Formula One ( F1 )

Oh come on man. I was 100% cheering on Schumacher there but that was just hard racing

Quite enjoyed that

Some serious anti-Verstappen bias at play, nothing more

I thought there were a few moments where mick should have been afforded the racing room and wasn’t given it.

New rules require it if wheels overlap.

There’s hard racing then there’s shutting the door.

Honestly, while Ferrari shot themselves in the foot with their strategy, it's nice to see team orders not being thrown at the first possible opportunity for a change.

Leclerc 100% deserved the win (and his stint after the safety car on old tyres was amazing to watch), but happy to see Sainz finally get his win

And while we're all arguing over who's the biggest bitch over the radio, Leclerc is cool as a cucumber as always (unless he's blaming himself, naturally)

Best race of the year so far

Paid for a sky day pass and because kids: missed the start, got yelled at and climbed on for most of the middle and missed the last 5 laps. Fuck my life.

Not to add insult to injury, but it was free to watch live on Channel 4

Oooooof

missed the start, and missed the last 5 laps. Fuck my life.

Charles, is that you?

Needs a "I AM STUPID!" or "NO! I did a shit job!"

I don’t think I recall a race that’s been this exciting in a long, long time. Absolutely bonkers. So pleased for Sainz to get his win.

Best part of the day of course was Zhou getting out of that car in one piece.

Be careful, you could drive a chap (back) to drink.

On the plus side, the entire thing is free to watch on All4 catch-up, as is the highlights show.

Hah! What a dope.

Nah, I’m good I splurged on Sky for weekend because I was dog-sitting so wasn’t going anywhere and was invested in the cricket and F1. Watched the highlights after the kids were in bed… with a cup of tea .

Incredible finish.

Ah, so you got value from watching us get thrashed at cricket. Phew.

Yep, definitely a happy finish.

My enjoyment of the India tests is mainly derived from saying “Bumrah”. And watching the Indian team generally being badass. Plus it doesn’t count, as technically the team that got thrashed in this test was the OLD England team. The New England team would never have collapsed like that. I’m not worried.

Best race of the year so far

100%

The lack of any 'no, after you good sir' DRS tactic moments was ++

Robust defence is robust

Yeah, still sticking by my orignal opinion on that. I'd rather F1 wasn't like that, but it is.

On a tangential note, looks like he never actually had a puncture and it was just the loss of rear downforce caused by floor damage. So don't think the comparisons you drew between that and Hamilton's comments at the start of the Spanish GP (where he was put in a position similar to 2nd place finisher Perez yesterday) hold up very well.

Surely you're not trying to argue that you've got some anti-Verstappen bias going on.

I assume you meant to add another negative in there? I’m absolutely anti-Verstappen.

I think he’s a shitty person, from a shitty family, and a cunt of a driver who takes away from the spectacle of fair racing rather than add to it.

My bias is purely from things like the above though as well as the many incidents vs Hamilton last season and others. I think it’s fair.

I assume you meant to add another negative in there?

Nope. Not sure what you mean by another negative. I didn't put any negative in there (not intentionally at least).
