Incredible stat:

On the last Five Occasions that at least Three Drivers were involved in the title decider - 1981, 1983, 1986, 2007 & 2010 - The driver leading the championship heading into the race never went on to win the title.

Suggestions Bortoleto suffered a 34G impact, then 57G in his crash. Initial loss of control apparently at 339km/h. Not expected he'll take part in quali - he's fine, a new chassis is being built up. #F1

Oscar Piastri's car made its way back to pit lane on the back of a truck after the Sprint ended. His side of the garage will be hard at work to make sure his car is ready for qualifying at 3 pm.
