Nice of Russell to take a point off Verstappen too.

Looks like another wank race, with an easy Red Bull 1-2.

It's just a fucking yawnathon
Red bull are so far ahead they wont be caught
Rules reset of 2026, they will dominate until then

That's the worrying thing. It's a long way to the next rules. And even then, there's no guarantee it won't just be someone else who turns up having found something nobody else has.

Yep, realised pretty late the race was on. Put it on as it's a decent time to sit down on a Sunday evening but I've already turned it off so I can get an early night before Boro

I was one of those that used to get up at the crack of dawn to watch the season openers in Australia in previous years etc. Now I just watch the 7/8 minutes highlights on YouTube.
I'm rapidly heading the same way

I’ve just watched Teds Notebook the last couple. Although I did watch this race and actually enjoyed it overall.

same. It's the bulk of the Mercedes years again - anyone can drive the 2nd car and finish 2nd in the Championship with the odd race win along the way. Alonso one of the few bright spots. Carries on like this and 6 of the 10 teams won't even break 100 pts in a 23 race season - 4 likely won't break 50 pts. Again and again reg changes aren't improving anything but Ferrari & Mercedes have no excuse for being this poor with the resources they haveI was one of those that used to get up at the crack of dawn to watch the season openers in Australia in previous years etc. Now I just watch the 7/8 minutes highlights on YouTube.

I've never been a big fan of F1, prefer motogp or the superbikes, and had the misfortune of listening to some of Sunday's race on 5live as I was driving home. The commentary was appalling and incredibly makes an event at the forefront of car technology sound dull. Surely even though it doesn't sound very competitive the commentary and summarising should be better.

Imola circuit being evacuated, the river that runs just behind the wall in the first part of the lap is very close to flooding the circuit, whole region is under a red weather alert.

Id run it in that, spice things up a bit
When Mercedes said they were bringing big upgrades for this race, I don't think they were planning on a periscope, sonar and torpedo tubes!

They're telling personnel not to go to the track unless otherwise told now, looking pretty bleak. There's a lot of people who live around the track as well, so hope they can all stay safe.

They need to cancel it. When theres lives at risk in the local area you cant be hosting a race
Then again they carried on in Saudi after a missile strike so

It's the FIA, after all. Where safety concerns and common sense always seem to play second fiddle to the money.

At least he didn't win it by 20 odd seconds. That's progress...I guess. In reality, it was mostly DRS trains and drivers managing tyres and brakes.
I was watching the MotoGP earlier on, as I often do. You had the top two of the championship fighting it out, with virtually nothing between them, for the last few laps. That was a proper race, really good racing. Their sprint races have been pretty good as well this year.

Pretty much the same. More interested to see Williams actually get properly in the points when I looked at the results.

Only problem with that is they've been so far ahead, they're probably already looking at next year's car, and will have the same advantage again.
I really don't see Perez lasting the season. At this rate, I'm not sure he'll survive the summer break. If Danny Ric is offered that seat, I can't see him saying no to it. I think he's already stated he would go to Alpha Tauri if it gave him a path back to a Red Bull seat.

Interesting to see what teams have learnt from the images of the underside of Perez's car from Monaco pics. The floor one of the main reasons for Red Bull advantage so that'll be analysed to the nth degree. Of course Newey will come up with something new next season to leave them ahead.
