I missed it, family business.

Lewis Hamilton is the GOAT. Happy for Sainz, it's about time Testarossa had some luck.

Could have been a very different weekend.

Vettel drove Manels car the other day at Silverstone. If those older cars had a similar accident there would be no chance of survival.

What flipped Zhou's car is the same thing that killed Greg Moore in 1999, the transition from grass to asphalt access road. Still some work to do with the safety of the race tracks.

Two things saved Zhou: the Halo system, which protected his head and carbon fiber car construction, which dissipated the shock of the impact. And come to think of it, several eminent persons in the profession were opposed to the Halo system.

Dale Earnhardt Sr. was opposed to the HANS device as well. Look where it got him a few races after it was released to the Nascar crowd.

Figures, I had to go out and about at the half way mark and missed a great finish.
Hamilton didn't win so that makes me smile.

I'm going to stream Rush again, it been awhile. If you enjoyed Drive to Survive you'll love Rush.

Chris Hemsworth has yet to repeat his spectacular performance as James Hunt, Daniel Bruhl was both intense and very funny as Niki Lauda. The great man enjoyed the film.

Ron Howard's best film by far, this scene always cracks me up.

Stunned Russell has not been given a grid penalty for the next race. No one thinks Russell is not wholly to blame for the crash...blocking gets you a 5 place grid penalty. Something seems fucked with the FIA and Merc

Per Merc: Mercedes chose to try something different with Russell by sending him off on hard tyres. That didn't work out well.

In a world where Clark/Stewart/Senna/Schumi have been around its questionable to put Lewis as the GOAT

In fact its a dubious claim to put Lewis in the top 5

I haven't even mentioned Fangio or Ascari FFS

Getting really turned off of F1 with Toto always whining and crying.
Complains about the safety of his drivers due to porpoising and gets the rule changes he wants, but complains about a safety car.
Fuck off Toto.

Yes Fuck off Toto. FIA are prepared to lsiten to his whining and give him what he wants. If Lewis Hamilton doesn't win every race from Paul Ricard onward, he no GOAt.

Jannik Sinner blew a 2-0 lead against the resilient Novak Djokovic, he can't change his name to Lando Sinner just yet.

FIA wants a monopoly in F1. There's no need for Lewis Hamilton to retire, he's virtually guaranteed his 8th F1 title. If it happens, it will be his 3rd championship won through politics.
