    That race was boring AF then went completely bonkers.

    LOL at Ferrari's self-inflicted wounds yesterday. Looking forward to Hungary this weekend.

    Seems like a season full of Mercedes double wins and Verstappen being the only one slightly competing with em due to his immense talent.

    He provided just about the only excitement in the race Sunday -- the first race would have been just as bad without a fluke. F1 needs a hard reboot hopefully next season brings some real change.

    Yeah... But it's been encouraging to see McLaren performing well.

    German media saying Vettel has agreed to a deal with Aston Martin, could be an intriguing combo.

    Breh always at the limit, hope the car isn't completely wasted.

    The rain should still make it an unpredictable race, hopefully.

    This picture is really telling of the last few years. Lewis and Mercedes is just a cut above everyone else.



    The season is still really interesting with the midfield shaking out, though. I’m just starting to learn about F1 and love it. They’ve done a great job of marketing their drivers (and their sport) with the Netflix show.There are so many talented drivers and great story lines. Great race for Albon today after the quals mishap. Love to see Stroll and Perez knocked out of 3/4, too. BWT has come out strong. I read that they’re using Mercedes exact 2019 car, lol. Stroll is investing a lot in Aston Martin from what I’ve heard. If you can’t beat em, join em I suppose. I like the idea of adding a cap, so we’ll see if Mercedes remains top dog in 2-3 years.

    Pole, fastest lap, and the win for Hamilton -- super impressive, but that level of domination is a bit boring for the fans. Reminds me of when I was a kid and would max the Skyline out in Gran Turismo.

    I'm excited to (finally) see the musical about him on Disney+.

    Can't believe they fixed the suspension in time -- props to his crew.

    Race last week was ridiculous again until the last lap -- if Max wouldn't have pitted... It was interesting watching him scream up on Hamilton just ran out of time.

    Hülkenberg third in qualifying, what a performance.
    Really hope he joins a good team next season, one of the most underrated drivers in recent f1 history.

    Ricciardo needs to see a sports psychologist I think.

    This season is a nightmare for betting sites and book keepers.

    I bet Max can’t wait for Lewis to retire. I used to dislike Max but he’s growing on me. Ferrari has a very meh car this year. I keep waiting for them to turn the corner, but LeClerc is generally outperforming their car it seems. I wonder where Vettel goes next year...Racing Point makes a lot of sense. Mercedes just has a better car than everyone else. They’re like the Astros from 2017-2019. Just playing a different sport. It’s kind of embarrassing for the other teams that Racing Point can use the 2019 Mercedes car and it basically makes them automatically better than every other team outside of Mercedes & Max.
