Antonelli saying he can still fight for a point is some real black knight from Monty Python and the Holy Grail energy.

Ferrari missing out a 1-2 because of strategy, good result but still managed to fit in a small screw-up in the end
Edit: Audi points yay! :-D
shame Hulkenberg once again with reliability issues, bro can't catch a break (or some points either)
It was the right call, Ham had very old hards vs Rus with newer Mediums (I think). But somehow the FIA manages to mess it up again (I mean with the โSafety car in this lapโ message and then: โups naaa that jestingโ)
Fair, if we had one last racing lap it would have been a great shakeup on the front, Russell could've taken the chance for P1 and probably some fight for podium. But yeah, race got FIAd
No way Russel would have been able to attack, with both Ferraris having Softs. All in all, it was a hard call for Ferrari and they thought they would have had 1 or 2 laps left. I donโt see it as a big mistake.
I'd still make the same call now, I think
No restart? What a disappointment.
Whatโs strange is the โSafety car inโ message and then nope it keeps out. It was a very 50/50 chance of them being able to do 1-2 laps unfortunately
Apparently the rulebook says that if they let cars unlap themselves, they must wait to bring the safety car in until after the following lap, so they messed up with the timing of the unlap and left it too late.

Alonso with the Sonny Hayes strat lmao
How do they do it? How do they always ruin it one way or another? FIA must only hire patented idiots looks like
Antonelli the only one going Medium-Soft (presumably) is ballsy.
Nope hard
I guess it won't matter, but I would have liked to see it.
Everyone is just getting out of ferraris's way ๐
It was the right call to keep Leclerc out. He's got a better chance of defending for 12 laps than catching kimi in 12.
Give us the lap 1 incident replayyyyyy. Why the delay.
It's not an F1 race if Max isn't complaining about downshifts.
Why the fuck so they swap front wing in this instance when it's likely suspension damage? Bizarre hahaha
He came in so fast, they didn't know what was wrong
It's still so weird to me, Kimi says something fundamental is wrong and they're like "I guess we'll change front wing ๐คทโโ๏ธ". I am not an engineer or aerodynamicist but I don't understand what that would fix in this case.
They just do it because it doesn't hurt. The car will stand there for at least a couple of seconds so why not? What if they realize after 5 seconds that it was the front wing? Better start changing it as soon as possible.
Gives a little time to do visual inspection on the front suspension too! You only have a few tools in the toolbox with a ridiculously vague problem statement so might as well try a few things to maybe not have to come back in
A front wing change typically adds 10-12 seconds to a pit stop.
Yes, but how likely is it that they find and fix the unknown issue in less than 10 seconds? It's really unlikely that changing the front wing will hurt.
It looked weird to me as it looked a lot like "fuck it we don't know what's wrong, let's change the front wing and hope for the best", but in the context of wanting to do a quick inspection of the car (taking longer than a normal pitstop) I guess changing the front wing at the same time doesn't hurt yeah.
oh fuck that
Ves is closing on ham quite fast
Not fast enough though unless Lewis screws up.
Lmao Ferrari engineers falling over the barrier.
