yeah but he soon passed max and didn’t have to look at him any more.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
I disagree. Maybe for second overtake, but I thought for first and third overtake Max couldn't do anything. Actually for the first one he was bit sleeping and it was late to react - I don't think he even expected Leclerc from inside, and the third one was brilliant, so early on the breaking and he was already next to him once they started accelerating, Max could only watch him.
2 reasons
in the sprint leclerc and sainz were fighting for the first few laps which allowed max to gain a 4+ second lead. catching that back up over 16 laps or so isn’t easy.
it rained this morning, making the track less grippy. the difference today was the ferrari kept it’s tyres fresh where the red bull didn’t. they had to do an extra pit stop and still seemed slower.
So what happened with Gasly after he didnt take the 5 second penalty for exceeding track limits?
he either took it in the pits or it gets added onto the end
Absolutely. For me he's up there with Lewis and Max on driving skill.
OH I did not know it had rained this morning, that will have made a difference.
As much as i disliked bernie, this was one thing he was good at. Getting top drivers into top teams somehow. Alonso in this years RB or Ferrari would be a force to be reckoned with.
Couldn't watch the race today but fecking happy for Leclerc. May yet turn out to be a great season. C'mon
I have read some of a twitter post about this, it was horrible.
I think everybody knows those three are out in front. Vettel with an honourable mention.
For me the biggest sign of a truly great driver is winning in multiple cars/eras. Only Lewis has done that of the current crop but Max and Leclerc have plenty of time.
The top three teams in today's Austrian GP all received suspended €10,000 fines for a breach of parc ferme rules, but Fernando Alonso and Alpine were absolved of an unsafe pit stop release.

Not sure Max will, think he will be RB till he cslks it a day.
It looks to me that they were being extremely pedantic today with the implementation of the rules, it’s racing not a science project.
A decade ago I would have said the same about Seb. Despite the utter hilarity of some of their strategies and not having produced a title winning car in 15 years, Ferrari is a real draw
I agree, far to many penalties handed out today I would accept it more if it was like this at all races, but it's not.
Yeah fair point, they are a draw, only team I think he might go too.
Mick starting to show himself as clearly the best of the rookies. His drives this weekend and at Silverstone are way more impressive than anything we've seen out of Zhou or Tsunoda. Or even Albon to be honest.
I’ve been out all day, so I’m just catching up on all the days news.
First of all, Charles fecking Leclerc!!! What a performance from him. So happy.

Nah Max will be gone from RB in 5 years. Ferrari, Audi, Porsche, Mercedes etc. There will be other teams to drive for. Besides a hallmark of a truly great driver is to win the WDC with different teams.
Damn so much luck for Verstappen, Hamilton, Rrussell, Ocon, Schumacher, Norris, Magnussen, Ricciardo and Alonso. Places behind and only gained places/points because of DNFs in front of them.
Prost and Senna being a pretty big exception there.
I dont see Verstappen leaving Red Bull until his current big contract is up (assuming that they dont fall off a cliff performance wise and his contract allows to leave for that). And even then it would be as big a leap as Hamilton leaving McClaren considering hes been with Red Bull since the cradle.
Sainz's car flaming up like that was absolutely mad, thankfully he got out before the flames spread even further.
Always an entertaining track and had a lot of good overtakes. Mercedes are getting more consistent nearer the top of the table which is good to see.
Gap between Max and Charles is not too wide at the halfway mark. If Ferrari can keep his car from failing then it should be a very interesting conclusion.

I think as today shows, whoever consistently has the best car wins. You can argue until the cows come home who the best driver is, but today Leclerc got passed max twice with ease.
Does that make him a better driver? no, but I don’t think there’s much between them. When Leclerc smells blood he is relentless.
Another stand out drive by Norris today. He took a 5 second penalty for running wide a couple times, and still ended up beating his team mate by 5+ seconds and overtaking magnussen. A few more laps or no penalty and he might have got schumacher also.
I really hope Mclaren can give him a proper car soon as he belongs right at the top.

Ferrari blowing up every other race won't win you championships but it makes for some entertaining races. LeClerc drove like a man possessed, great driving.
Got a feeling it might be related to the drivers meeting held on Friday (the one Vettel stormed out of & got fined) where they were complaining about the lack of consistency in the decisions made.
Wouldn’t surprise me if the FIA turned around and started handling all these ridiculous penalties out as a big FU to them.
Pure speculation on my part, but it was apparently a pretty feisty/uncomfortable meeting. I’ve never seen so many track warnings/penalties in my life
There was a real problem with that escape road being uphill. He couldn’t get the car stopped from rolling backwards to get out, not to mention the marshal trying to get a wedge under the tyres being put in danger.
Have a feeling they’ll maybe look at that for the future, and try to make sure those roads are as flat as possible. That PU was going up fast.
Yeah was mad wasn't it
Both want Monaco on the calendar
Mick starting to adapt to the tyres like in the junior categories. It’s something he needs to work on to happen more quickly in future. It was hallmark of his dad that he could adapt to whatever was thrown at him but Mick doesn’t seem to have that just yet.
Prost won with McLaren and Williams, and everybody knows the only reason Senna didn't was that he didn't live long enough.
I feel like Max and Horner will end up falling out. There's never room for two big egos in a team. Usually it's the drivers but this time the boss has a bigger ego than all of them.
It wouldnt be surprising. Austria isn't even a track where its that necessary to enforce them, not like the daft tarmac bowls where drivers can go wherever they want.
He could have turned the steering wheel and let the car back into the barrier. Maybe not something you think about when the car is on fire, but would have been quicker than relying on the stewards.
Senna drove for mclaren, williams, tyrell. Obviously if he hadnt of died he might have won a title with williams. Prost drove for mclaren, williams, renault and ferrari. Winning titles with mclaren and williams.
I can see max at Ferrari somewhere down the line.
Ah Christ he did, I forgot about 1993.
When the race is on too late in your timezone but you catch a glimpse of someone in red on the podium on the local news 
What a race by the man!!
What a race by the man!!
The problem is to get out of the car you need to remove the steering wheel. The car was sitting still while he had his foot on the brake, but as he tried to get out it started rolling.
Obviously at that point panic starts setting in and no doubt he could see/feel the flames getting closer and hotter and was getting very worried.
In that situation the Marshalls need to act WAY faster. They should have been there waiting for him ready with the stops. They didn't even have them close by, 1 of the marshalls had to drop his extinguisher and run back to find them.
I get that it was a freak incident but they need to be alert and ready for all situations. I have no doubt in the future they'll make sure on the slopped areas they have the equipment ready immediately.
Where did you read that? Why didn't he just tear another strip off it?
