If charles ever going to be champ he need to keep crashes under control

I saw on Instagram his computer caused the crash. A surge in engine power at the wrong time.
It's exactly what I thought listening to Brundle say that he tried to power out of the slide, but watching the onboard you can hear he stays off throttle. The car clearly accelerated though.

We've seen this kind of automated rubbish quite a few times this season, and Charles isn't the first crasher because of it.

I expect his power unit "thought" the car was a few meters further ahead on the exit of the, corner.

I hope the drivers are talking about it behind the scenes.

Hopefully Hamilton's tires will die soon so we get some racing between Antonelli and Russell.

Yeah, not a race for on track action today. Pure strategy and management this one.

Tyres are like cheese.

Pirelli can’t win. If they bring hard compounds one stops are the norm, everyone complains. They bring softer tyres, everyone stops 2/3 times but a tyre management fest ensues. Everyone complains.

Agree. Hamilton used up his tyres very early. Thats why they shifted to 3-pit-stop. I think he could have fight with Norris without VSC

Why is Lewis doing Fastest Lap? The tyres have last another 20 laps, they need to get on the radio and tell him to manage
