    It’s not normal for me to feel this way, but … I feel… Sad for George? Like man he was really fighting well for that one and then just saw his season slip away right there, no fault of his own

    I’m not his biggest fan but I was feeling for him there

      He’s been in a good-but-not-great car so far, this is his chance to win the championship, but he’s getting beaten by the team’s young new guy and now his car gives in at a decisive moment. It honestly sucks for him.

        Yeah he’s not my guy and in fact he regularly rubs me the wrong way… But that still hurts to watch any competitor lose out like that. I love watching a loss based on merit, never fun to watch someone lose for a technical issues. The first half of that race was great, too - we all missed out!

    It was fun until Russell retired. A 43 pts lead is substantial, but the season is long and I doubt Kimi can perform at this level consistently.

      Ham hunting Ver was also entertaining! And well, I doubt Russel can perform at this level on other circuits 😆 I see him beaten by the Papayas often in the future, Ant isn’t going anywhere and will only improve

      Dude was hellishly angry getting out of that car. Pretty much as angry as he was when he took out Bottas on a wet straight in the Williams.

      Happy to see Lewis in the mix. I didnt focus on him much during his winning streak, but to see him suffer in the downforce car, then be bumped for Antonelli - It’s great to see the podium and hopefully a win in the future. (No shade on Antonelli - he’s on fire)

        I find the contrast between Russell gentlemanly British accent and his short temper really funny.

        Ferrari really changes face once they get to harder tires. Ant should watch and rewatch carefully how Ham pulled off that overtake.

    Was a fun race that. Excellent battle between the mercs at the front, shame to see it end in such an anticlimactic fashion.
