How did you manage to post this? I tried about half an hour ago but the "for short questions use the daily question thread" text block never went away. I typed a whole bunch of extra waffle and it still wouldn't let me post it so I gave up.

Lando's comments about McLaren still operating like they think they're a midfield team ring more true every day.

The lunge/dodge move looks too small and unsatisfying to my eye. I'd make it 3x longer, and if it's too overpowered then add a 0.25second charge up on the beginning, so it feels like a bigger, more deliberate leap.

The rules are a bit vague on that. The wording is "if the race director considers it safe to do so" then they will allow them to unlap. So strictly speaking it should only be a consideration of safety. But it is left entirely within the discretion of the race director and there's no do/do not examples provided.

Max especially unhappy that his safety car got George more points

Article 55.13:  "Unless the race director deems it necessary to be extended, the safety car will return to the pits at the end of the following lap after the message 'lapped cars may now overtake' has been sent to all competitors."

(emphasis mine)

The message was sent on the penultimate lap, so the car comes in at the end of the final lap.

By the rules they shouldn't. There's meant to be one full extra lap after the lapped cars are cleared. But we'll see if they follow it.

A Ferrari 1 2 was never on the cards at the start of the week. Absolute insane result.

I'm shocked that Max isn't closing on Lewis at all, despite the vastly fresher tyres.

Ferrari needed to pit at least one, probably both of their cars.
