugely quicker than Lando (I think they're quite level with maybe Lando edging it on outright speed) but because he has a strong mentality. He's very self aware and knows his strengths and he's only going to get better. You don't often see a driver soak up pressure for 30+ laps without making a mistake. If this was Lando or Lewis, Sky Sports would be gushing endlessly- with Oscar were definitely looking at WC material.

[@alaricpether2930]

Lando is really great ... but he needs to be worried. Oscar's learning curve is just meteoric. Every race he's developing ... and he's ice cold. Nothing phases him. He just goes about doing his thing.

[@BryTee]

Watching the dashcams I believe a major factor was Sainz and Perez had the Sun in their eyes. Yesterday I had the same issue, even with good sunglasses and a sunvisor, the road ahead became impossible to see, luckily I was on the road alone.

[@desshinnick9365]

Nice thought.

[@valerierodger]

That might explain not being able to see the road ahead very well, but Checo would have absolutely been able to see the rear wing of the Ferrari when it was 2 feet from him

[@desshinnick9365]

Sergio Perez - I have been supportive but man, I see you as 100% at fault given you were behind and could see where Sainz was. You blew your race for what? You didn't want to be 4th? That was a fail of epic proportions.

[@christopheroconnor7659]

[@iliketoast-q9b]

​@@LawVS Your bias is showing. Had it not been Perez everyone would have been saying "What a race, so unlucky though". But because it's Perez it's ok to be all negative I guess. Besting your teammate, a certain Max Verstappen, is something to show for. Had the crash not happened P4 would have been a given with a possible P3, way in front of Max either way. RB will be 2nd in the constructors anyway.

[@AS-bl5qy]

@@LawVSIn any case, I think the loser is Redbull and not Perez per se, he did a tremendous race, like you said so yourself, he outclassed Verstappen, who until recently, everyone thought was invincible and so skillful that could make a bad car a winner one, now we are seeing the reality that that is not the case. So I would say that he personally won more than he lost, he’s prooving that he is not “washed up” as many people were saying, but as a team member the loss was significant.

[@frankhuurman3955]

as a fan of Max, Checo drove the hell out of him this weekend. Definitely in the winners list even though he crashed out since his pace was just so good

[@desshinnick9365]

Perez ran a brilliant race for 49 laps. I am supportive of him but even I think he deserved the loser tag. He was 100% at fault for what happened. He was behind and could see where Carlos was. Carlos could not see what he was doing. Perez threw the race away because he did not want to give up third. He got taken cleanly by Sainz. (Edit: I assume ) Red Bull, Horner, Marko all know Perez blew it. Just amateurish.

[@freyalove3831]

I beg to differ with Checo. Even Redbull are behind points in constructor championship. Checo performed well the whole race until the last two laps. He took a risk in overtaking. I don't think he will lose the seat because of this race, it shows Checo still has it.

I think the Sainz / Checco incident, Checco was trying to defend the inside line but hit the accellerator a fraction slower to Carlos which resulted in the accident. Carlos's left rear accellerated into Checco's right front which cause the "veer" to the left. Racing incident indeed IMO

[@666Buzzsaw]

What the hell were you watching because that isn’t what happened at all!! Checo had the run on the inside after Carlos went deep trying to be greedy and go for Charles straight away. Carlos then came left into Checo. It’s clearly visible from the overhead view. Checo only had to leave Carlos enough space so as to not push him into the wall which he did. Although definitely not deliberate, the contact was definitely caused by Carlos moving left.

[@DanielVieira49]

I don't think Pérez's situation got worse within the team after that race. He put the RB20 realistically in the win fight while Max Verstappen was struggling in P7. Obviously it would be way better if the crash with Sainz didn't happen, but the fact that the team really seems to be blaming Carlos for the crash, even internally, considering all Horner and Marko have said until now. Checo is once again getting closer and closer to Max since Hungary, and Baku was the apex (as expected). And it is a very good moment for Checo to be getting better, since we have Singapore, COTA, Mexico and Brazil on the sight (all tracks in wich Pérez has a good history). I think Pérez is handling the RedBull struggle way better than some could expect and that he is progressivaly laying down the risk of being dropped after 2024.

[@WH0oo...]

