  1. Karun (sp) starts off the post-race question by stating Oscar with his 50Th Grand Prix victory.
  2. Six different cars in the top-10. Piastri with a dominant victory. George 2nd, Norris 3rd. Chuck in 4th and Hamilton 5th. Max gets by Gasly for 6th and Gasly is 7th. Great drive by Bearman, from the back to 10th. Ocon in 8th and Yuki in 9th. Two HAAS in the points.
  3. Norris and Russell getting cheeky on the final lap. Russell holding on for 2nd.
  4. The Safety Car was a big deal in this one but, Norris has also done a really nice job after his penalty. Piastri with a very very good drive.
  5. Aston sitting at 17th & 18th with three laps remaining.
  6. Some aggressive defense by Chuck on Lando for third with under 10 to go.
  7. The confusion has made for a pretty decent race today.
  8. I haven’t been able to watch as closely as I normally do it just looks like a bunch of shit luck for people today.
  9. The field is really bunched together That’s a tough one with such a great start. Hard to excuse though with the extra help they give them with the painted markers.
  10. Norris perhaps with a false start penalty
  11. Great start for the front, especially Norris. Gained three spots.
  12. Couple of minutes to go. Formation lap about to start
  13. I’ve said it before that my German cousins still give a ton of credit for what Mercedes became to Schumacher from when he came back for those few seasons. I think Schumacher was amazing in his ability to help build a team and get everyone to accept nothing but the pursuit of perfection.
  14. I think success is not always the same as greatness. Just a couple examples; nobody will say that Robert Horry is a greater player than Jordan or LeBron but, he won seven NBA titles. Was he awesome? Yes but, in 16 seasons I think he scored way fewer than 10,000 points, in over 1,000 games. Nobody, especially on this website, would say Franco Harris was a better running back than Earl Campbell but, Franco won four Super bowls. I think Earl was a better running back who didn’t have the same level of success. Flip the two and Earl’s success as a Steeler would have been epic. I just think that the Mercedes was so far ahead of the rest of the field during that stretch of Hamilton/Mercedes domination. When that car can go from the back of the field with very little difficulty in a few laps it’s just so much better. On the pre-race show they just did a short segment on Hamilton and his Ferrari struggles. Martin worked very hard at the end to try and say that age is not a problem for Hamilton, which he is no more qualified to say that than I am to say I think it is an issue. What do we say Antonelli finishes the season higher in the points than does Hamilton?
  15. Fine. Is not the same as winning seven championships and 100+ races.
  16. I’m not a fan of Hamilton’s, I’m not against him I’m just not for him. I’ve said many times that I’m a Schumacher fan, Michael, not Ralf. I admire how dominant Hamilton was with a car that was so far ahead of the field. He won the races but, his fall to average has been quite stark. He has six pole positions since, and including the 2021 season. Five of those came in 2021. That’s six in the last 95 races. He won eight races in 2021. He won two in 2024, none in 2022, 2023 and so far none in 2025. That’s two wins in his last 72 races and wasn’t one of those last year a gift? I just think his time has past.
  17. I don’t think Hamilton did anything wrong. I just think it is Father Time. He’s where he has been all season, and last. He doesn’t have the best car and he didn’t the last few years at Mercedes. I think age. He’s 40-years old.
  18. Piastri on pole. Russell 2nd. LeClerc 3, Antonelli 4 Gasly 5, Norris 6 Max 7, Sainz 8 Hamilton 9, Yuki 10 I like Gasly
  19. This last minute of Q3 is amazing
  20. Then the question is, ‘do they let them race?’.
  21. 9th & 10th for RedBull in Q2.. McLaren 1st &2nd. Gasly 3rd, Mercedes 4th & 5th. Ferrari 6th & 8th.
  22. Back to 🟩
  23. On the video Martin said it was on an up shift, and I think with the right tires on painted surface, not the track surface, he was doomed.
  24. Oh my, big crash by a HAAS, Ocon. Right at the start of Q2. Big hit to the rear of the car. Looked like his right wheels got off the track and then it sent him across the track and into the wall.
  25. The wind is really blowing
