Mazepin is a fast driver but he’s like if Magnussen was on steroids. Defends like his life depends on it and will happy ram you into a wall. I suspect he’ll get a ban at some point next year, but generally be pretty competitive (car willing).
He’s going to make boneheaded moves and it’s gonna piss people off. Can’t stand him So happy for Yuki. Will be rooting hard for him.
This F2 race is unbelievable What a race. Probably my favourite I’ve watched this year. Feel a lot for Ilott. Pushing hard against some fantastic defending by Schumacher, but his tyres were gone by the time he finally got past. Tsunoda really is brilliant isn’t he? Managed to get second place in the end.
In fairness on those, apart from the first one, are any of them especially late moves? He sees someone trying to take him on the right and moves consistently to that side. He's not weaving from side to side or anything. I guess a couple of them there is a bit of an overlap between the back of his car and the front of the one behind, but it's not like he's doing anything unpredictable. The driver behind doesn't have to drive into a vanishing wedge of track. In fact, in the fourth one, Mazepin has already gone to the right of the track before Drugovich moves that way, he could have gone left and left Mazepin stranded on the worse line.
Mercedes never fucks up when you want them to, only when you don’t want them to. Unbelievable. Poor Russell.
God if that was Lewis I would have loved it. Bit of chaos even though he’d probably still win from here.
