Also, anyone fancy a punt on when the Honda's will blow up on Sunday?
I'm thinking somewhere around laps 20-25

I wouldn't be surprised if one of them blows BEFORE Sunday.

Well, that was a thing. A Torro Rosso thing.

Um, so changing the bet to when something falls off a Haas.

Being aware of spoilers for people, shall just say that was more interesting than I was expecting

Whats up with the thing above the cockpit? Looking at the race atm and the first thing I noticed was a weird looking arch....

Not F1, but MotoGP was a great race today.

The new Halo to protect drivers heads from horror show crashes when cars come over the top, lose tyres and general armco interaction.
Strangely you get used to them pretty quicky

Always thought they should add a covering canopy as on a fighter jet. Both for protection and better aerodynamics.
But I guess the rules and tradition states that F1 should be open top cars.

Indeed that was an idea, but the open cockpit won out

Wonder how the mechanic is, that looked like a super nasty break

I’m just glad that espn decided to broadcast without commercial interruptions. Getting basically free distribution rights and then refusing to spend a single $ on production for the first race really turned me off. Much better this time around.

"Fracture"? That's certainly understated medical speak if you've seen the slow motion replay 🤮

Yeah that was pretty bad, reminded me of Gordon Hayward in October. Always hate seeing leg injuries

Hamilton post race says “I’m Happy with the result”

Hamilton’s face says otherwise.


Great race interesting that Honda was ahead of the McLarens....

I really think Mercedes should've kept Bottas on the 2 stop strategy and have him push Vettel to make his tires go off once Kimi had to drop out. That way his tires would've been way worse or he would've been forced to pit while keeping Lewis on the 1 stop in their back pocket. There was no way they were under threat from any other car.
