Formula One ( F1 )

He has the worst luck at the moment.

Max V is getting better at not being pissy in the interviews, I appreciate the frustration he must have, almost certainly a future world champion. Just needs to keep his head down and crack on.
How many of his DNFs were his fault?

Depends who you ask.

The Magnussen/Massa/Ocon battle was great to watch though.

I almost prefer watching those than whats happening up front.

Hulkenberg has shit luck as well!

Williams are no where and they have a Merc engine -i think they ditched development on that car very early in the season as they realised it was a dog (again!) ..........

i think the fact Aston Martin are looking at F1 means the new engine regs make them very simple (and hopefully loud) engines indeed....

Agreed.

Kvyat out, Gasly in

The Russian has failed to impress his team (Toro Rosso)

I am liking how the FIA are making their Thursday conference picks based on maximising drama:

Nice one Max.

It's been quite a while since Bottas had a decent race, might prove costly if Ferrari/Red Bull keep up their momentum for next season.

NFA re vettel / stroll post race crash

It's great for Ham though, no team mate to split the points with.

Hope we get to see Verstappen v Sainz in top cars soon.

2017 is not really Max’s year is it?

I'm with Niki on this one ;-) but no matter what the final outcome, fastest guy on the track and very interesting race for a change

Hadn't watched a race from start to finish in years, then I watch Austin 2017.

9/10. Some brilliant driving on display.

Thought the OTT driver introduction thing was actually pretty good fun too.

Imagine the rage and bile-spewing going throughout forums and twatter...

Hartley did well for his first race and very limited seat time.

Verstappen robbed.

What are the chances that the points that Sainz brings to Renault over the coming races wins Renault more prize money than it took to cancel Palmer's contract?

With regard the Verstappen being robbed issue, Mark Webber said it right on live television: "It was a shit decision!"

Ferrari throwing their toys out of the pram (again) over proposed engine plans.

A little unnecessary as all the other manufacturers object also.

I'm sure that article isn't at all ridiculously biased.

Ha, fair point.