You had me until the last part. Way too soon. He goes in streaks and it seems the car is more to his liking, but it comes at a significant cost to RDB true bread winner. So he'll need to step up quick and have one of his great races for the next 7 GPs.

James Vowles has certainly been vindicated so far at least. We'll see if Franco keeps this form up for the rest of the year. I was a tad disappointed Leclerc didn't win but that being said, I was super impressed by Piastri and he absolutely deserved that win. The way Oscar sent it on Charles into T1 and the way he just absorbed the pressure for Charles for 30 odd laps was magnificent. I think I'm on board the Piastri hype train now!

Couple of things for me. This has been the greatest race so far this season. Where did that Williams come from? The Checo/Sainz incident was just so weird, two people driving their line without regard to what the other one is doing. Piastri is the papaya way forward, coming from a redbull fan.

[@86wezza88]

From what I heard, Sainz' drift across was exactly what he did each lap leading up to the crash which is part of why he didn't get any penalty for it. He just didn't know Checo was necessarily there already. Ultimately I think it was just a racing incident. Sainz wasn't defending, just moving as he had done on other laps and didn't see Checo until right before impact. And Checo didn't move across to avoid it either. Either driver could have avoided it if they were more aware/proactive to the situation. As an Aussie, I'm loving that we are getting more people in F1 now and that Piastri seems to definitely have the potential to win a championship at some point. He has improved a lot faster than I think anyone expected.

Oscar has zero haters, the man is a joy to watch. He’s gonna be dangerous next year

[@crazycracka71]

Oscar is awesome and I’m a Ferrari fan. Lol

[@066kshitizvsingh4]

Give it a few seasons when he starts winning everything

[@pauloaz496]

We got Mark Webber 2 before Alonso's third championship

[@andrewhazlewood4569]

There are a lot of Lando fans who still show Oscar hate in the comments.

[@Vislow]

​@@andrewhazlewood4569There are 5 times as many Lando haters

[@mikereyes2269]

I find it hilarious that people quickly come up with 'cheating' allegations whenever a team brings innovations that are within the rules, I mean these teams pay MILLIONS for engineers to find loopholes and gain advantage while being in the confines of the rules. It's the name of the game, as long as it's passing the FIA testing, it's fair game. A team that's not trying to gain advantages and find loopholes is not playing the game correctly.

[@stuartroberts4353]

Absolutely spot on.

[@fatmangoboom7722]

They had to beg for Lando to give Oscar a win! Man this race would have been a thousand times better as Oscar’s first win! Instead his first win will be a gifted win!

[@cellsentinel239]

Honestly red bull fall off is insane. Max has a actual chance of losing the wdc if lando gets 9pts avg on every gp. I know Max is somewhat loyal to red bull but regardless loyalties are questioned in hard times

[@LawVS]

As Lewis once said regarding McLaren in the 2010s, "Loyalty has its limits."

[@cellsentinel239]

@@LawVS exactly they said the same for a lot of drivers but circumstances bend and sometimes shatter loyalties and promises

[@BruceKarrde]

Maybe Max will do the logical thing and before the 2026 season. He's already done and won it all. I don't think he wants to become a "nostalgia" driver like Alonso. What I mean with that is that he joins a "promising" team that barely delivers, and every now and then Alonso shows a move that reminds us of his past. Max still has some years left in him - but maybe 10-15 years is enough. Let's get some fresher drivers, instead of hoping for a return of Vettel or Raikonen XD

[@066kshitizvsingh4]

​​@@BruceKarrdeWhy would Max leave before the new regulations? Especially when he A. he does have a contract till 2028. and B. only talks about potentially leaving F1 after said contract expires.

[@Cononized]

Helps when the FIA is babysitting McLaren who’s front and back wings clearly break regulations explicitly.

[@tristanskipworth4377]

You should go to the Singapore gp and chug a pint with Franco. He’s still young and un jaded by the fame enough that he would 100% do it😂

[@tonamg53]

Can we take a moment to appreciate the dedication of climbing up the ladder to talk to us about F1 in the attic?

[@Charles-jk5px]

I've said it before, on other comment sections, that it was going to be Haas vs Williams for "best of the rest" finishing out this season. Williams did the best thing for them by replacing Sergeant with Colapinto, as we can presently see from the results. If Haas can, honestly, do the same with Bearman, then we can see similar things. In the end, it would be spectacular to witness...

