Re: Driver(s) of the day - 2023 Dutch Grand Prix
Verstappen, Lawson and Albon. So many good drives though I was swapping in Alonso and Gasley as I pondered my choices.

Re: F1 presenters and commentators
I found Croft unbearable today - when he was injecting Kylie Minogue lyrics into the mix, I wanted to shout at the TV! Coulthard and Brundle are the ones I rate the most post-Murray Walker. The worst by far was Legard, with James Allen running him close (although I do quite like James Allen's writin...

Re: Abu Dhabi 2021 - How has it left you feeling?
And do we really care about the cars that weren't allowed to unlap themselves? The more I think about it, the more absurd that feels. It's now been revealed that everyone agreed that efforts would be made to not end the race under a safety car... that's the decision that mattered. That's when they ...

Re: Abu Dhabi 2021 - How has it left you feeling?
I don't feel that the results were manipulated. It took longer than expected to clear the track and so they had to make adjustments. That's the luck of the draw and the way it goes - had they not not moved the lapped cars out of the way and Verstappen won (which given his tyre advantage was still v...

Oh come on. Even Albon wins the title at that point there was absolutely nothing special from Max in that last lap. Even Albon? For goodness sake...

Disappointed Leclerc didn't do better in those conditions. Russell and Norris (again) were outstanding. Sainz and Ocon too. Hamilton and Verstappen up where there should be in those conditions - but there was only one rain-master today.

It's a movie at the end of the day, not a documentary and in this regard, it does the job - it's entertaining and the racing scenes are excellent. I really enjoyed it - I went in to watch a movie not to criticise the inevitable changes to make it entertaining for the masses.
