George Russel just said that he could have finish on the podium if Oscar didn't have his crash during the start race...and I found this funny because Russel is living in a fantasy when he always has an excuse for his race pace or whatever he does wrong during a race , he is never the guilty one and this type of toxicity will not be good for him in the long run. We clearly saw that Piastri had no other place to go and it was Sainz who crashed into Piastri and then Piastri into the barriers so I really don't know what Russel is trying to say in his press release interview... .
He is getting destroyed by Lewis this year and his performances are nowhere near of what Toto wants from his side so maybe Mick really has a chance to take Russel spot next year.
George Russell will be George Russell and I think as an F1 driver anyone can also become very optimistic for themselves in winning the champions think about it who in the F1 doesn't like to be on the top, but surely as a team player George Russell sometimes will still respect Lewis Hamilton but surely if it's not Lewis Hamilton then he will become a hungry in making a lead for himself,
But for me it is not a good quality for a driver to blame it on another driver like what have happen with the Carlos Sainz and Oscar Piastri fiasco that George Russell was on the back of Piastri, he have said, everyone is blaming it on Oscar Piastri and Sainz also calls Piastri as underexperience with this sort of things which is an attack on Piastri which is not a good impression at all, while Piastri is looking cool and just respecting what have happen with the collision,
This isn't even the only example at turn 1 here. I remember a couple of incidents happened at this turn in the past also and the same thing happened every time. The driver taking the inside has just nowhere to go and he is squeezed between the car beside him and the wall. But still drivers don't give up on taking their chance there.
It could have been a really wonderful race for Sainz and Piastri both if they had that turn without problems. But being aggressive can sometimes cause drivers to push their luck unnecessarily much.
Now we have a long break and let's see if there will be teams benefiting from this well and returning stronger.
Well, yes there are a similar turn incident just like this in the past and Carlos Sainz is talking about it and all of that are rookie mistakes, we can all say that Sainz is really treating the McLaren Driver as a rookie for F1 and he is not wrong about it but he can not make assumptions that it is just Oscar Piastri that is to blame in this incident because it really is two to tango, which is for me both of them is at fault it could be Piastri was optimistic in entering and attacking the side of Sainz, that end up on him making a hole on the side of Sainz Ferrari F1, while Carlos Sainz is also attacking Hamilton on the side but I have seen that there are still a little inch that he could spare for Piastri, that he have seen him on the side as he have said but still lhe keeps on continuing on that path, and Oscar could have stop from getting across and just make a wait for it,
There are surely something thy can do but due to the heat of the race they are not thinking that fast that end up with this collision,
