That's ridiculous. I'm actively rooting against Williams now. Clown show

Tell me that I am not getting re-signed without telling me that I am not getting re-signed

F1 needs a relegation system, Williams, HAAS, RB don't belong. They aren't serious about winning and are just happy to be there. Especially with teams like Cadillac trying to get in and being told no.

F3 practice saw an insanely shameful move by Tsolov. Unreal how that only got him a 3 place grid penalty
That's a straight-up hit-and-run!

This sounds good, but with the amount of money and time it takes are there really a flood of teams that could compet? Cadillac / Andretti is one, but is there really a new team ready every year who would be any more competitive than Haas or Williams?

Remember everybody, Andretti wouldn't add "value" to the F1 brand.

Yeesh. Unless that was an honest mistake, that should be a DQ for the weekend. Dude was playing Spy Hunter there.

Speaking of Williams being a joke.....

It is not an exaggeration to say that up to and including at least the initial work on the 2024 Williams, its car builds were handled using Microsoft Excel, with a list of around 20,000 individual components and parts.

Unsurprisingly, ex-Mercedes man Vowles - someone used to class-leading operations and systems had a damning verdict for that: "The Excel list was a joke. Impossible to navigate and impossible to update."

Sucks for Vowles but I am glad he is there. I know Williams has been a bottom feeder for years but I am hopeful he can keep them at the top of the bottom and break through to the midfield.

Anyone watching qualifying or did the A&M game take everyone's energy away

I watched. Max breaking 1:16 is rocket ship crazy.

I fast forwarded through it last night. I didn't like how they kept including Sargeant in Q1 when talking about who was in danger of being knocked out. Seemed like an unnecessary dig.

Just now finished Quali on repeat. Carlos making a great recovery to P2.

Not gonna lie, I would have considered doing that too, if I were Logan.

best thing about that statement is you know Max is 100% honest and he would have totally done that lol

Everytime I try to not like Max for his boredom-inducing dominance, he gives you a candid glimpse of his competitiveness and exactly why he's in the position that he is now. If there was ever a person born to drive race cars, it's Max.

I don't necessarily dislike Max. I dislike the current state of Formula 1. Every race is turning into a blowout for Max and everyone else is tripping over themselves trying to catch up. Merc can't even consistently get Ham into Q3 now. Alpine…I can't even say.

Nice to see Guenther. Not sure being an interviewer is his strength. Language issue a bit. Charles couldn't understand his English. Would like to see him provide some color during the race

Maybe it's just cause I've been drinking so have a short attention span…but take out the best driver and it's still a boring ass race….

That said, happy for sainz.

Back at the airbnb and ready to start packing back. What a great place Albert Park is. The trams take you directly to the gate, the park is huge, lots of amenities that places like COTA barely care about like water refill stations and sunscreen stations all around the park.

Definitely feels like last year's incident with the fans getting into the track hurt them as they kept showing a message to not get into the track for the podium celebration. They mentioned over the PA that this rule is not exclusive to Australia and it will be enforced at every GP so we will see if that holds up or not.

The Melbourne walk is overrated. Regular autograph signings pre-covid were much better.

That being said meeting the F2/F3 grids made the trip absolutely worth it and can confidently call this a successful one.
