Is it just me or does it seem like something is genuinely going on between GP and Max?

I know everyone has been saying this is just how their relationship is, but I don't remember nearly this many quips in the past.

    I would presume they like joking around.

    I was really rooting for Piastri, quite a shame how it turned out.

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

    Some really nice overtakes today.

    There was a spark of light from Albon again, the pack is getting tight now and despite his good start it wasnโ€™t enough overall to make the points.

    Bummed about Piastri. Looking forward to seeing him more and more now the Maclaren has started to pick up the pace.

    Some beautiful overtakes this weekend. Verstappen on Piastri during the sprint, Gasly on Albon today and Ocon on Tsunoda.

    I feel sorry for Albon, at the beginning of the race it seemed like he would have a genuine shot at a points finish.

    Also, good on Hamilton for taking fastest lap on the last lap of the day.

    Although the statistic would be insane and likely never repeated in history, I don't want Red Bull to win every race this year. Someone else other than Max or Checo needs to win for once.

    Max casually standing on his car only mildly celebrating while half of the field did not yet cross the line was truly a thing I did not expect to see this year.

    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.

    Yeah I know. Still it felt a bit strange because we don't normally notice the cameras switching to the celebration before everyone completed the final lap.

    Yeah that was unusual. I feel like they should have prioritized showing the finishers and then cut over to Max and co.
