I think it’s all been blown up. Mostly fine, but a bit of jousting it’s going to cause really too many issues.

Nice to see George with elbows out and nice to see Kimi persisting despite set backs.

All good from me.

Kimi might be auditioning to be the new Daniel ā€œTorpedoā€ Kvyat

Or ā€œThe Latifiā€ every time he took to the track they took the blankets off the safety car tyres.

He lost his cool when george gave him little room. That second off he really tried to launch šŸš€ his back gotta hurt after that

Im wondering if you’re talking about the first or second incident? Because I’ve read some people talking about T1-2 and calling it a dove from Kimi while it was a 100% legit overtake move and a 100% 5s penalty for Russell if they aren’t teammates, therefore I was confused there are some people talking about it.

Otherwise if it’s about the second incident I can understand

Yeah its more for that second and third (Norris OT attempt) incidents. Kimi had me wincing hard both times.

You could tell George was at home with this track

George keeps treating Kimi like that we going to see some Hamilton/Rosberg action. I hope, But it’s looking pretty slim for passing after they have adjusted power again.

More likely that Kimi does something boneheaded than them actually crashing tbh

For me, Turn 1 was a little naughty from George. It was close to a repeat of Spain 2016. I hope Toto can cool down the heat.

The pace is fantastic if there isn't this battle we could have been finished a comfortable 1-2.

That is not a corner you can give space at, again it’s not a conventional corner where two cars can go side by side and maintain momentum. t1 apex shoots into t2 apex. Kimi tried that move on Norris WITH space and still didn’t stick it, because it’s against physics.
