This should be interesting?




I'm going Verstappen. Back of the grid? Sure. Been there before? Damn near.

Crazy q3. I believe Lewis when he says he had pole but for Kimi’s off.

Going to go with Leclerc and my heart although my head says it’ll be Lewis.

this could very well come to pass after today’s race

Great race today. It was a classic. Hard fought and perhaps a bit on the edge of propriety but nevertheless a popular win.

Not sure Vettel will last past this season. He’s got to take a real hard look at himself. He seems to be missing the fire he had early in his career when he was at Red Bull and plain and simple he seems to look very burdened and not having fun like he’s supposed to.

I thought Lewis was phenomenal today and should really have been driver of the day. He is what kept the race interesting. The podium was really special and I enjoyed watching it. The Renault’s did well as did Albon. I think the latter will show promise as the season progresses and into next season.

For the second weekend in a row, Leclerc's strategy was bang on, and his one pit stop within margin; I'm still saying this is decidedly un-Ferrari (at least for this year), but I'm enjoying it.

Vettel has become a full-on headcase. This isn't a lack of fire, this is some ugly personal trough. This is hire-a-sports-psychologist level of missed performance. I think Vettel has a want, but he's becoming scared of the edge, versus not riding the edge.

I guess. Pretty outrageous blocking. If I were a steward, I would have voted for a penalty.

I think you nailed it. He does need help. Either a driver coach or a sports psychologist.

I think if the roles were swapped, Lewis would do the same, but would the stewards see it differently. The frustrating thing for Lewis and for fans is that stewards are not consistent and I think that’s something we have to live with. Charles himself attributed his moves to how Verstappen moved on him in Austria. He also said he thought he’d left Lewis enough room on the outside so it could genuinely be a mistake too.

I’ll say, I do like Charles and I like Alex Albon. They seem like a breath of fresh air with how polite and affable they are. Lando seems like a nice kid too.
