    Race winner in his first year and before his own teammate who has been in F1 for years. Piastri will definitely become a world champion if he has a competent car.

      A sprint win is not the same as a race win though.

          In a lot less time though, if this race would have had 40 more laps like the real race then Max would’ve likely won again considering he was second from sixth on lap 19

      Let’s hope McLaren can built on this year and not have a start like this year.

      Indeed! Even though Max dominated the season, this is probably one of the better seasons in years. We’ve had great races (including this one), the field (except for Max) is tight and a lot of on track action. For once: #blessed

    Amazing rebound for McLaren, really thought their season was a write off but it looks like they have something to cook with. Aston definitely need Stroll to step up now.

    Not an ideal first win with it being a sprint and Max’s clinch of the season, all the same, great to see for piastri and team McLaren.

    Let’s go, McLaren! Great to see them fighting for podium positions after a tough start of the season. Looking forward to a great battle in the GP.

      If I don’t watch a race live, I simply don’t do social media/news, it isn’t that complicated.

      I like to imagine this person has now spent hours on the internet blaming all the news, social, and motorsport platforms, and broadcasters for spoiling the results.

        I love how i just made a mild complaint, was not even that upset, was only 10 minutes behind the livestream, and you all are creating a major incident and getting the pitchforks.

        Specially love the dramatic “the world doesn’t stop spinning for you”

          You find that dramatic?

          Me thinks this one’s not too bright. Though they were also on subscribed F1 socials while watching a 10 min delayed race and was then shocked to find out the social feed was 10 min in the future. And then gwumpy about it.
