[Flashback]

In unrelated news, went to the opera last week to see Carmen, at which point I realised where the podium champagne popping music came from.......

The Sky British cheersquad absolutely perplexed as to the booing of wee Lando.
Maybe its because they want Checo? lol
I dont think the Monza booing was for wanting Checo either

My only consolation from this morning is that Max is still in the hunt, which I genuinely believe is good for Oscar. Max is so rent-free in Lando's head whenever they race, while Oscar has proven that he can go wheel-to-wheel with Max and succeed on a number of occasions.

One big result in the next 4 races are all its going to take.

Also, a grid penalty could be a possibility for at least one of the top 3 from exceeding their component limits - they've got to be close, and with the inability to pass on track a 5 place penalty could be deadly.

Ever since I saw Olly Bearman substituting in 2024 in Saudi Arabia in a Ferrari and Azerbaijan in a Haas, he has looked like something a bit special, this race is confirming why so many people in the F1 paddock were saying good things about him then.

Glad I didn't watch the full race, as it looks like it was all building up to a good race when the VSC ruined it. Seems to be a few races like this in 2025 where the race ends just as things are getting interesting.

What you don't know however is who has parts that have failed / been damaged in incidents, and might possibly have run over target hours on other parts.

The crowd dont like it when team orders control drivers and interfere.
Goes way back to the Schumacher Barrichelo days or earlier.
We suspected for a long time but now they dont even hide it anymore.
McLaren and its papaya rules have just made it a farce.
They will make NOR the favourite (so no change...lol) now as he is in front.

A couple of years ago NOR dissed Checo as not as good as VER (who is) as well.

Policeman George sparking up and bossing everyone around again.
Then ends up with egg on his face and has to give the swap back.

SKY most upset at HAM penalty when we all could see he gained a few seconds.


Glad the Gold Coast V8's were interesting as least.
