Red Bull: We tried to find a way to cheat but couldn't do it without getting caught, now we want to complain because other teams might have tried the same thing.

They haven't got long!
Logan Sergeant right now.
Well that was a rollercoaster!
They haven’t got long!
confirmed not starting 🙁
Here's the starting grid, Williams haven't officially withdrawn Albon. Is there some benefit to them to keep him on the grid even though they know he won't start?
1st: Norris
2nd: Russell
3rd: Tsunoda
4th: Ocon
5th: Lawson
6th: Leclerc
7th: Albon (DNS)
8th: Piastri
9th: Alonso
10th: Stroll
11th: Bottas
12th: Perez
13th: Gasly
14th: Hamilton
15th: Bearman
16th: Colapinto
17th: Verstappen
18th: Hulkenberg
19th: Zhou
Pitlane: Sainz
Lol stroll! What a lemon
Oh Lance. You muppet.
Classic Stroll!
Aston Marten mechanics right now.
Bloody hell Stroll...loses it on warm up lap, keeps engine running, then drives into gravel to breach himself ?
So what are they gonna do, penalise the entire front half of the grid?
Lando needs to get past George pretty soon or he’ll have Max on his gearbox.
Lol can't believe how unlucky George and lando were there. They're right to be fuming
It’s not luck, it’s bad management.
Can’t remember where I read it but it was commented that todays F1 teams are run by very clever people but they aren’t racers. They don’t live and breath motorsport like the teams of old. So they make strategy mistakes that seem obvious.
Norris doesn’t deserve this championship - so many mistakes.
And another Norris mistake.
Hard to deny that Verstappen deserves the title this year.
Perez struggling to pass Lawson just seals the deal for next year, surely.

Drive of the season, as much as it pains me to say it!

Who, Verstappen sealing the title or Perez sealing his retirement?
I’m still not sure whether Lawson or Tsunodo would do much better than Checo.
Lawson needs a full season of learning and Tsunoda just doesn’t excite.
If, as has been rumoured, a deal for
Sainz to go to Red Bull and Collapinto to stay at Williams is true then IMO a Max/Carlos line up would be the strongest pairing available to them.
What a Race and what a pleasure to watch Verstappen showing just how Gifted he is .

I read that rumour too...I find it hard to believe, not least cos Sainz Snr and Verstappen Snr hate eachother and Redbull don't want that hassle.
Yup, great drives from the top four—hats off to Max for that performance on a day when even Alonso and Hamilton couldn’t keep it on the track. (Though Hamilton’s Mercedes looked like an absolute dog all weekend. ) That’s pretty much sealed the WDC and it’s hard to deny that Max deserves it. Should be an interesting five-way fight next year though.
showing just how Gifted he is
He was gifted it alright.
Only seen the highlights which give no idea of what actually happened but sounds like it was a great drive. I can't stand him but it did look to have been a great drive and none of the overtakes looked like his usual divebombing so hats off to the lad. Well deserved.
The less said about Norris the better - certainly needs to practice some starts.
He seems to lack the racers killer instinct to not miss any opportunity.
Lando needs to work on his humility too.
Got to admit that was a fantastic drive by MV yesterday, others were trying too hard, he just stayed out of trouble and drove. I don't like RB and some of their/his tactics but he's a bloody good driver.
Gutted that Norris' title bid is effectively over but IMO his head had gone when the red flag came and he lost the places because of the pit stop and other got freebies.
It was said that drivers need to make the call in that weather but Lando was asking the team too much and trying to palm the decision off to them rather than stomping his authority when they were asking him for his opinion. Showed a lack of experience from him and the team.
Hopefully the McLaren is still good next year and they can have another go from day one with fresh heads and some valuable experience.
Likewise only watched the 'extended' 20min highlights from Sky F1 on YT but Max's drive was one of champion quality. Still a douchebag that I can'tr stand, but a douchebag who can drive without doubt. Still not sure that drive counters all the crappy on-track behaviours from him over the past season to deserve the title, but in the absence of a stronger competitor he's the most deserving to be champion.
Looked very difficult racing conditions indeed. Respect to all drivers for racing in that.
The race showed that there's still a gulf in skill between Verstappen and Norris. Lost the lead off the line, couldn't get past Russell, off the track twice. OTOH Max scythed through the traffic, got lucky* with the red flag, overtakes Ocon, gone.
*or just figured it was worth the risk of staying out with the conditions getting steadily worse
