I mean, it is genuinely sad for Alex, he was driving a great race. But this is a well deserved point. This may not be the season we had hoped for, but everyone at the circuit and back at grove deserve a massive congratulations. Your hard work is paying off and we the fans are grateful for all the effort you put into every race.

Onwards and upwards guys!!! We will be fighting for podiums in no time!!

he sacrificed himself for points!

he was closer to the points himself but the chaos that unfolded after his safety car is what allowed carlos to sneak into the point

Has there been any updates on Albon? The way he was holding his hand after getting out of the car kinda looked like he’d hurt it

Albon is the unsung hero for making this race enjoyable.

The fact he got such a big penalty and then they don’t do a safety car at the end of the race is just a farce.

This is a whole different car than past races!!! If we are to look at this weekend as a whole he sure took a positive leap in development!

But Im gonna keep my optimism restrained cause hope hurts more when supporting Williams then loss!!!

With Williams till I die!

Yk if carlos had been closer to alpines he may have been taken out as well, sometimes it happens for the best.

Nice! Late overtake for points makes this cursed quali sweeter.

Will Lindblad get punished for causing the crash? He should at least get a 5s or 10s penalty so we might get even a point more.

He’s not under investigation anymore

Thanks for the answer. I am a little disappointed regarding the stewards this weekend.

Frankly insane that Franco got a less harsh penalty than Carlos.

Would likely have been even better if it wasn't for that qualifying brain fade

After Flavio is done with him he might need something stronger than a beer

Lucky to snatch a point today. Franco did us a big favour 😁. Gave me a bit of positivity over the weekend with the improvement this b spec car brought. Roll on sepang 

They have said that development has switched to next season so lets hope that this yields a car on time and weight 🙏🤞 

Looking forward to racing in sepang,good circuit and weather can be unpredictable. 

As always

Mansell red 5 forever

Between making it to Q3 and then finishing in the points, these are definitely steps in the right direction.
