Phew

 

Oh dear.

 

Half of Sainz’s podiums he hasn’t been able to celebrate now haha

 

So sad.

On the other hand it probably guarantees Williams finishing ahead of Alfa Romeo now which is great news for their future.

 

Here is that awesome pass

 

Absolutely bonkers race yesterday. Hamilton coming back through the field after that lonely start was great to watch. Incredible stuff from Ocon to hold Vettel at arm's length all race too. A lot of people are (quite rightly) praising the rear gunner job Alonso did all race, but Ocon still had nail every corner to keep Vettel behind him.

Great stuff for Williams too. Not sure what Alfa were doing yesterday. They seemed hell bent on destroying their own race.

The couple of battles Mick had were a lot of fun too. Someone get him a better car.

I think the penalties that Bottas and Stroll got were about in line with what we've seen before. It's another case where you have to judge the mistake and not the result. Bottas' cock up was a little more understandable in my eyes; Lando pulls in in front of him, which will cost him downforce, none of them have done a wet lap yet (it rained after the laps to the grid) and he was boxed in all sides. It's a pretty shit mistake, but I don't think he was trying to do anything stupid. Although I do agree he's really disappointing in general in the wet.

Stroll on the other hand was a long way back and still massively misjudged it and his evasive action was to throw his car across the inside of the corner, towards the other cars...That was proper spirit of Grosjean stuff.

 

Indycar at Nashville is still going, but this track has been a complete disaster

 

It was a mess. Ericsson somehow winning after going airborne is a legendary performance though haha

 

About the time the stream of water started on the track I just gave up on it being a good race... then the last half had some great racing!

 

For everyone who didn’t watch, Ericsson comes back and wins after this

 

LeMans 24 Hours in two weeks; so excited. It's the one time of the year every year that I force myself to stay up all night watching it, through the end of the race (usually 8am central time on Sunday)

 

Really great race at Road America this weekend

 

Nashville was most watched IndyCar race on cable in 23 years

 

The best automotive race in the world, the LeMans 24 Hours, is this weekend; starts at 9am central time tomorrow. Free stream links will be posted here: https://www.reddit.com/r/motorsportsstreams/ . Qualifying highlights below

 

Rumours going around that one of the four seated F1 drivers in the Red Bull umbrella has covid.

Let’s hope not.
