Do we think RB will bin Albon and reinstate Gasly if he wins he's been having quite a solid season hasn't he? Or did they burn that bridge by binning him off again? Maybe he does better being a big fish in a small pond rather than the added pressure of RB?

Yes, so glad he made it. Truly mental podium.
Hamilton did well to get 7th.

Well done Gasly, cracking win
Ahhhh look at Gasly's team 
Hamilton 2 behind Bottas with a Stop/Go 
Gasly well deserved
Gasly well deserved
dead last to 7th in 22 laps, well driven by Lewis.
I had £10 on Gasly and covered the bet with Sainz with a £4
Last lap I had a cash out on Gasly at £64 (£70 max) and was about to hit it and then all cash out were cancelled
Nervous

Exciting end
Yeah. Good recovery. And fastest lap as well.
That is the way to make F1 interesting. Really good outcome for him and his team.
Excellent performance from McLaren.
Mclaren pipped to their first win in years by a GP2 Honda engine
Though I really like to see Mclaren do well at the same time! Great race by Sainz, he must be dreading next season

So gutted for sainz! So so close... but we done gasly held his nerve. What a race
How does the reverse grid thing work? That would spice it up.
So close for Sainz and then he has to go and drive that Ferrari next year.
Botta was closer to Hamilton than the podium.I'd enjoy that as we would actually get to see Lewis and Max, who are the best at overtaking, actually having to do some which would make it more exciting
Nice to see the RB team celebrating for Gasley.
Shame Stroll managed to fluke his way on the podium would have loved to see Norris get that 3rd spot.
God that was bloody great. Hopefully Ferrari can ruin the race for the Mercs next week aswell. So much fun
Either start the race in reserve championship order, or do a smaller race for points and then start the reserve of that race result.
Stroll got a podium while doing virtually nothing all race. Hulk is sobbing somewhere
Fun to mix it all up. And somehow after all that Ham maintains a 47 pt lead and Ver is the one dropping back behind Bot.
That was a crazy race
I think the result was great, the racing itself wasn't anything to write home about. A track that relies heavy on DRS.
Do they do that in other forms of racing? I don't recall.
In F2/3 they have the main race on the Saturday and then a shorter race on the Sunday with the top 8/10 reversed (quali on Friday).
Agreed, not that much actually happened after the restart except for Hamilton cutting through. I don’t think the engine mode ban has helped, drivers don’t have the old tools they had to attack and defend.
Be interesting to see what it’s impact is on a normal track.
I wonder how long it'll take for Helmut Marko to start feeding the press with the Albon/Gasly switch for next year.
Does it work well?
Bottas needs to go. Get Russell in that car
On the plus side we have another monza next week
At least based on the Netflix doc it seems Gasley is an emotional guy who needs some coddling. Horner clearly doesnt do warm and fuzzy. If he goes back to RB he knows he ll be second to Max again so for Pierre's sake at least that would seem like a move that would backfire again.
Yes but mostly because the cars are identical. Don't think it would work in F1. You'd either need to drastically change the regulations or do a full reverse of the championship standings as a sprint race on Saturday.
Kevin Magnussen for driver of the day?
MugelloOn the plus side we have another monza next week

Terrific race, but we need to get to the point where we can have great days like this without a wheel falling off or an obscure pitlane rule being broken.
Brilliant race. Delighted for Gasley. Stroll as well
Oh yeah you’re right! I just assumed it was another monza I forgot mugello.
will be interesting as it’s a decent Moto gp track, whether it’ll translate well to f1.
What a fecking race that was. Buzzing at the end of it. Great stories all over the place. I'm biased but I would have preferred a McClaren win, but you cannot begrudge a Gasly victory. Only blotch is still finishing on the podium. Can't stand him.
