Zak Brown is a fucking gigantic cunt.

No doubt, at least when Horner acted that what he had a few constructors titles behind him at a team that was built from the ground up.  

Curious what Ron Dennis thinks of Zac.

I just doubt understand how Oscar's move can just be dismissed as a "racing incident". He turned in hard enough to clearly see the tires physically angled, which is pretty damn rare at speed. And he did that at the widest Turn 1 of the season.  If Hulkenberg wasn't there, he would have clipped Alonso. There's no way he checked his mirrors.

The Oscar on board was interesting. Oscar was ahead going into the corner, braked first and Lando dove right past him from his inside to his outside right across his nose.
 

Norris has plenty of room to run wider but takes a narrow line doing his teammate no favors.
 

Oscar seemed to lose his cool and tried the switcheroo not giving a shit about the other cars.

only place Piastri could go would be off track and passed probably by a few cars. Instead he chose violence not letting the Lando dive bomb across his nose go unchecked lol

It's very wide on entry. About 120 feet. But it's only about half that wide on exit. Before the track was built, Tavo told me he designed it that way intentionally, as an 'error generator'. He wanted the wide entry to entice people to try different things - potentially unwise moves - and boy has it worked. T1 is truly a masterpiece full of challenges for the drivers. Shorter braking zone because it's uphill. Big bumps (not part of the 'art', of course) unsettle the car just as you begin to brake. Gets significantly less steep just after you begin braking, making the car suddenly lighter in the middle of braking (see Stroll's lockup ... usually they work that out in FP, but there was only one this weekend). Blind apex, so you have to turn in before you can see it. Gets much narrower on exit and falls away to the right. It's a handful.

Lando drove right in Max's wheel tracks. Oscar could do that cutback on lap 3 or 4 but not lap 1. He should have planned to keep his speed up and stay wide. Doubt he would have gotten passed doing so.
