- good start, no crushes, Maxie is leading
- lap 2: Sexy overtake by Carlos
-Max starts to have problems not long after, there is smoke from the back of the car,it becomes clear he needs to box
- on his way to the pits something blows up and there is fire near his rear right tire (I think we only saw fire afterwards in replays), soon after he pits and retires from the race (the only bad thing about it was that Penelope was there in the garage watching)
-I predict
@Platformcrocs will need to intervene when
@LaBlonde will see Max's reactions (and the way he -my theory-was watching intensely later to see Sharl winning)
- back to the race: at this point I am more convinced than ever that Lando will win
- Lewis loses the engine
Next might not be in chronological order as it was 5 or 6 in the morning and it was a bit of a snoozefest after initial excitement, they even did not show the front for longer periods:
- Checo driving a rocketship (as reported by both Lewis and George) is not a threat
-Charles undercuts Lando, is p2, there is a moment when Charles is almost in Carlos' DRS but then he slows down, he is not the happiest cookie with the car, balance wise
-Oscar overtook Lando but later Lando had fresher tyres so there were team orders for Oscar to let him overtake him
- Pierre 5s penalty for the same thing he got reprimand for yesterday
- stake had 2 disastrous pit stops, again
-Charles was getting closer to Carlos after his 2nd pitstop but did not catch him
-George was following Fernando, during last lap or his second to last he got really close in turn 6 I think and lost the car, got into wall and was thrown into the middle of the track, scary AF, VSC
- Carlando moment for Carlos celebrations, Papa Sainz's first attendance on Carlos' winning race, adorbs
