I thought he was a prick when he was a driver. He's done nothing since to change my mind.Quote:

This is pretty cool footage, what a difference in safety between then and now. They are literally driving along the edge of the water with no barriers or anything.
Astonishing really when you see it like that.Quote:

Really disappointed that Ferrari’s reliability seems to have killed of what could have been a great season. Whilst individual races are still more interesting this year than they have been for a while (IMO), the title fight is looking as good as over. I don’t feel for a minute that Verstappen has been the best driver this year.
200mph motors, good luck to them if they are running on

Thread....
We have received credible intelligence that a group of protestors are planning to disrupt the 2022 Formula 1 British Grand Prix and possibly invade the track on race day.
We want to appeal directly to this group of people
Quality qualifying today but gawd knows what the TV director was doing at the end…totally missed Hamilton and Perez finishing when they were still in with a shout. Instead we got random pics of the Ferrari garage and gawd knows what else.
Rain in F1 is always fun though!
The safety of these cars is incredible. Wow.
Footage on twitter from the stand at the other end of that gravel trap - that's a scary, scary crash for all involved.Quote:

Brilliant race. Max back to his worst, even on the likes of Mick Schumacher.
Nothing in the Mick Schumacher incident it seems.Quote:

Bernie Ecclestone to be charged over alleged fraud - BBC Sport
The CPS said the charge of fraud is "in respect of his failure to declare to HMRC the existence of assets held overseas believed to be worth in excess of £400m".
Vettel announces his retirement. Noticed that he said in the video that he's retiring "by the end of the season", not "at the end of the season". Not been picked up on but I could see him going earlier than the end of the year. Clearly not enjoying it and has other priorities.
A great character and the sport will be worse off without him.
Another disappointing Ferrari performance
They are miles behind when it comes to strategy.
Alonso to Aston Martin.
Not much going on here now that Hamilton is off the boil 😉
So I give you, ladies and gentlemen ...
Max Verstappen. A worthy champion, for the second time, after a season that included performances that were just awesome and then some. Well done Max!
4 races to clinch the constructors championship and get second place for Checo for a Red Bull clean sweep.
And also a special mention for the F1 genius that is Adrian Newey.
Pity it was all a bit rubbish that no one knew what was going on.
I wish ferrari gave them a bit more competition, but no doubt Max was a cut above the rest. He's a great driver. Red Bull could dominate this new era if ferrari and merc don't get their act together.
Business as usual for Red Bull, it looks like they are going o dominate the year. It's great to see Alonso on the podium again. In the right conditions I can see him getting a race win this season.
Thought it was a pretty mundane race all told, the most interesting part was watching to see if there were any more penalties that Ocon could manage to accrue
Another dull F1 season of one team dominating is already inevitable by the looks of things.
Yeah I love F1 but this season is looking poor. Didn’t even watch all of yesterdays race.Quote:

I've been watching F1 since probably the 1960s. Teams come and go, some get found out for things you think are really bad so you hate them for a while but teams evolve, they ebb and flow.
Red Bull this season look to have a car that will go down in history as one of the best ever in F1 history and Adrian Newey can put it on his mantlepiece with all the other best F1 cars in history he's designed and been involved with.
There's interesting competition up and down the grid. Alonso and Aston Martin look to be getting in the mix as Merc and Ferrari chase down RB.
Don't invest too much in 1 team or 1 driver. Perm any 3 from 4 but remember any great advance from Ferrari or a win for them at Monza and they'll be cheating 😉
I don’t follow any particular driver or team but I’m just not interested in watching the qualifying or races when it’s fairly certain red bull will win, especially when one of their drivers is much better than the other so there’s general not even an interesting battle for the championship between the two.Quote:

It’s like asking asking a neutral to get excited about the battle for 3rd in the SPl.
That's some fine!
Three-time Formula 1 world champion Nelson Piquet has been ordered to pay five million Brazilian Reals (£780,000) for making racist and homophobic comments about Lewis Hamilton.

What an awful season so far. Red Bill dominant, very little racing and overtaking, and even a mile ahead of anyone else Max is throwing his toys out of the pram at every opportunity.
Agreed pretty much zero interest in it just now. Can’t see anything changing much this season.Quote:
