    What a drive from Alonso!

    What happened to these mercs

    Ferrari being a shit show is more dependable than my alarm clock.

      Yeah the Mercs were terrible, I don’t see Lewis taking second in the championship as things stand right now

    A little teensy disappointed Perez didn’t get P3, but seeing Alonso back on the podium again makes up for it and then some.

    But man, what a battle between those two. With a photo finish!

    If by some miracle Vegas turns out to be a low deg surface with reasonable grip things are going to get spicy up front between Max and Lando.

    Sign me the fuck up.

      If it’s low deg, Piastri can go toe to toe with Norris. It’s tire management where Norris makes the difference compared to his teammate. Not sure if that would be a positive or negative for McLaren when fighting for a win…

    It seemed that merc ran the car a little higher to avoid plank wear. That would explain why they struggled even though they bolted a high downforce setup. Anyway it puts to rest the theory that they did not gain anything from running a illegally low setup in Austin.

      Not really sure about that. Merc has been really inconsistent in performance, especially on sprint weekend… But this was definitely an abysmal weekend… We shall see how they perform next to confirm if low ride height did aid them…but would not be surprised…if that’s the case as well…

    And the next GP is Las Vegas, has anyone done it on a SIM or something? The layout looks very bad, but maybe I’m not seeing it like I should.

    Still bummed that Brazil is not finishing out the calendar anymore. What a race, amazing drive from Lando and the Perez/Alonso battle was a treat.

    If Leclerc didn’t have bad luck he will have none at all.

    Alonso is still showing the kids how it’s done.

    Warmed my heart to see little whinning Russell DNFing.

    Also, I guess it is too much to ask Perez to drive the Red Bull like it’s the best car in the grid.

    Happy to see Lando and Alonso on the podium.

    Happy to see Yuki picking up points! Really want to see him in a more capable car in the future.
