Pitting one lap earlier would have given Hulk 4th assuming the track was mostly the same

he might be the only one who got the timing bang on. probably worked out for hulk because his tyres were going too

Like why did albono put?

Yeah seemed like they weren’t fast enough once they switched tires, but they might have held on to a points position if they stayed out? But probably would have got 9th anyway.

Just dive the inside.

Max dives the inside, gets to break for free, forces the other driver to go around.


All these drivers need to loving to is dive the inside and bing bang bbong gain the position so simple.

Took the move right out of Rosberg's playbook, even down to the exact corner.

Yes, but Hulkenberg is nailed on to finish P12 in all the remaining grands prix. His standard of aggressive mediocrity is unparalleled.

Hulkenberg has to be the worst on the grid when it comes to qualifying performance versus race performance and it's pretty notable.

I think it was Mark Hughes who pointed out years ago that whatever car Hulkenberg hops into seems to magically develop a tire consumption problem. He's trash.

“He really is driving to survive. All the bosses will say about this… the rumour that has come out of the Dutch press that Nyck has been told that he’s got the next four races on circuits he knows – here [Austria], Silverstone, Hungary, and Spa to really transform his season.

“Otherwise, he’s out, they’re going to put Liam Lawson in – that’s the rumour that’s coming from the Dutch press.

I am sure the Dutch press is as reliable as Max

Hulk is... Significantly better than KMag.

I've been really impressed by him.

Also, just ignore who wins the race and focus on the rest of it. There's still some great battling there, who cares if the frog wins by 20 seconds every race.

It's at times confusing to me because when you say frog I think of one of the frogs driving for the frog team run by frogs and yet there's a driver who, despite not being a frog, is more frog than the frogs themselves

Hulk is a better qualifier but he's absolutely not better at the actual racing part lol
