    Was at the GP over the weekend. Camped Thurs-Monday.

    Broken man but I highly recommend going once if you are into it. Incredible weekend.

    To many rules and regulations now, F1 has lost its spark. The hayday for me was when Mansell and Senna were at the top of their game, podium full of talented drivers like Piquette, Schumacher, Prost, Alesi, fantastic drivers cars were good but they needed driven. DRS, lightwight carbon fibre, more buttons on the wheel than a switchboard ar sky, just taken the essence away from it for me.

    Have to admit I do have a wee soft spot for Lando and love him or hate him Jos really reminds me of Nicky Lauder, that desire for perfection and to be Nr1.

    Would love to see someone else other than Max win... But theres not a chance! Cars miles ahead of even Checo's & its his home race.

    Race for 2nd only entertainment, Hope Lando holds it.

    Checo & Max drive completely different cars.

    Max could fall to 20th on 1st lap & be 1st within a few laps. Great driver but far superior car to his teammate

    They * Checo with that strategy too. He should of been given priority but it’s just never gonna happen.

    Constantly doing him over! Must b brutal to b his teammate.
    As per prime LH mind you, Bottas was quite comfortable though

    Not a fan of F1 but what is going on with Hamilton?
    Poor car and or lost his way.
    Or a combination of both ?

    Aye the car mate! Merc were on top for some years but its fell off big time last 2 seasons. They now find themselves in unfamilar territory with the strategies and there all over the shot.

    LH still a great driver, put him in that redbull and he'd b competing.

    I know its down to Ferrari mostly, but I can see this being Leclerc's last season in the red.

    Hate Verstappen, hate his fans, but the Dutch GP looks class to be at.

    Looks like there’s some atmosphere there.
    That was probably the most interesting GP for a while but even at that it was an easy win for Verstappen.
    Becoming far too predictable.

    Watching the qualifying repeat just now on Sky. Deliberately didn’t look at the results so it would be like watching it live. During the adverts before Q3 they * advertise the race and give you the grid positions :39:
