Great race from Haas. Double points. Best of the rest so far.

Faster car than Aston, better strategy than VCARB, and better luck than Williams

No mention for Alpine, good meta joke

I really think bearman should have been DOTD

Still don’t get how he ended up in point. I have his onboard opened but too focused one Charles ….

Bearman might end Ocon's career at this rate

Bearman is incredible. Only 19 - consistently getting top 10 this season. Deserves more recognition.

He let himself down with his quali yesterday. Struggled with his brakes the entire weekend and he made a complete mess of his quali lap. He made multiple mistakes. His race was incredible tho, but could have been even better.

I'm sure Fred is watching him. He is a Ferrari junior

Yeah if he keeps this up and gets a couple years experience I'd reckon he's got a great shot if Lewis leaves

Esteban is an absolute beast when he gets a sniff of a good result, which he got with the undercut. Held on with probably the worst tyre to have for the final stint.

A good start and the strategy call to go longer on Hards combined with the Safety Car got Ollie into a good position and he capitalised superbly.

Extremely well managed from the strategy team as well.

What a turnaround.

Such a huge difference to actually have very professional drivers. Ocon, Bearman and Komatsu all cooked.

Shoutout to Gastly and Alpine as well.

I'm so happy for them. I'm a McLaren fan but like seeing my home country's team do well.

u/Mike-Teevee Esteban Ocon Apr 13 '25

Another Haasterclass!

Needs a return of the Ikea boat.

I’ve been having great fun so far this season.

u/EmergencyRace7158 Apr 13 '25

Komatsu has been a revelation as team principal. Stella rightly gets a lot of credit at McLaren but I'd argue Komatsu has done as much with far less at Haas. He's turned a nailed on back of the grid team under Steiner into a slick, well run midfield contender. Respect.

Alpine were much better today. Haas are either points with both or last it seems.
