Had to watch on delay. Mclaren threw away another chance at a win with horrid pitstops.. Worst on the grid.

Norris is right there. Max was terrific again today.

NO CHANGES ARE LIKELY IN EFFECT MID SEASON..... if that were true, why isn't Bearman now at Ferrari after that surprise start replacing Sainz..... or why hasn't Hamilton jumped to Ferrari for 2024 rather than stay at Mercedes AMG when that news broke
Because Sainz is under contract, has not been fired and is otherwise a significantly better driver than Bearman?

Sainz is one of the best drivers in all of motorsports, for a competitive team it would be insane to replace him with a rookie just because he'll be somewhere else next season. Teams like Haas or Alpine have decidedly different situations.

Sainz isn't under contract if he's being replaced by Hamilton in 2025..... LeClerc even talked about that this past weekend
I obviously meant under contract in 2024...

And also way, way, way different from the possible Ocon/Magnussen situation I alluded to.

Ferrari couldn't get a better driver than Sainz if they fire him today (and Alpine couldn't get a better driver than Ocon either).

Haas and Magnussen? Completely different scenario.

rumor is Alpine may be in the running for Sainz, just like Mercedes/Williams potentially was.... nothing is changing unless Alpine has a reserve driver in play if the scenario between Gasly and Ocon isn't capatible

on to Austria we go....

Mick Schumacher isn't any good
This is the most surprising story I've read all year. No one could have seen this coming.

Lancelot is worse

Norris' effort in fighting Verstappen was very... Bottas-esque.


... and it has been way too many other times as well.

Here's my biggest takeaway from the sprint race... we need more Davide Valsecchi on the broadcasts. And damn that man has some legendary hair. That hairline could repel an attack from a Roman legion.

Him and Alex Jacques used to be a really fun duo.

Also, Haas will pick up 6th and 8th. Making it tougher for Alpine to climb up. Good.

Norris destroyed his own race, but a Red Bull collapse notwithstanding if he wants to be a World Champion one day he'll inevitably need to keep measuring his balls with Verstappen.

I mean, that's his only hope, because he's well behind in the brains and the guts department.
