Eventful race indeed, still would've been nice if we got some actual rain though. Happy for Hadjar, best rookie out of a pack of promising rookies.

Can't wait for him to get downgraded to the Red Bull seat.

What a mess this qualifying was, entertaining though. It lasted longer than a typical race too.

Well, the main event was yesterday but nice to see Sainz and Lawson holding on to their front positions rather well.

Really bad weekend from Piastri; I wonder if the Monza team orders' controversy actually affected him a bit.

I was more thinking if the reverse car was slightly different. This is Piastri first major mistake and seeing how he bounce back in Singapore will be nice.

Tsunoda also has a great weekend. The Lawson train fight was great to watch

Am I the only one thinking max isn't out of it yet, he's dominated the last two races and there is a long way to go.

Crazier things have happened I suppose, but Max would have to beat Oscar with an average of 10 points every race for the remaining 7 races. Unless Azerbaijan wasn't a fluke and we're expecting to see the two McLarens regularly out of points or scrambling around in the midfield from now on, I'd say that's very unlikely

Norris vs Oscar battle is, however, far from over. Norris is only 25 points behind, which is an average of 3 points every race, one DNF for Oscar with Norris on pole, or win 6 of the remaining 7 races if Oscar always comes in second.

Pressure is a strange thing, the two mclaren boys will feel it more and more as the season goes on. Couple DNFs in the last races can easily happen.

Meanwhile Max comfortably leading the GT3 race on the Nürburgring on his weekend off.

Almost starting to feel sorry for the guy. "Hey, let's find new challenges! Oh, I'm immediately P1 and much, much faster than everyone else.."

Yeah, Max' only challenger is the clock. I'm sure he's enjoying himself though.

I'm beginning to understand Toto's persistance of trying to contract him..

Gratz to George, too bad Max had problems with his car. Tense race for the latter but a bit boring for us unfortunately.

Congrats to McLaren as the 2025 constructors champion

Oskar felt a little petty whining about Norris passing him at the start. Especially after he's done that exact same thing to Norris so many other races already.

Norris did so by making contact though, the No1 papaya rule not to break. This after the team orders we saw at Monza and being twice told during races to dial it down after almost (bot not actually!) making contact. Look at this incident from Oscar's perspective, both literally and figuratively; Doesn't take much empathy to understand his disgruntlement at least.

On another note: There were actually quite a few overtakes during this race, especially at the end, but TV direction managed to miss almost all of them. If F1 wants to make things more interesting, the broadcasts themselves are a good place to start.
