David tries to make sense of Red Bull’s questionable strategy calls and Max’s bump-and-run on George, while Skin grapples with gravel traps, invisible blue flags. There’s love for Oscar, confusion over dirty air vs. tow, and a suspicious amount of praise for Hulk. Oh, and Hamilton’s Ferrari? Let’s just say… it’s not giving Prancing Horse.
