In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Should just let them drive.
Max is obviously quite good, but can he do it while the car is flying round in the fecking sky like the cow from Twister?

Luck, went out at the right time before the wind picked up and first drops started to fall.
That rain is biblical
Stroll P3 , luck , he will way down the grid pretty quick
The Maxsplaining feat Charles going on in the background while Lance is talking 
No more rain for the weekend.
Can teams change setups now, for dry racing.
Don’t think I have seen conditions deteriorate so quickly.

Race control really need to address this.
That gives a much better picture of why Max overtook them. Cars should have at least stayed to the left more. Could have gotten ugly coming out of that blind corner.

Spainish journalist Albert Fabrega has apologised about his cryptic teeet last week and removed it. It was a reference to a alledged team swap between Alonso and Perez for next season.
RedBull also deleted their zipped mouth emoji tweet in reaction to Fabrega tweet.

A team swap like that would surely be top of RB and Alonso's wish lists.
Only thing is it would probably break promises to Ricciardo who obviously costs a lot of money himself.

Crash for Ocon and Alonso with a puncture?
Oh my Lord what was that?!
thats ocon's fault not alonso
Ahhh Ocon lost it too.
Until someone gets killed these slow laps will continue to be allowed.
Well - Alonso could have moved a bit wider. And Ocon just had a moment as well. So probably just a bit of a “racing” incident … however you describe it
Ocon's fault but Alonso wasn't faultless, just before the crash Alonso turns left.
There's at least 10-15 similar close incident to these every single weekend, and yet no one cares about changing anything.

This one is a little bit different. I also think Alonso did give him space and the move left was obviously just as Ocon lost it a bit. If Ocon didn’t lose it it’d have been easy and clear. But Alonso yes could have still given more room.
Sky's take on the crash
Sky Sports F1's Martin Brundle on the Ocon and Alonso incident:
"Ocon had big oversteer. The incident came about because Ocon was having to recover his car."
Lead commentator David Croft adds:
"I'm not quite sure how you can blame Fernando for that. If Ocon is looking to give Alonso a penalty for that, I think he's looking in the right direction."

I don’t think either should take blame / penalty. It’s just an unfortunate set of circumstances.
looking at the replays Sky are showing, that would be my thoughts also.
Crofty is so dumb
Save sprints by giving points down to 20 in a separate sprint championship
The only way sprints work is if it matters for the driver and constructors championships. At best you could do reverse championship grid and give the teams budget for more parts/repairs.

piastri seems to be struggling against norris on pace in last few weekends. Wonder.what thats about.
Yeah, lots of mistakes too. I think being rookie is finally showing after good first part of the seaaon.
Poor tyre management for Piastri in comparison to Norris is the main difference.
Yeah, noticed Leclerc didn't use new softs, it's obvious that drivers don't care too much about sprint race and holding what they have for Sunday, especially Ferrari who struggles with tyres anyway.
Red Bull the fastest, but very mixed two sets of qualifying for everyone, even Perez was close to P1 at some point.

Better angle of the Alonso/Ocon crash. The video clears Alonso IMO. This is all on Ocon.
Max like a rocket, Norris already third.
Could be another Australia but very marginal if Max was in his grid box.
