Some very average backmarker driving all race with not many finishing on the lead lap.

PIA gets shafted again....what about Papaya Rules, NOR gearbox should break too,
McLaren were always gonna do something to switch them around

He was the fastest all weekend but.

VER did well in his #$#%^& undriveable car.

It was a good race to watch - well until it wasn't.

I did manage to use my meagre mobile signal to book a hotel in KUL for October.

I find it interesting theres no talks about the status of Baku right now. Surely that race must also be up in the air given where Baku is at.

Haven't seen any issues in Baku.

I mean Hungary also borders Ukraine and there were no questions there.

I guess the danger is that Ukraine just hit Iranian vessels in the Caspian sea and Iran has warned they might retaliate. If they do, missiles may potentially be overflying Azerbaijan towards the black sea.

Whilst not directly impacting Baku, I wonder if that would make things uninsurable.

Oscar Piastri getting a hat-trick this year

I think it's time they have a champion of champions round and bring Seb into the mix.
