Norris was doing pretty ok. Sainz doesnt have it today.

Carlos hasn’t been happy with his setup since the beginning... Lando’s pace was actually a match to RIC (on older soft tires) and faster than Perez before his engine issues started.

Not too concerned honestly and I’m quiet optimistic of what the car will be able to deliver once they have a chance to work on the setup as they should

We got to hurry though to deliver as we lost the 3rd place for now. As for RP congratulations being 3rd with just copy pasting another ones car. Must be very proud. Shame I must say for F1.

Almost fallen to 5th now...both drivers are fast enough to retain third, but something happens all the time.

Sainz had the new package and he made it through the race. So they have alot of data now.

High Downforce package might get better after this.

Please stop with this juvenile remarks. It is what it is. They got their penalty and copying of cars is banned for 21 season. We all know what happened and we dont need to be reminded after every race when they beat Mclaren.

It is what it is but that doesn't mean it's right. Still a light penalty. That is my honest opinion. Well on to the next race.

The biggest issue is Renault. Reliability is simply not there when needed. The biggest irony is that engine manages to fail when they fight at the sharp end. Simply bad luck.

They'd argue that it was a pretty strong penalty for something they did that there WAS no rule against.

They probably have the best PU Reliability this year.

Perhaps they would but they are now stained in the eyes of the fans and the spirit of competition.

Pretty sure their fans think it's brilliant. Morally it's kind of shitty, In reality it isn't any different than the Merc DAS system.

Now out of curiosity. Let's say next year we are gonna bring a full aerodynamic package will that count as tokens?

Cant wait to get rid of the Renault Engine and go to where we should have been all this time Mclaren Mercedes.

But the timing of failures is ironic.

When you are a team that are like McLaren is this year, running in the points week in week out, there is never a good time to have a PU failure.

The accidents from Sainz the last couple of weeks have been as painful points wise.
