I can understand his frustration. He carries that team. Where has Checho been in the last few races to help RB up front?

The true Dutch mentality of Max. Funny how it's all so surprising for others. You say what you think, wether it's positive or negative. Add a little frustration and there you go. Normal.
As much as I like to see him win as a fellow Dutchman, F1 is finally looking up to be exciting again, which is great news. Let him work for it.
Also congrats to Oscar. I hate to say that it was kinda handed to him, but then again, winning is winning. Big achievement regardless. Cool guy, cool team.

The good news is that F1 drama is back and without drama, F1 is putrid dog shit. So your prayers have been answered ladies and gentleman.

Nigel Mansel buggered off to the gold club (correct me if I'm wrong, I might be thinking of somebody else)) after each session so how is this any different?

This is the kind of shit that will make Max bugger off. Maybe even out of Formula 1 all together. Some drivers will not be controlled by the politics. The absolute greatest will not be controlled by the politics.

Spa is the worst place to be as a spectator. It is torture to get there, to endure the elements, and you will be stuck there until midnight while everyone trying to leave the venue.
And they still have not built any grand stands on main straight. Everyone is literally sitting in the mud.

Milton is in a position to win. He just has to play his cards right, as he usually does and he'll be on the top step. But Spa is Spa and unpredictable.

Man the first laps Hamilton was looking like his old self, great driving.
Hate to say it but I have to give it up to Russell, I thought for sure that Hamilton would catch him within the the last 2-3 laps… just never happened.
Russell wins… again… : /

Someone at merc is going to get fired, unlucky for Russel, but Hamilton deserved the win anyway so no big deal.

I know rules are rules, but that's still a deflating end to a great race. Perez as useless as ever, gone by Monday?

Russell disqualified from Belgian Grand Prix
George Russell has been disqualified from the result of the Belgian Grand Prix after his Mercedes was found to be underweight after the race, meaning that team mate Lewis Hamilton is now the winner.

Man, we are back baby! F1 is so much more fun when there is a legitimate fight at the top and it comes down to strategy, drivers, and fast cars.
Absolute bummer about Russell he raced a great race. Took some gambles, and it worked. That’s no way to lose (or win a race). No one likes that.

Seems like Mercedes knew and tried to cover it up, they are also claiming using too much of the tire tread, so looks like they should've called Russell in.

Such a crazy season with another team getting a 1-2 finish. I would never have guessed that after watching the first few races of the season.
Apparently Checo is staying for the rest of the year - seems like a likely constructors win for McLaren and maybe even Ferrari will end up being a threat for Red Bull.

If you had "fuck you money" and you could build a villa close to a racing course because you will obviously use it on the weekends, where would you pitch that tent? My answer is Fuji Speedway. For a myriad of reasons.

How are they going to staple that thing back together? Respect if they get that thing with four wheels intact on the tarmac by tomorrow.

That was exciting. Pretty sure Max was going to bin it in the last corner because he was on the ragged edge there. The on boards were scary.
Good quali lap from Norris.

Fastest lap on final lap says Lando is this year's world champion.

Need sto get a few more people between him an max in at least a couple of races (or a max DNF), but could be on the cards for sure.
Max, and a Mercedes will probably win again this season, maybe even Ferrari.

Lando is a worthy champion. Even though he is a fuckwit in daily life which is par for the course with new this generation.
Max needs to come second this year and minimize damage.

As enjoyable as it would be I can't see Lando making up 70 points in 9 races. The constructor's on the other hand, is definitely up for grabs given how useless Perez is.

He could do it but he needs one of these
that he can fire backwards at Max.

I just remembered that McLaren will have to take an engine penalty some time this year and that McLaren does not do well in dirty air.

Really? 20 seconds ahead of the Red Bull at Zandvoort, with enough meat on the tyres to get fastest lap on the final lap.

Nope. Not this year. Max is just too far ahead. And Lando hasn’t yet shown he can be that consistent. Plus, Oscar is driving that same car. And is also excellentReally? 20 seconds ahead of the Red Bull at Zandvoort, with enough meat on the tyres to get fastest lap on the final lap.
