Max drove around the kerbs and still won.

Well yes, evidence that the RBR still has the pace in hand even if it's pegged back a little sometimes. Max did take the kerbs a few times but quickly decided against it - but I suppose had he been faced with needing to find a little extra pace, he could have taken them more often if he really needed to.

Loved Albons double over take something you rarely see in F1. Was an enjoyable race to watch.
Perez needs to be fired though!

The F1 pages remain weird I see. Its a popularity contest between motorsport geeks. I think some human interaction might be helpful to a lot of folk on here.

Couldn't agree more!

But at least the race was unpredictable, so one of the better ones to watch.

If Max is avoiding kerbs then he's obviously driving a longer track to everyone else, I just hope that RBR can't sort the kerbs out.....

Exactly! Which is great for everyone else in terms of getting closer, but unless the circuit is very kerb dense, it seems he still has enough to win despite driving an extra 20 odd metres a lap. Pfft.

When you think about it... it's actually ridiculous to have such a pace advantage.

ETA: Although I am very grateful that there's at least something closing the gap, even if it is just a reliance on suspension so firm that some circuits don't work, even if most still do..

It's more about carrying speed by straightening the corners...

Will Buxton claiming RB telling Perez to limp the damaged car back to the pits to help Max win was similar to Crashgate, that the punishment was light

Will Buxton proving why he's hard of thinking.

That does seem rather overblown from Buxton.

Watching the replay, Perez moved off again straight away after the spin, and reported a few seconds later that something was wrong with the rear suspension. He said “Bring it back”, and the team replied “Yes bring it back please” almost immediately. The team then gave him regular updates about cars and gaps behind, to keep him out of the way of others before he came to the pits.

My suspicion is that the RD told the team to park the car, and the message mysteriously got lost in the Red Bull communications channels and never made it to Perez.

We got a safety car half a lap later anyway, when Sainz went off in exactly the same place as Perez, and took out an unfortunate Alex Albon.

He referenced crashgate, he can't believe it's 'similar' though.

There's a big difference between deliberately causing a crash vs not responding to one in the safest way possible, for the sake of competitive advantage.

I suppose the biggest difference is the former is premeditated, whereas the latter was just a selfish and inappropriate response to something that came out of the blue.

Yep, protecting a lead is normal. I would think all teams would do it, except for Ferrari who would retire the lead car "just in case". Perez would not know the extent of the damage and just followed directives from those that could see.

And I suppose they can spin it as a heat of the moment thing, the extent of the damage wasn't fully realised until after the call was made, there was confusion etc etc etc. Fairly easy to make a bunch of mitigating excuses after the event and humbly accept a slap on the wrists level penalty.

In terms of poor and selfish decision making that 'could' create unnecessary dangers, it's no worse than a driver making an ill-judged pass attempt. Ocon...
