Sainz on that restart getting sent into the wall and then tagged again, was like Julius Caesar out there, everyone taking a stab.

So I got one more race out of the TT, which I think was a friday thing. It was a shortened supersport 2, and there were supposed to be 2 more races that day, but I haven't seen anything posted.

It might be because monaco and hungary gp were going on, but I dunno. I'm too afraid of spoilers to goog.

I think I made the right decision not getting the pass. With no sidecar and shortened / cancelled races this year.

I woke up to the yelling of the commentary dudes. Those brits really lose their minds when Lewis wins haha. Too bad Crofty wasn't there.

Only F1 I've watched this year is recaps after the fact. Not subscribing anymore, not interested in the car's performance (or lack of) and the politics are just ridiculous with the FIA and Ben being cunts.
Pretty damn disappointing.

You and a lot of other people. Viewership is down 40-50% YOY. Absolute shitshow. Drivers warned them the formula is shit years ago, and they got ignored. They are going to wind up like all the other racing series. People tune out and never tune back in.

I guess you could say now Mercedes views Kimi as their WDC contender. They made George switch with him yesterday.

Pretty good race yesterday. It sucked to see Max crash, but that Red Bull car has had those issues all season with the rear tires.

60 points ahead is a pretty clear indicator.

I would say it would just take a DNF to make things interesting, but George honestly has been slow for most of the season especially considering how fast the Mercedes car is. Even a DNF would be a non-factor at this point.

I would say George needs some serious luck on his side to salvage a win this season, at least one DNF for Kimi and George needs to step up and start finishing ahead of him in races.

at the next GP in Monza, Kimi will start at the back of the grid due to taking a penalty with a engine change. Probably the best track to take a grid starting position hit like that. If he manages to finish in top 3-5 when he's poised for the championship even if Russell wins.

George has had 2 DNFs so far? I can't remember. But, that's probably 40 or so points. If not for that, he'd be in the hunt.

Wouldn't mind seeing Charles act like an adult.

George is boned now that Mclaren is competitive. Kimi took advantage of Mercedes early season advantage, and as the field catches up in development, closing the gap is gonna be trickier and trickier.

Also, George just isn’t as fast or consistent this year. Top 5 or 6 driver, but not a super star.

Alpine has been knocking on the door all season for something like this today. It's great to see. Hopefully they can make it happen tomorrow and the rest of the season.
