Lando Norris with another amazing final lap. He's definitely my new favorite driver.

My 10 yo daughter was watching with me and said those guys were racing to see who got to do the 'champagne war'.
Oh, and she was happy for Albon since he got spun at the end last week.

I think Seb has checked out. He's almost out of options after this season with Alonso coming back.
He's got a 1:1 interview scheduled for later this week (that he initiated) so that should be pretty interesting.
Ferrari has checked on Seb no doubt. They won't be going out of their way for him at all.TopFlightReject said:Vernada said:

And Ferrari's car is surprisingly bad.
I love watching the races with my two daughters the last couple of years. I can honestly say I'd rather sit and watch a quali session or Grand Prix than a football game.

Definitely. I'm shocked how easily and naturally my 10 yo started watching and enjoying racing. It is much easier to get into a session/race with the nonstop action and no commercials.
Comment I just read following Renault's complaint on Racing Point:
Quote:
Renault needs to protest against Ferrari too, cause they're copying 2019 Williams
Ouch. Poor Ferrari. It's hard to believe a team with that kind of resources can be so bad.
Wouldn't it be funny if FIA said that if Racing Point was found in violation, the only way they could continue racing this season was if they painted their cars pink. Oh wait ...

I mean when your power unit gets massively restrained because you were flirting with the rules too much, it's pretty hard to win
Vettel to Racing Point?
Read a rumour article this morning that says Perez contract has some cancellation language that might be exercised so RP could bring on Vettel as part of the Aston Martin rebrand.
If they get to keep their car that could be really fun.

Wish they would fire stroll but that's not gonna happen
listening to an interview last week some RP person and they were saying "and Perez he has a 3-year contract and then, of course, Lance, uh, uh, he's got a long term contract too."Jsimonds58 said:

Seems like the 'smart' thing to do would be to keep them all and make Stroll the reserve driver.
Pappa stroll ain't gonna let that happen unfortunately
wow. Listening to Renault talk about their protest today. This isn't just them saying they 'think' something. They very much are implying they know RP has been given detailed drawings (I think they said parts too) for the brake ducts. They are saying they are identical - all the way to the internal design.
It's hard to see that's the case, but that's what Renault is claiming.

Should be fun tomorrow. Pink locked out second row.
Max is way back in 7th.
Hopefully Ferrari can make it through lap #1 without taking each other out.

Ferrari being petty. You'd think they had more pressing matters, like pace.

I'm SHOCKED Racing Point locks out row 2. They must be cheating. Beyond just copying last year's Mercedes.
Great race for Haas.
Competitive early on and Magnuson finished with points.

Well that was a bore of a race.
Nothing would surprise me but I don't see how Grosjean holds on to that seat. Great strategy though pulling those cars in on the formation lap. That worked out pretty well for them.
And Ferrari giving no love at all to Vettel holding him on that stop. I hope they continue to suck.

Yeah it had nothing to do with the line of cars and wanting to avoid an unsafe release.
Solely because it was Vet in the box.

Didn't Vettel end up with the fastest lap? His situation is so strange.
Watched the MotoGP race last night, too. Absolutely brutal crash by Marc Marquez. His arm got mangled.

Most of the excitement came before the race when Verstappen somehow managed to crash during the warm-up laps prior to the race and put Red Bull in a panic to get the car ready for the start.CharlieBrown17 said:

No. Hamilton did, bottas had it most of the last half but Hamilton came in for new tires to set it to finish the race.

I think Vettel did have fastest lap at some point.
I read that Kimi is out of contract after this season.Vernada said:There's just no easy/obvious place for him - unless Kimi decides to retire. No idea what Kimi's contract status is.FTAco07 said:
Horner just confirmed on air during practice that Seb will not have a Red Bull seat next year. Sticking with Max and Alex.
So current theory is Perez to Alfa Romeo and Seb to Racing Point / Aston Martin.
I've been spoiled with 3 weeks straight of races... nothing to do this weekend.
I'm not a huge Checo fan, but that would be a huge disappointment to land at Alfa Romeo with his talent.
Agreed, but it might be the only option he has if he wants to stay F1. I think it would certainly only be temporary.
