Random thing, what the hell is the Sky Sports cameraman doing in these post race chats? They're shoving the camera right into the face of whoever is talking. It's really weird and off-putting.
@themightyant I got that from Sky Sports website.
I felt sorry for George — he deserved better from this race!
I hope this proves to be worth getting up at a silly hour for. Decided to sleep through most of the buildup though.
Back to reality. Incredibly boring at the front as usual. Was hilarious seeing Perez six laps down for one lap though.
Double McLaren podium. Great result.
@KAIRU same as the season. Very boring at the front, Max in a race with himself, Perez getting himself into trouble and failing, exciting racing behind.
@BearsEatBeets Also got up at stupid o clock but thought it was an Ok race behind P1. I thought George’s one stop might have worked at one point, but he faded, and Merc were stuck between decisions and left him exposed. If they genuinely thought Lewis could have caught Charles they needed to do the switch immediately, but waited a few laps and then made the wrong call. Impressed that George instinctively knew the right strategy from the cockpit in the last laps. Big brain thinking.

@KAIRU @themightyant yeah not a particularly exciting race, especially after the last one.
It's strange I felt like it seemed quite quickly George's one stop wasn't going to workout and maybe they could switched back to a 2 and really push hard with fresher tyres.

One thing I thought was odd but not touched on during the race, I'm
