Yep. Think TSU was warned about turn 1, but don't remember 14 being talked about during the race.

Can't think Max was the only one to break it.

Hoping Rosberg is doing the post race interviews.

Like seeing how Lewis and him still hate each other.

They didn’t show the live driver of the day poll leaders and took a long time to announce the “winner.” As expected, Mazepin won but they overruled it and gave it to Perez.

Hilarious

Rewatching the beginning that I missed.

On lap 16 and they’re talking about how Norris’ softs are already going away.

Do the 4-5 safety car laps at the beginning of the race not help with tire wear and prolong their life?

I didn't expect Haas to come in and kick arse or anything but their performance is embarrassing.

I was wondering what was the deal. Lando might have deserved it more than Perez.

Looks like Zak Brown is going to have to honor the offer to Patricio O'ward and see what he can do in a F1 car.

eta: Zak just responded "see you in Abu Dhabi" to Pat'O.

Speaking of, there should be an IndyCar Season thread. It looks like a lot more even competition, new faces, and great racing than in years past.

Indy has some great young drivers. It has been fun seeing these young guys go toe to toe with the veteran drivers. I wish more people would give it a chance because it has some great drivers and great racing.

Nikita given a penalty point on his license for ignoring blue flags yesterday. I didn't expect much from him but so far he's shown he has no business in F1. At what point does his dad reconsider dumping money into(or buying) Haas for his son to flail around like a shite sandwich? Atleast with Stroll he's shown to be modestly competitive.

Season so far looks like more of the same. Maybe Red Bull have closed the gap a tiny bit but it’s still the Hamilton and Mercedes show. Perez is an improvement over Albon maybe.

This is the first weekend Merc looks to have any kind of advantage over RBR.

Two missteps by VER on turn 14 kept RBR racing from having pole and fastest lap.

Rosberg called out Red Bull for this. Saying that it was inexcusable that they gave up this race and I think RBR would agree. Merc's top speed on the straight was amplified by the DRS.

I have actually enjoyed this Indy season so far. Lots of great young guys, and older guys who have skill.

I’m gonna need a Drive to Survive: Indy Cars, to decide if I should watch it or not.

The Scott Dixon documentary is pretty good but its just so funny the level of budget differences between the two.

F1 vs INDY is almost lol funny when comparing the teams and tech.

But Indy is still badass, cars effing fly.

I can see how on paper it may look that way but that's pretty inaccurate. Red Bull haven't done themselves any favors yet this season and it just so happens those missteps have fallen right into Mercedes(mostly Lewis') hands. Red Bull has had the better car in 2 of the 3 races.

Right now it should be 2-1 Max/Lewis with Max in the lead, not the other way round and the constructors fight tighter than it is. I think we'll see Perez continuing to improve but his early results haven't helped their cause much.
