Next race supposedly could be LAW's last chance... it would be hilarious if RB swapped their current driver lineup on both teams along with their race strategists given how VCARB as a team so far has done better in qualifying - at least until the race when the bad strategy and bad luck kicks in.
Nope! Seems LAW will be back at Racing Bulls and TSU will go over to RB starting at Suzuka. My condolences to TSU's career if he can't make it work (even though it will make it even more clear to all that the problem would be primarily with the car). I wish them luck.

my opinion: the RedBull is extremly difficult to drive with a loose rear. Lawson is not comfortable with this kind of setup, and neither will be Tsunoda or Hadjar.

[340Duster]

The swap to bring Tsunoda into the second Red Bull is confirmed.

Tsunodas career ender

that was the most boring race I can remember of....even the boring Monaco events were thrillers in opposite to this snoozefest

[MrH]

Very uneventful race.
Mabe they should've had some grass fires.

[340Duster]

I can't believe I stayed up to watch that disappointment. It's confusing when drivers call it a favorite circuit, yet it's beyond boring to watch.

Alpine finally scored points. Every team scored this season. Is this the fastest?
Berman 20th to 10th.
Yuki not a bad job today.
Max loses a total of 8 seconds because of faulty pit light.
Dive bomber Sianz.
When will Alonso score points?
At least ther was some passing.

Next races:
Saudi
Miami
San Marino
Monaco

Basiclly follow the leader races.

Max gets pole as Norris walls it.
Is he trying to give away the WDC ?

[torquemada]

Norris is mentally not a "stable genius", he needs a mental coach. Piastri on the other hand is pissing ice cubes.

I caught some of this today. Good race!

[hi5.0]

Glad to see Williams getting 2 cars in the points. Was worried for SAI there. And finally a Ferrari on the podium.
IMO NOR may not be handling the pressure of going for the WDC too well. I can see the driver's championship fight as being between VER and PIA.
Have to say ANT and HAD are the real deal. Both have impressed me so far.
Seems TSU has a bit of a handle on the RB21, shame he hasn't been able to do more with it on race day.

I agree it was a racing incident, but it was sad to not be able to see what Yuki could do with a decent qualifying result.
