Holy hell, epic race. If it was 5 laps longer, Lando might have pulled it off. Also Max won the Grand Prix but also won the simulated Nurburgring 24hrs in his off time this weekend. That's so nutty.

Were the 2023 F1 numbers on track, or while someone was in the pits?
I believe it is on track overtakes. There were others that were a little telling as well. Like Miami this year had more than twice the overtakes of the last 5 years in Monaco or something.

I know when they compare today's car to '88, it's a big difference. The Formula E cars aren't nearly as huge, either.

The circus is coming to town this weekend. Won’t be around for it this year though! :)

PIR is a shit course, so I wouldn't want them here, but it would be cool if there was a race that was closer.

I've never been to Vegas and an F1 race seems like a horrible idea for a first trip.

The montreal course is pretty cool. But get ready for crowds as everyone takes the metro to the island. Best would be to bike and park that outside, then walk in.

Think it took us an 90 minutes to get from where we joined the queue for the metro to getting on the train after qualis last year. Not doing that again!

Guy is a tool of the highest order.
I wonder how long people are going to continue to put up with his behaviour if he’s not winning. His team engineer clearly has had enough. From my view, he is unravelling himself and still a massive tool.

Was hoping Verstappen would get taken out at the start or overheat during the race. Needed to lose more points to Norris than he did.

Bottas on gravel.


The 35-year-old Finn, for whom Formula 1 has practically become a side hustle compared to his passion and dedication to cycling, clocked in a creditable 133rd out of 247 participants in his age group (35 – 39) at the end of the 182 km course between Halle and Leuven in Belgium

Seems dumb. I don't like the way CARB did it in the last race, but I like it adds an extra dimension to the end of races. I think there should be a few points for qualifying too.

Yeah, it was sneaky of RB but it's not like other teams haven't done it, too. How many fastest laps went to folks outside of the top 10? A bunch, for sure.
