Lance is an idiot, was what i came waway with from this race. But since I was already aware of this fact, I learned nothing. Lawrence is going to have a decision because Honda has already hinted that he will not be driving for them when they supply engines. IMHO he's keeping that seat warm for Yuki.

At least we were finally treated to a close race and lots of suspense. As long as you discount the podium positions. Nobody cares about those spots.

With Daddy Strulovitch selling minority shares to the team he may have to respond to investor needs even before Honda needs.

So ...
- Alonso gets it wrong and bumps wheels with Sainz in the Sprint, with no consequences to Sainz, and ending his own race. He gets 10s and 3 points on his license, for something we've frequently seen not even get investigated or go unpenalized in GPs. - Sainz completely ignores the apex en route to causing a collision with hios teammate. No penalty. - Stroll drives into the back of RIC in the GP because he wasn't paying attention, ending RIC's race and damaging another car. 10s and only 2 points. - KMag literally drives all the way across the track and ends Yuki's race when he had all the room in the world. In the GP. 10s and 2 points.
How does any of that make any sense?
Oh, and KMag is just bad. That collision late was particularly terrible. People talk about taking seats from guys like Fernando or Lewis to make room for young new drivers, lol. I would suggest they're looking at the wrong end of the grid.
Then you have Sargeant getting to the safety car line a millisecond after Hulkenberg but passing him on pit exit. Penalty: 10s and 2 points. The fact that he got the same penalty as Magnussen and Stroll for something that wasn't his fault (no way he would have seen it, the team needed to tell him) is a joke.
What a shitshow.

In other news, man, Aston Martin should have put Fernando back on medium tires during that SC, but his run on mediums at the end was absolutely epic and almost covered that mistake. He was a rocket, and the save on the front straight ... just wow. Should have been a Code Brown moment, but Fernando didn’t miss a beat. Immediately pressed the DRS button and got after Lewis.

And in the last race we had Alonso getting the penalty because Russell didn't pay attention to the track ahead and wrecked himself when he was surprised by Alonso's location. Russell & Alonso never touched.

I was floored that Alonso got a penalty for a tiny touch when both were pretty even on the track. Even if they'd both carried on like normal (Alonso got the flat, Sainz did claim his car was damaged) it was a simple bump in essentially the middle of the track where both were fighting. That type of touch seems expected.

When you're that old and experienced there are no more simple bumps.

That type of touch seems expected. It was racing - nothing more and nothing less. The imposition of a penalty indicates that the Stewards don't want racing - they want a parade.

I agree, and I think Lawrence sells a solid stake to Aramco do avoid looking like the guy who sacked his son
