Good to see Merc back in the fight! Everyone has a long way to go to catch Redbull, but still makes it more interesting.
The Yuki penalty was bs. Zhou tried to push, and didn't have enough to make it through, but it was clean racing until the appeal to the stewards. Really poor call there.
I really appreciate the team game that Alonso is playing. I really feel like he is trying to make stroll a better and more relaxed driver. He's like the supportive uncle.
Alonso knows they aren't winning the championship, so he's playing the nice guy. If he thought at title was on, even the slimmest chance, I suspect we see the selfish monster come out that all F1 drivers have.
I just hope we get to see it!
That'd be the dream! One can hope
This is such a weird take to me, did you watch Ant's analysis in the Sky post-race show? Zhou was solidly a wheel ahead before turn-in, and maintained that through the apex and until the contact. Tsunoda understeered from the apex of the first half of the chicane straight to the opposite white-line in the second half of the chicane. Had Zhou stayed in it, he'd have been driven 4-wheels off track from a car that's a wheel behind.
Tsunoda wasn't a jerk about it, he wasn't trying to bully Zhou off-track. But...
I like Yuki, but this seems fairly textbook. The only way he was keeping that position was running Zhou wide, the job was done by turn-in but Yuki carried too much speed for Zhou to stay in the fight long enough for the movement to play out.
