But then, you may also leave me a way to contact you.

Thank you.

Mercedes believed Alonso lifted off the accelerator, braked and downshifted a gear differently compared to his previous laps. This allowed Russell to close quicker than expected, possibly causing the Briton to lose control in the wake of the Aston Martin.

After a lengthy hearing with the FIA stewards, it has been determined that Alonso did alter his driving style in an "extraordinary" way to fulfil Article 33.4 of the sporting regulations.

This reads: "At no time may a car be driven unnecessarily slowly, erratically or in a manner which could be deemed potentially dangerous to other drivers or any other person."

Accordingly, Alonso was awarded a drive-through penalty, but this has been converted to a 20-second reprimand - dropping him from sixth to eighth, behind team-mate Lance Stroll and Yuki Tsunoda. He has also lost the clean record on his FIA superlicence via the addition of three penalty points.

Alonso explained that he had approached the corner differently by lifting early and carrying less speed, but this was to gain a better exit. Russell countered that the move was "erratic", caught him off-guard and the close distance robbed him of downforce at the corner apex.

Lando only won due to the safety car. He was lucky

He won because he was faster. Max did not have an answer for him.

C'm on man.
Lando pitted under the safety car, thus had fresher tires than Max who had I think 6-7 laps old tires. The lap before the safety car came out, Leclerc & Piastri pitted, and that was what put Lando in the lead. If that didn't happen, lando wouldn't have been able to overtake those 2,
and if the safety car hadn't come out while Lando hasn't pitted, he would have emerged in 4th place, with Max in 1st. He wouldn't have been fast enough to overtake them both. That is why I said Lando was lucky!
If he was that fast, why didn't he qualify on pole, both for the Sprint and main race?

To quote Max if my mum had balls she would be my Dad.
Lando won.
