Annoyingly the F1TV onboard for Oscar has the rear view so we can't actually see if/how the RD ####ed things. On his onboard he gets the radio message the SC is coming in after he's hit the brakes (but that might be delayed). From Max's onboard the SC lights are still on at the start of that straight...you lose sight of the SC and then 7 seconds later Oscar hits the brakes. 12 seconds later he launched at the end of that same straight.
Calling a safety car because its wet and dangerous is also incredibly ####ing stupid. Let's just bunch everyone up into the spray. Brilliant stuff. Unsurprisingly it resulted in a second SC. VSC or red flag would be way more sensible. But I guess you gotta erase a 14 second gap for the British driver and then give him another 10 seconds. Would've been such a great finish if it was just 5 seconds.
It's fun having a rooting interest again. I'm totally unhinged. #### Lando and #### the FIA. Good for Hulk.

Honestly #### both Lando and Oscar for completely ignoring Hulk on that podium. Go watch the podium celebration again. His first ever podium and they completely shut him out. They’re both petulant children.
If it were Max and Lewis on that podium he would’ve been on their ####ing shoulders.
