Tbf George had every right to make the point to the team as I think he could have passed Bearman at that stage of the race but even by his standards that was quite the rant. I did laugh at his Hamilton-inspired comment of sarcastically asking whether he should let Piastri by.

I think everything started when max allegedly ran him off the road (I honestly think he did) and the lack of an acknowledgment from the stewards put him in a mood that only worsened with every lap, it was funny really 😭😭😭

The stewards were on something all race. No investigation for Leclerc's blatant cutting of the track at the start. Letting marshals out on a live track. No investigation for Max/Lewis turn 1 incident. Confusing messages about Hamilton's eventual penalty. Then the VSC joke at the end. All in an afternoon's work for them.

I think Leclerc was lucky to get away with his as Lewis was marginally ahead but I guess they decided lap 1.

Max didn't get a penalty for cutting the corner as he gained no advantage after slotting back in behind Lewis, with Leclerc also ahead. He was well ahead of Russell before entering the corner

Max/Lewis I'm fine with as Max was clearly ahead and had the corner at the apex.

The Lewis penalty was justified as he wasn't ahead and cut the corner. He didn't return via the designated route but they gave him a pass on that due to overspeed. The penalty was for not giving up the advantage gained. Ferrari, being Ferrari, told Lewis the wrong reason so he was understandably annoyed... but misinformed.

Russell was nowhere near ahead on the outside when he went wide and he went wide rather than pull out of the move. All on him that one.

Lawson could well have got a penalty too. He did well to avoid the marshals but there were double waved yellows and he didn't look like he entered the zone 'prepared to stop'

The VSC became necessary because Sainz parked his car just enough outside the barrier to mean marhsals had to enter the track area to ensure there was no fire.. Damn annoying but thems the rules. I think it could have ended sooner though. Ruined a potentially great ending.

They really need to get some gravel down at turn 1 as the starts are becoming pretty farcical now where you can just bail onto the grass at zero risk. Used to happen all the time at Spa turn 1 but since they put gravel down you don't get cars running 10m wide anymore.

Former Ferrari driver Felipe Massa "performed very poorly" at the Singapore Grand Prix in 2008 - the scene of the 'Crashgate' scandal - which cost him the race win and ultimately the drivers' world championship, a court has heard.

The Brazilian, 44, is taking legal action over an alleged "conspiracy" that he says denied him the title, which was won by Lewis Hamilton for McLaren.

Massa was at the High Court in London on Wednesday for the opening day of a three-day hearing, where he is seeking about £64m plus interest from former F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone, Formula 1 and governing body the FIA.

Lol case thrown out and a personal jibe all in one.
