2026 Scuderia Ferrari HP F1 Team

I think this is partly on Lewis as well. He seemed to get caught up in his frustration with the lap and lost concentration, rather than paying attention to his mirrors. He is sloppy when it comes to procedural stuff like yellow flags, impeding, etc and relies on the team for info more than other drivers do.

Santini did tell Lewis about Oscar pushing but didn't say the gap, at the same time was talking about a yellow flag (which was behind him) and Lewis was looking for it ahead of him. I have to ask why Lewis was on the racing line though because if you don't know the gap you just play it safe and stay off the racing line.

Penalty is likely P5 on the clean side with a new set of soft tyres and a long run to turn one. Still a podium up for grabs tomorrow.

Don't all drivers get the same info via the race engineer or do they know what's going on behind them?

The didn't say anything to Lewis until he exited turn 1, and by then it was far to late. I was in his onboard.

You sure it wasn't delayed on the onboard feed? because the message was:

S: Oscar pushing
S: Yellow Flag Yellow Flag
L: Where's Piastri?
S. Behind. Yellow Flag.
L: Where's Yellow Flag?
L: Was Oscar on a lap or?

listen for yourself, even if it was delayed by 5 or 6 seconds it was far to late.


Even fred said it was to late.

We never seem to quite nail quali these days - real shame as the car seemed to be close enough, with only Norris able to challenge. Still all to play for in the race, even for Lewis, I think, especially if he can make a place or two at the start. But we could potentially have started 1-2 and you kinda get the impression another team might be able to pull that out if they had a general advantage.
