Solid performance from Albon really, quite surprised he didn't hold onto 7th or 8th especially with two front runners out of the mix and Stroll clearly struggling.

In fairness, there's usually a cool down lap. At Spa they hang a hard right and go down the pit lane in the reverse direction, so the early finishers are quick to get parked and get out.

Remember that we only hear what FOM wants us to hear. They cherry pick messages to make a story quite often. If you want to hear the rest of the radio the onboard replay on F1TV should have everything

I would presume they like joking around.

It is really unfortunate. I really wanted to see him shine today

Yeah, would have liked to see more replays of how that actually unfolded, maybe it was just Sainz lockup that caused it.

It’d be insane if they managed to pull it off. Max is extremely dominant, but they only need to get unlucky once. Even making it this far without throwing away a win due to a mistake/bad luck/mechanical problem/rain is almost unbelievable.

It wouldn’t surprise me if another team snatched a win here or there in the latter half of the season. Aside from potential trip-ups, it probably wouldn’t make sense for Red Bull to develop the car much further. They’ve already got it in the bag and are better off focussing on next year; that might give other teams the chance to catch up a little bit.

Any other year I would have thought it was impossible. I can't think of a track that will catch them out now, but obviously anything can happen.
