Lewis seemed down after the sprint race. I think he overreacted to Merc’s pace and tried to do something with the set up to compete with them straight up. I think Leclerc would still have had the pace on him in the race but he was right there with him after the pit stop adjustment. From his behaviour he looked like he had missed an opportunity after the race.
Still a great result, but I think he could've won the race had the safety car situation had been sorted out sooner
Premetto che sono fermamente convinto che la penalità a Luigino fosse sacrosanta: il regolamento parla chiaro, qualsiasi movimento, anche millimetrico dopo la seconda luce rossa e fino al completo spegnimento dei semafori NON è ammessa; sulla gialla poi, ci hanno letteralmente graziato. Ma, nessuno ha parlato del fatto che Kimi girasse con una macchina palesemente in panne, che non stava in strada, creando pericolo per se e per gli altri colleghi? L’ho visto solo io? E Verstappen che abbandona la vettura senza riposizionare il volante?

Man whenever Charles is ahead of him,i just want Lewis to do better than Charles and whenever Charles finishes ahead of Lewis,i feel so sad about it and also not so happy about it ,Like what should I really do to feel happy about both drivers as both got the podium but still i wanted Lewis to finish ahead of Charles,it pains me everytime when Charles is ahead of him and ik it's his win after 624 days but i am not so happy about it , it's disappointing for me 😞
I find this subreddit difficult to tolerate sometimes. The slightest thing that goes wrong on strategy for Lewis for example is met with a barrage of rage here. People acting like its an actual crime, labelling Ferrari a "disgrace", or a "joke".
The thought process behind pitting Lewis was perfectly rational, unfortunately it didn't pan out. Had the race restarted, Lewis would have gotten P2 on the road, whereas if he didnt stop then he would have probably been overtaken by Russell who had fresher tyres as a result of that extra stop he made due to the slow puncture. As we all saw the Safety car was left out and a system glitch prevented the restart. That is *not* the fault of Ferrari.
Lewis still got a podium and due to Kimi no-scoring, it means Lewis has closed the gap to just over 30 points in the championship and here we have people posting so much utter bullshit about how Ferrari fucked up and apparently cost him the win?! Honestly, it's embarassing to be part of the same fandom with a lot of you, the way you act. If anything you should be praising the team for developing a car that is moving closer and closer to Mercedes and is in a place that is genuinely in with a chance to win at most circuits now, albeit still a little behind Mercs.
Time to get a grip and realise not everything will go your way. Lewis has had more success than anyone else in the history of the sport and here we are bitching and whinging over basically nothing.

At 1:01 You can see lewis's start. He barely moves in comparison...Lando's front wheels are outside his box while lewis is still inside his box.
Biggest fucking sigh of relief in my life
I hope you enjoy! Well done Charles 👏
Come on........
Simple. There should have been laps left at the end of the race. If they didn't put Lewis on new tires, he would have fell like a stone potentially on a restart. Ferrari gave him a chance to even get Leclerc with their strategy. FIA screws Lewis yet again
This was a great result. We reduced our deficit to Antonneli. Charles got p1 so those points didn't go to Mercedes. We have a race winning capable car. We are almost p2 and almost a dnf away from p1 in the championship. We are only half way through the season. We still have the Kim Kardashian good luck charm on our side. Hamilton is doing what Schumacher did before.

Wouldn’t give us a race for final lap as Russell didn’t pit so would have been in trouble on those old mediums. I can’t express how much I dislike the FIA. Really ruining the sport.
The Bad
Jump start penalty
Antoneli first stint overtake
SC infringement
George SC overtake and miss P2
The Good
P2 on first corner
P3 finish(could have been worse)
No action SC infringement
Official Title contender
Let's take the win guys, considering the circumstances of today's race.
After Ferrari bottling the P2 for Lewis and with all the penalties, this man remains in the absolute level of composure, I know we saw and fuming in the cooldown room, but I think if there was any other driver than him, they would have turned mad and start crashing out.
Everyday you get to learn something from everywhere and I learned if you want to reach the highest places in Life, you gotta be an absolute composed person.
The same thing happened in AD21 and that race was the penultimate race for LH 8th title and look at how he dealt the outcome of that race as well, it’s amazing and I am proud to be a Lewis Glazer.
Rest assured this just makes him even more hungry
Love ya all❤️
Ferrari double podium
George was Behind, albeit on old mediums, but would’ve still been in a good position to overtake hamilton on the old hards. Ferrari pitted Lewis to cover that off and unfortunately the FiA are idiots.
Charles deserves this P1 and Lewis deserved a P2 at home but you don’t often get what you deserve in F1. It’s simply an unfortunate series of events.
Hope we get atleast one lap for Lewis to get back to p2
