How did MAX escape a penalty for completely blocking Stroll at the end of the straight on his last Q3 lap ? Fatherhood bonus ? ( I know it's stroll and it doesn't matter, but.. rules?)
Kudos to Kimi. If only Ferrari could join the fray now, it would be a fantastic season ! Last edited by Deschodt; 05-02-2025 at 02:08 PM.. |

I wonder if Lewis is wishing he stayed with Mercedes? It should be an interesting sprint race to see if Kimi can stay on the lead lap.

Amazing sprint qualifying!
Yes Max should have been penalized, and he also stopped Yuki from starting a lap too.

That is pure crap, it wasn’t he was too slow he impeded someone on a hot lap. Let’s just call it a baby shower gift…

Please explain how Max can be a full wheel length over the pit box and “no further action is required”?
This sport is starting to turn into boxing… I will say most exciting sprint race in a while. Sad for Kimi though

Am I wrong?
At the first corner of the first lap, Kimi complained that Piastri pushed him off the track (edit: the replay showed there was no way Kimi was making that first corner anyway with his early apex, so moot point). But his radio transmission suggested he thought it was Oscar being unfair. Heck, if I was young Kimi, I would have held my line, made the corner, and hit Oscar. Oscar has more to lose than Kimi. Oscar's fighting for a championship where every point may count. Kimi just wants to have a good rookie season. Maintain your line, hit Oscar today, and maybe it'll ruin your sprint race, but it'll show Oscar that Kimi's not to be pushed around. It's early in the year. Oscar will think twice any time he's up against Kimi for the rest of the season. Not suggesting for Kimi to go out of his way to hit Oscar. But if he truly felt he was being pushed off, he should have maintained two wheels within track limits and sent Oscar a message.

Max hitting Kimi. Liam hitting Fernando. Both ridiculous.
Max's lollipop man: You've got one job. Liam **off the track** and hitting Fred. I'm reminded of that t-shirt slogan: There's a race and you're not even in it.

Everything about F1 is top notch--the pinnacle of racing--except for the officiating, which sucks.

Piastri got screwed in the Sprint.
Still need to watch race qualifying.

Bizarre sprint race, and interesting qualifying. The real race tomorrow will be interesting.

Great race, those McLarens are fast!
Nice to see max not on the podium, he is such a dirty driver. WTH is going on with Ferrari?!

It's really difficult to understand what Ferrari were thinking with today's strategy . They seem to be imploding under the pressure of the lack of performance . They need to get the ship turned around pretty quick or heads may roll .
