So. I've just got home from work, and the sprint hasn't started.

Is this my obligatory get the babies out there racing because they are being babies and don't want to race in a little bit of rain.

Zhou. 5 seconds. Hmmmm. I'm in 2 minds. He took 2 cars out. But it was the 1st lap. And wasn't intentional.

Still need to see that from another view. Did zhou cause any of that?

All of it.

Well. Bad start from Lewis. But verstappen still shepherded him further out than was really needed.

How the hell have them alfa romeos so far back after 1 lap.

I maybe shouldn't have turned on until the race. Brundle's grid walk speaking to celebs that have zero knowledge of the sport, and some even that have little no interest. But for once, the national anthem is not all hyped up and cringe worthy. The grid walk has changed for the worse. The early ones...

I really hope turn 1 isn't going to turn into a bowling ally.
I have a funny feeling max is going to do a max and shepherd Lewis to the outside of the track at turn 1. Like he likes to do. Over speed into turn 1. Much like imola 2021 or brazil 2021.

My opinion.
He shouldn't have been given the AT seat in the first place.

Not that I think he is a bad driver. I just don't think that NDV was the right fit for the red bull family of drivers. He should have stayed with toto and put him in the Williams next year and kick albon out.

Your version of the story, which is much more detailed than mine, ties in my recollection with the exception that the ability to remove the code after use is not mentioned. This (again allegedly) was done so that it could not be found post race. The most important question is; why on earth would th...

There’s also still three separate trips to North America, one of which is the start of a triple header where the following race is in Qatar. Not great for those on the ground. Not sure if I'm counting it correctly but I see four separate trips to North America (China to Miami, Monaco to Canada, Sin...

Listening to Ted Kravitz is so painful today. God I should just get F1TV instead to not have to listen to this verbal diarrhoea.

Now. This is all my opinion. Please. Lets have a nice debate on mercedes upgrades and your thoughts going onto the 2nd half of the season. Given mercedes updates are showing a bit of a defacit to red bull and Aston. Especially in the slow corners. They have a clear lack of rear traction coming out o...

Red flag. Pathetic. Absolutely pathetic. Shouldn't have red flagged it. Double waved yellows would have been sufficient and he was off the circuit anyway.

They’re looking at extending FP2. Could be worthless if it's raining then......... Then frankly, I hope it pours...

What are the actual rules if a driver pops for doping? In a lot of sports they retrospectively take titles away years, even sometimes decades afterward. I am sure that you can nullify titles when it turns out that the respective driver/team broke the rules to win it. So, if evidence about a Masi/RB...

Slow Zones would negate the majority of SC situations whilst still allowing racing around three-quarters or more of the circuit. I think both slow zones and long lap penalties would improve the show and be fair from a sporting pov. They're better, smarter, fairer, equivalents of most SC/VSC deploym...

Quite agree with most of the sentiments described above. I now never watch any F1 live but record it and watch later. That way I can fast forward all the garbage and nuts the team principles even then it is becoming barely watchable. The sprints I watch if I have nothing better to do. It is going t...

Hmmmmmm. Since when. Has a pit lane speeding penalty been 5 seconds. They really have softened the rules in regards to penalties.
Used to be a 10 second stop go.

I agree with all comments here. But the sad reality is that no one cares. They would rather cater to the 2 minute focused 16 year old who has been hooked on f1 due to drive to survive.

21 laps into this race 40 lap race today.

What a race. Literally the top 10 going side by side. 3 wide. The lot. Yes. There's a few crashes. But my god. It's hard racing. And it's passes and repasses. It has the lot.

It's crazy.

Max has two tainted titles. Yet to win one cleanly. But I'm sure Lewis struggles knowing his 2008 title is tainted according to Fiki. Just the 2? Lets not kid ourselves.

What does the constructors championship say?

There's your answer. The team each year who won the constructors championship had the best chassis.

The reason is simple. The chassis was compliant enough to take 2 differing drivers styles and give the team the best results that it could give.

The penalties are fine as they are. They just need more components. Instead of 4 ice or 3 gearbox. Just allow them 6 ice and 6 gearbox for example and allow them to have flexibility. 23 races probably 25 in 2024 and they still work on 3 engines. Give them 2 or 3 more engines so that we can see them ...
