McLaren had 2-3 circuits per season in which they were doing decent(i think it's layout based) and the Spain one seems to be one of them this year?; they were middle of the pack last year, but this years' track changes might've benefited their cars more.

is Alpine pace sustainable in the future, or it's also circuit layout based?;(on some it's good, but on most layouts, their pace is average at best?).

A bit of a snooze fest. Max is so far ahead of everyone

Yeah, including his team mate.

The Merc upgrades seem to be working but it doesn't help when AM drops some pace at the same time..

Title race is pretty obviously done at this point - I think the thing to watch is how AM / Merc / Ferrari (lol) are doing. Currently seems like Merc's trajectory there is best. Hopefully they can challenge in 2025 or so

I'm amazed Russell was able to continue after that impact!

That was a perfectly fine stop by Verstappen. What the hell are the Sky commentators talking about?

E: Seriously Sky commentary is ridiculous at times, this nonsense about Norris' penalty..

well now he cannot so;

This race was anything but boring; Canada never ever disappoints; the finale might be even more lit than the rest of the race

I don't understand this. I thought it was quite boring for the most part. People couldn't pass vastly slower cars. That Albon train was ridiculous. Only Norris able to go for some passes now and then.

There were overtakes throughout most of the race, I also enioyed it far more than spain.

The midfield had loads of battles, DRS train or not. Stroll passed bottas on the finish line, that was pretty cool.

Not a lot of action in the top 6 though which is a shame.

18 of the last 19 races were won by RB…

I thought it was an ok race. We had 2 overtakes for 2nd place and single digit differences between the top places, not too bad.

So many lap times deleted in the Austrian quali

In other news, pity about the reddit F1mods quitting. The quality there has certainly dropped.

Hulkenberg. What a sprint drive.

Sad news from the junior series
