@WhiskeySandwich I haven’t had a chance to watch the coverage yet. I flew out of Austin (where I live) for a wedding and happened to see the Porsche Supercup qualifying out the window while taking off from the airport. It’s always a fun time when F1 comes to Texas!

No comment on the race, just here to say that David Croft is a terrible commentator. Every race he waffles on about something that isn’t actually happening. „ooh, George Russell catching Oscar at a rate of knots.“ no you idiot, that’s Kimi Antonelli. Granted, they drive the same car, but the car in front was very obviously not orange
-
Cue Jaws theme. Hoping Norris wins but here for it if the best driver of his generation wins another.
-
I'm looking forward to seeing who wins the Driver's this year, it's becoming a red-hot proper competition. I want Oscar to win, it's my patriotic allegiance. I'd be happy if Lando won, because he's been in the fight the whole time and is a great driver. And if Max wins then it proves just how excellent he is to come back so strongly late in the season.
As for the race today, it was a bit of a letdown after the excitement of the Sprint race.

@Tago-Mago
this is why I listen to Jolyon and Alex, their analysis is on point, even if the camera happens to look at the wrong battle half the time. -
Tip of the cap to the prancing horse. Got the strategy right (unusually).
-
Ha, sounds a bit like a broken watch is correct twice a day, @Giles!
Also, Lewis does fashion. Whether he is fashionable is something I will leave to others to comment.

okay, so I just checked out Jolyon's analysis, and despite singing his praises earlier, I gotta disagree with him on Oscar being free from liability in the sprint inchident. While do agree that it was a racing inchident, and also agree there was no need to penalize (DNF was penalty enough, especially including his teammate), Oscar was the primary cause, at least more than anyone else. Any other situation, that switchback squaring off the corner would have been a fantastic move, but not the first corner, where there is guaranteed to be half the field coming through that gap that he closed without reading the risk of that move in those conditions. It would have worked any other time. I think some cracks are forming from the pressure, but I also think he'll still get the WDC. Maybe the stewards did consider him at fault during their investigation but decided he'd punished himself enough already...
Don't get me wrong, I'm an Oscar fan, but I'm still rooting for the best driver on the grid to get his 5th. Its funny because he's an underdog this year.

@WhiskeySandwich said in Motor Sport:
he's an underdog this year
Watching his post-race interview, I don't think Max is an underdog. I think he is enjoying the challenge of fighting back. Only thing more dangerous than an angry Max, might just be a happy Max.
It's going to be a tight end to the season.

My wife surprised me with some custom gear for my CDMX birthday celebration!
-
Qualy in CDMX was a blast! Love the starting grid and can hardly wait for tomorrow.
Think it, be it.

hope for a Ferrari 1-2

What's the atmosphere like @mclaincausey?
Those stands in Mexico makes it looks like the circuit drives through a football stadium. Must be an awesome vibe.
-
Man @mclaincausey you got to see a hell of a race! Hope you enjoyed it! Killer drive by Lando!
-
Why were the crowd booing Lando @mclaincausey?
