Bernie doing well for 94 but was seeming a little bit Joe Biden there!

At least he didn't try to give a BJ to the microphone like certain other presidential candidates...

Finally managed to watch the quali. Avoiding spoilers for F1 is a nightmare lol. Should be a pretty interesting race!

It really needs a DNF from Max. If he finishes 8th to 10th, he'll still be 40 odd points in front. It's all just a little bit too late from McLaren. They've left a significant amount of points on the table for Norris. My last calculation a number of races ago was 20 odd points they've fumbled for him

Does that include the number of points he himself has fumbled?

 

[el_dazza]

Emmo!

Saw him at Goodwood this year!

 

[Flibster]

Anthem time.

Meh... Better with the full military band tbh.

Cool trophy though. Like the laurel wreaths of old.

 

[Trusty]

Massa looking on with excitement

 

[booyaka]

Some carnage ahead I suspect....

No

 

[Mesai]

No

Probably means he should be leading the championship already.

McLaren has only become a competitive car in the 2nd half of the season. It would just be a lot closer than it is, he'd still be behind though

Would like to see Yuki and Liam get a good race result here.

Which they've mostly squandered.

Yeah obvs, they've left a lot of points on the table. Not being ruthless enough, not being sharp enough because its new for the team. And a bunch of inexperience being at the front from Norris and Piastri

Tbh, I think Piastri has more of a champion mindset than Lando (and McLaren), but Lando has been quicker for the most part.

I think Piastri is the better racer as well, he's potentially a multi world champion

I reluctantly agree with you.

 

[Mr Jack]

Does Albon's grid slot get left empty, or does everyone behind move up?

 

[Psycho Ned]

This is gonna be good!