[@TheAwsomeSawse]

I was very sad to see Logan Sargent leave and I thought it was silly to replace him halfway through the season but I was immediately proven wrong.

[@CodeEleven_86]

LawVS not bringing up sauber is really telling something about that team and their current branding lol

[@mpfab131]

Ladies, Find a man that talks about you the way law talks about Oscar

[@TheSarcasticEngineer]

I was gutted for Perez and Sainz. I think they both played chicken and both found out. But I don't get why everyone thinks Perez is about to go. Redbull aren't the hot ticket now, the scandals, the exodus, the technical issues, they can't just sack drivers, they've been too aggressive, clearly. They need stability. Also, Colapinto: that must be quite bitter for Sarge. I think the complexities of F1 driving are more than they appear, that guy would smash almost everyone on a track day but he clearly can't keep up with F1. I don't think there should be any shame in that, he still reached the supposed pinnacle of racing. Some v8 or indie team would probably snap him up.

[@cococalm]

For all the childish conspriacy theorists ...... there is absolutely no interest for MB to "sabotage" LH in any way. They need the prize money from the Constructors Championship ..... if they chip away at that total by having 2 cars in the points consistently, they can finish 3rd, which, IMO is the best they could hope for this year though 4th is probably what they will achieve. They do not have a horse in the race for the Drivers Championship. "Sabotaging" LH will drop them behind AM ...... You really have to be stupid, if not absolutely stark raving mad, to think MB would shoot themselves in the foot in such a manner ......

[@LawVS]

Precisely. Red Bull look incredibly shaky and if things continue the way they are, Mercedes can get the spread to them under 100 points which would be a major boost in confidence going into 2025.

[@desshinnick9365]

Stroll to race engineers - "This is not a car" Race engineers - ???? wondering what does that even mean. That is some really useful feedback there. I wonder if they respond with "okay" or said nothing.

[@Reece_Hart]

I feel for Checo this weekend. Finally a weekend where he completely outperforms Max and then it ends like that. As an Aussie I was absolutely chuffed with Oscar. Carn Piastri

[@Crunchy_Troll]

Franco needs a seat He has the look the appeal he’s got that it factor Get that guy on the grid

[@jilesbrouwer6052]

Alonso winner! 6th is a lot of pts for AM

[@LawVS]

Alonso is great when he's happy

[@freyalove3831]

​@@LawVS yes, also won with a tractor.

[@staLkerhu]

The funny thing that no one says out is Leclerc got beaten by Piastri the EXACT SAME way Leclerc beated Perez in Vegas last year. It was clearly his fault...

[@cococalm]

I am really looking forward to the mid year upgrades next year ... Aston Martin are going to be very interesting to watch. I have money on Alonso is going to get his 33rd + for sure ....

[@exoterric]

"lick the stamp and send it" lol How have I never heard this gem?

[@frankw8772]

Will Williams and Haas beat RB in the team championship table, Will RED BULL be beaten by Macl , Ferrari , Macadies ?

[@justgary2471]

I was telling my wife that Oscar drives like an aged Kimi. Cold as balls. Brother gonna be a problem. Only going to get better.

[@siloPIRATE]

6:38 you know what that race needs. A safety car in the dying laps brought on by a Williams crashing. Then we can have a motor race

[@floopygoober]

Ladders AND cola chugging? This is the future of f1 journalism ❤

[@MahF1V10]

It looks like this solidified getting rid of Logan. Good for Williams. Sad for Logan however. Hopefully he finds something else where.

[@bertram-raven]

The people calling out the "Mini DRS" on the McLaren do realise it has been on the Mercedes since mid 2023? No! Time to go to Specsavers.

[@just_dom144]

We know what Law’s doing in his time off. 🍻

[@snivels]

... and yet people cried foul of the asymmetric braking, and it was amended in the rule book in one weekend.

[@066kshitizvsingh4]

TBF to Albon. Being outqualified wasnt exactly his fault with the fan

[@desshinnick9365]

Yep and Williams deserve to be in the losers for that. And in the winners for what they did to the care and bringing Colapinto in.

[@bladebolt]

Can we talk about how bro just absolutely smashed that cola

[@bertram-raven]

The double diffuser was created by Mark Preston for the SA09 which Brawn took and pretended it was theirs. There is a reason the Brawn movie was made by Disney.
