It's been a bit transitory lately it seems. Mercedes were rolling for a few races before falling off this past weekend. Ferrari started the season well for falling off themselves. McLaren has really found another level of race pace lately although something was off with Piastri. You'd think in the car that could open up a nearly 23 second lead with a bad start that Piastri could have passed LeClerc but it was not meant to be for some reason. At least the races are open as I don't think Norris is quite the dominant driver that Verstappen is and I don't expect him to run the table in the remaining races even if he wins another two or three.

Niels Koolen was just signed at AIX in F2 in replacement of Taylor Barnard (gone to FE) and I think Ragunathan would beat him by 1.5 seconds on Red Bull Ring.
the only major hiccup of the week is the unfortunate incident w/ the Safety car @ Monza;

Good chance there is a connection there. Senior Sainz is a very, very connected man.
Should be a fascinating Monza today.

Fornaroli clinches the F3 title with an absolute divebomb into Parabolica in the final lap, final corner of the season. Unreal. Interlagos 2008 has nothing on this.

That was a legitimately crazy fun race with crazy fun finish.Fornaroli clinches the F3 title with an absolute divebomb into Parabolica in the final lap, final corner of the season. Unreal. Interlagos 2008 has nothing on this.
It's one thing to win a championship on a divebomb, it's another to win on a divebomb into Parabolica.
Ferrari was kinder to its tires compared to the McLaren which I think ultimately decided the race. Exciting race at least and the constructors championship is getting even closer.

I've said it many times already, but Norris is way too soft for someone who's supposed to be fighting for the title. To have started on pole seven times in your career, and lead zero times after lap one is quite impressive. That guy has immense talent but just lacks the killer instinct in my mind.
Colapinto's debut was by all means very solid, but then again Monza is probably the easiest track for a new driver. Nyck de Vries' memory is still very fresh. Let's see how he does in Baku, which will be one of the more driver dependent tracks.
Also Bearman most likely in for Magnussen who reaches 12 penalty points.

I got myself tickets for the 2025 Italian GP and I'm now thinking if I should go all out and go to the Dutch GP the previous week too. You know, you only live once and all that stuff.
