    Couldn’t have done it in a more difficult way 😅

    Stroll on fire with the P10 to get Aston Martin one point ahead of Racing Bulls in the constructors’.

    I was wrong. VCARB is ahead. F1TV commentators misled me.

    I gotta say that during Max’s resurgence I was seriously debating not renewing my subscription for next year. I was just bored of the entire sport even though everything is so close and it’s much more thrilling than those dominant seasons we’ve become used to.

    I’m sort of excited for today’s event but I’m not 100% sure I’ll be along for the ride next year. You get maybe 6 interesting races, the rest is all just processions that take a couple of hours.

      Next year is the biggest regulation change in decades. DRS will be gone. There’ll be another team on the grid, or two really with Audi. And the first year of a set of regulations is always crazy cool imo. Development race will be wild, we’ll have many different aero concepts at the start, the new engines will probably have reliability issues for a while…

      Of all the times to stop watching, this one I can’t really understand. If course if what you want is tons of overtaking and wheel-to-wheel then there is no guarantees, but when was that ever guaranteed in F1?

      I’m glad I don’t pay for it, I definitely wouldn’t have stuck around in 23 but hopefully the new regs don’t lead to the same thing happening again

    Four racing laps to go, utterly tedious in the podium places for almost the entire race but some exciting battles going on down the field!

    Tsunoda’s now the one ahead of Norris. Japanese minister of defense™️ activated.

    Hopeful, but resigned to the obvious. It’d take a fuckup of monumental proportiona for lando to lose this one.

      Yeah we basically need three cars to be faster than Lando. Even if Max wins and Russel gets second (not unthinkable), McLaren will just ask to swap positions if Piastri is third. So we’ll need another podium crasher and I just can’t see it.
