FORMULA 1 ARAMCO GRAN PREMIO DE ESPAÑA 2025
I had to miss the race today and so I just watched the YouTube 8min video - it looks like it was a great race and the 8minutes really didn’t do it justice. Did Max pit four times in total??
Alonso looked really racy which is nice. Hulkenburg seemed to come out of nowhere. Last I saw him he was fighting Alonso for 10th, then cut to the end of the race and he stormed past a Ferrari!
Seems like Max got off lightly for what looked like a deliberate crash. Should’ve been a DQ from what I saw. No-one knows what was in his head of course, but it certainly looked like he crashed on purpose into Russell
Yeah Max did 4 stops. Which sounds pretty crazy. Lots of pitstops all around, which kinda was most of the action although there were some on track overtakes as well.
I think Hulk profited off his tire choices – in the end the fact that he did not qualify well yesterday gave him more tire options for the race, and that enabled him to do a unique strategy.
