    I can see Lando getting a 5 second penalty, which would really mess up any team order options for McLaren.

    I gotta say that during Max’s resurgence I was seriously debating not renewing my subscription for next year. I was just bored of the entire sport even though everything is so close and it’s much more thrilling than those dominant seasons we’ve become used to.

    I’m sort of excited for today’s event but I’m not 100% sure I’ll be along for the ride next year. You get maybe 6 interesting races, the rest is all just processions that take a couple of hours.

      Next year is the biggest regulation change in decades. DRS will be gone. There’ll be another team on the grid, or two really with Audi. And the first year of a set of regulations is always crazy cool imo. Development race will be wild, we’ll have many different aero concepts at the start, the new engines will probably have reliability issues for a while…

      Of all the times to stop watching, this one I can’t really understand. If course if what you want is tons of overtaking and wheel-to-wheel then there is no guarantees, but when was that ever guaranteed in F1?

      I’m glad I don’t pay for it, I definitely wouldn’t have stuck around in 23 but hopefully the new regs don’t lead to the same thing happening again

    There is no way in hell that Lando get pennalty. He can do whatever he want, stewards(most of them british) have his back. This is the situation if you play in world cup final and referee is your fan.

      if you look at how Tsunoda behave vs Norris and vs Leclerc it was wrong behaviour with Norris.

    Tsunoda’s now the one ahead of Norris. Japanese minister of defense™️ activated.

    Four racing laps to go, utterly tedious in the podium places for almost the entire race but some exciting battles going on down the field!

    Not surprised the stewards didn’t want to penalize Norris there. Will Red Bull file a complaint?
