Dominant drive from Lundgaard. Unlucky for McLaughlin but somehow Dixon once again got a decent result despite being on by far the wrong strategy.

Watching. Grosjean strikes again. Was a liability in F1, and has been in Indy.
Missed the race yesterday, but doesn't surprise me to read this.

Has Grosjean actually finished a race this year?

His dad could pedal a rally car pretty well too, never quite put the two together, but it was obvious really!

He's had 2 second place finishes and arguably would have won the first race in St Pete, but for McLaughlin punting into him.

Romain can be fast be he's also undoubtedly a crasher and has some weird incidents.......didn't he say yesterday that his hands came off the wheel confused

Not for the first time, he said "again". Possibly linked to his burns injuries still, maybe.

I got the feeling he was more blaming the car.

Is it, will Grosjean crash out? or when will Grosjean crash out? Before lap 150.

Was quite a boring race with only 1 caution.

They go again tomorrow at 7pm.

Hasn’t he just, flying past everyone straight to the lead. This is really chaotic, so many cars -2 and -3 already as the stops are underway.

They do love a pointless caution don't they?! Although it's a much better race than yesterday.

Alex Palou pissing off more people, even his own driver management company - https://www.crash.net/f1/news/1033209/1/alex-palou...

“Monaco Increase Management is bitterly disappointed to learn about Alex Palou’s decision to break an existing agreement with McLaren for 2024 and beyond."

Palou isn't a current McLaren driver, he drives for Ganassi.

With the current McLaren F1 lineup, he has no chance of an F1 drive with them.

His "management" seem a right bunch of muppets. I expect they are being binned by Palou.

He did for 23 too, until he didn't.

It's like Button's contract negotiations all over again
