I'm going in with the expectations that it will be a parade and hopefully something cool happens.

The fans will be nuts, if Max wins the Dutch fans will consider it the greatest GP ever run.

It will be like Senna winning in Brazil...

Although I don't think Max would show the emotions that Senna had for winning at home.

The competitive niggle between Formula 1 title rivals Red Bull and Mercedes appears to be continuing as Red Bull has made a query to the FIA regarding the sensors of the Mercedes power unit which record the engine’s inlet plenum temperatures

Just saw the first run on the track and damn it looks really tight. Only see the last corner as a true overtaking spot, and even that will be courtesy of DRS.

I hope we are all wrong about this track.

Lewis Hamilton insists George Russell needs to 'show respect'
quote:

But the seven-time world champion called on the incoming 23-year-old to ‘respect’ the harmony within the team.

As Sportsmail revealed on Thursday, Hamilton was dismayed to learn the ambitious Russell would replace Valtteri Bottas, his compliant Finnish team-mate of the past five years, who is destined for Alfa Romeo.
He's not even there yet and Hammy is going full bitch mode.

How many more years are we going to have to watch this guy? So frustrating that this guy has a seat with so many quality drivers available outside of F1.

It’s an expensive sport, and he brings money, and that reality isn’t going to change.

There’s no reason to be frustrated about that though. Life isn’t about raw ability. It’s more complicated. Fairness is one of things you just have to set aside.

Everything but confirmed.

The report he is dismayed is based on a super secret inside source. And it is a Daily Mail article.

Kimi tested positive for Covid, won't be racing. Might miss Monza because of restrictions in The Netherlands and Italy. Kimi was vaccinated.

Kubica is the backup driver

Max under investigation for a red flag infraction in FP2. It was really close, depends on what footage they want to use. Would be shitty given Stroll was going so slow at the time and Max looked to be on a flying lap.

FP3 showing a real lack of grip. Vettel, Schumacher, Norris all ended up going across the gravel at different places.

Sainz busted up his car pretty bad. Will make quali tough.

streamable of crash

Makes a red flag for all three FP sessions.

It seems like the race is going to be a mess.

Turn 3 is unexpectedly interesting. It looks like F1 taking the high line on a NASCAR short track.

Sainz losing control coming out of Turn 2 seems really weird. I don't remember seeing anyone else having any issues going through there.

Yeah this is such a weird track with the banking and it seems claustrophobic compared to all of the other circuits except for Monaco.
