Max is on the participation list to race at the Nurburgring this Saturday, He'll be racing in a Ferrari 296 GT3 now that he has his licence. Definitely tuning in to watch this one.

They said last weekend they were showing it on Sky F1.
Drugovich is confirmed at Andretti Formula E which I think is probably the end of his F1 dream. Pity, I thought he'd done enough to worth a shot.
Hamilton is going to miss the Pirelli tyre test in Mugello on Friday due to a health scare for Ruscoe but in a nice story from the same event, Grosjean will finally get his swansong drive of an F1 car although back in a Haas rather than the drive in a Mercedes that Toto promised.
Max dragging a Ferrari onto the podium.
I wonder how they measure how equal different manufacturers are in a given category. Commentators mentioned the Ford was better in a straight line but I guess the Ferrari is the better all rounder.
They do Balance of Performance to make them "equal". I'm not sure exactly what they use to that in this series, but it's usually things like ballast, limits on engine power, and sometimes fiddling with aerodynamics.

I can see Max having a go at Indy Cars if F1 starts to bore him.
Pretty sure I read somewhere he had no interesting in IndyCar beyond watching it
EDIT: Here's the tweet (or whateveer they're called these days)

I do suspect he will fancy a crack at the Le Mans 24 hour at some point.

His been bored ever since lewis decided to semi retire and just make do.
Max probably would love if Lewis was back at the top so he can fight again. Norris and Piastri are average drivers that are nowhere near the level of hamilton and max.
It actually would not shock me if max wins the f1 title this season
Lewis isn't as good as he used to be, age has caught up with him just like it did with Alonso. He got beaten twice in three seasons by Russell and looks like Charles gonna beat him him this season.

I’ve found the solution for thinking F1 is dull and stupid these days.
Watch 10 minutes of NASCAR.

*2 minutes of NASCAR between 8 minutes of adverts, all while the commentators name drop sponsors. "Lets see that again in the AUTO PART STORE replay cam, while the team refill the car with OIL CONGLOMERATE racing fuel!"

The NASCAR road races slap to be fair, the sports also responsible for the coolest end to a race ever

You’re watching it wrong. Premiersports show the whole race with no ad breaks. When the Americans go to ads we get normal trackside coverage with no commentary.
Was a great race last night too, Toyota are going to be wondering how the hell they lost it.

I still say that was a dirty move and shouldn't have counted.
