Well feel bad for you guys. We had an amazing battle last 2 years between Red Bull and Mclaren. And now we both have problems for nearly every race.

Why not? Free pitstop, serve the penalty, put on softs.

Great call, especially as Gasly stayed out.

A shame it was a red flag, so tire advantage against hards will be gone.

Did Gasly still have his 5 (10?) sec penalty after red?

Could Piastri get a potential podium with all these penalties?

There is a realistic hope.

There is a realistic hope Piastri can get even a podium.

Antonelli also needs to start well, if it is a standing start.

What a crazy end to a super boring race.

Crazy race. Good job to Piastri for 4th. Is Hadjar still under investigation?

Mercedes did face reliability issue (electricals switched off) in Canada, there is no way they are going to reveal what exactly it is, to Mclaren (even though 2-3 engineers from HPP Brixworth are 'loaned' to McLaren, they won't be told the root cause of the problems, because the engine buying contract doesn't make it mandatory, as per my understanding). So McLaren will need to 'peel the onion' which Mercedes already did.

Out of curiosity. Is Hadjar under investigation or did he escape a possible penalty.
