Mazepin might finish more races than Alonso since Alonso is 100% guaranteed to have engine trouble if he isn’t in the top 10.

Mazepin might not even finish a lap though so I’m probably wrong.

It was kind of incredible when they got Otmar on the phone during the race and he moaned so much about the floor regulations that Brundle and Croft just spent a full minute dunking on him once he left.

Don't know why more teams don't try Force India Racing Point's trick. It's not like Haas or Williams could do worse if they'd just eyeballed the W10 or RB16 instead of spending huge amounts of time and money to create new cars that are doomed to pootle around at the back anyway.

In a way this is good news for him because it shows that the pace he was wringing out of that car to keep it just about in the points was genuine. If the brakes went because Alonso was damaging them driving too aggressively it would be worse news. Ocon needs to worry about losing his seat to Zhou though if he is going to be that far off Alonso's pace.

The slip stream sucks you in during braking, it’s a common thing but he is poo poo at racing in traffic and this is just the latest example of it. I’ve done that once in karting and then just stopped braking later in karting when I was chasing someone down unless I was going down the inside.

Probably.

Seb is fast but he just doesn’t use his head in traffic ever. It’s not the most uncommon thing in the world tbh but I think that instance was very dumb as he wasn’t really in a position to pass there either way.

Him being suprised that Ocon was going to be there was the far more alarming thing to me. I can understand the braking thing, it’s a nuanced thing and hard to think about in the heat of the moment. But I’m not sure why he was expecting Ocon to stick to the inside.
