McLaren on pole over Verstappen but if history is any guide Verstappen will shove Norris off the track and Piastri and Russell will have a shot to get out of the first turn in the lead

McLaren beats Red Bull by about 22 seconds. Red Bull on notice they are under attack. Ferrari also with a great race.

I was surprised Mercedes struggled. They had been quite good recently. My presumption is it was the car since both drivers finished close to each other. I’m also curious why Piastri could not mount a better challenge to LeClerc. Give LeClerc credit for driving well but Piastri didn’t even try to overtake him.

Norris was able to smoke Verstappen. Something happened with Piastri. I’m just not sure if some mechanical component failed or what but it doesn’t make sense he couldn’t go past the Ferrari given what the car was capable of.

With IndyCar moving to FOX next year NBC has made Leigh Diffey their voice of NASCAR going forward. He is the best in the business currently. What a fantastic call of the race and that last lap with the winners Dad, Jeff Burton on the call with Diff.

Incredible drive from LeClerc, despite the fact that it came at the expense of my boy Oscar

A wild wreck too. Scary to have such a front hit while the driver is hanging on his restraints

I saw rhe end of the Indy car race on Sunday on whatever channel it was on. I hope the next TV deal does it better justice.

Logan finally got the boot from Williams. I can already hear Dale Coyne calling him up for an IndyCar ride.

with the driver's last name being flock he should have had a bunch of hens in the car instead

You don't get hurt bad rolling over. It's the vulnerable position that it leaves you in. His belts and seats don't work as well when hitting that wall. If this was before "safer barriers" and the Hans devices etc.. Josh suffers a bit more damage. Yeah the race was crazy thrilling. Par for the course for Daytona.

Antonelli binning it during FP1 is so funny

I’m sure he will laugh about it someday but right now I’m sure he’s steaming mad. Not as mad as Verstappen after qualifying who I’m sure will blame everyone but himself
