Do we think this will be enough? I'm hopeful, but skeptical...

It's just hard to enjoy the 'racing' when the PU's battery is running the show.

That was a pretty exciting race! It seems like they fixed a lot of what was wrong with the regs. Good action. Much less like Mario kart

They went motor racing today.

Kimi is looking awfully special. Great race all around!

Hahahahahaha

Max is giving us a masterclass.......

I'm still not a 100% fanboy, but I like him more and more every week........

Is this signalling to Toto or a shot over the Redbull bow?

I’m simultaneously not really a fan, amused by how he acts and what he says and does off the track, and feel privileged to see him drive in different disciplines.

It’s weird but where I sit with him.

@WhiskeySandwich I'm curious about the added rear wing aero some teams are adding.

Here In Australia myself and a friend get into a bit of rally. Only using rotary powered Mazdas.
I'm the navigator

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Go-For-Chill lol i been seeing some funny names for those. "the dog", "the hedgehog"... i keep wondering if/when we'll end up with insanely complex aero like the 18' Renault. It seems like its heading that way.

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Lukenstein thats awesome! man i want a FD so bad, one of my dream cars. Rotaries are so unique. Unusual to see one on the dirt, but super cool.

[WhiskeySandwich]

I'm all in on Leclerc this weekend! Lets go Ferrari!

My personal project
1974 Mazda RX3 sedan

Great colour @Lukenstein

I truly thought that Hamilton was done last year and had lost the mental drive to continue…happy to say I was very wrong and great to see him 2nd place in the standings.

Been watching the IOMTT highlights just now and couldn’t believe one rider went through the speed trap at over 199mph
Had to convert it into KMh for Jacob and then had to look up how fast an F1 car goes
Bike wasn’t far off

[WhiskeySandwich]

absolutely devastated for Leclerc. Max too. Psyched for Hadjar and the VCARBs. I cant believe the number of DNF's and penalties in that race, not to mention a disintegrating track. George though, man, this guy. I get the mis-served penalty and the frustration of that additional time, but backing up the pack at the hairpin on restart, wtf. Albeit, indirectly, he caused Sainz's DNF and Hulkenberg penalty. That was a head-scratcher for sure. He must have been ordered to block for Kimi against his will. This seems like it'd fall under "driving excessively slowly, erratically, or potentially dangerously" that pace would've put him way off his delta and it did result in multiple contacts, not to mention his intention was clear based on the gap to the car ahead was massively extended. Anywho, in the end i think he's making his own luck this season, and Kimi deserves every bit of success he's had, even if he has had a few lucky breaks.

[mclaincausey]

That was just a catastrophic race. Glad they got the restart at least but brutal viewing.

[WhiskeySandwich]

I felt like Leclerc hitting the same exact wall was punishment for laughing at Stroll hitting it first.
