Red Bull may also get quite big penalties because they will be forced to change their engines.

Just Perez apparently. Max's engine is fine. However, he drove the whole race without the right front side of body work.

So I'd watched Formula E first time. Why's it not receiving traction? The event seems so much more about driving skill than anything else.

Crazy qualifying at Spa. Russel almost took the pole, would have been spectacular, even with the weather conditions.

Thank God there aren't so many races in Northern Europe. The land of constant fucking rain.

If they can logistically race tomorrow that should be worth considering as said on the broadcast. Although if the forecast is heavy rain tomorrow as well there's probably no point in it.

So they cancelled Suzuka because of the pandemic, but can't postpone a race for 24 hours due to heavy rain and logistics problems with the next race? The race day was disgrace, especially the award ceremony.

Kimi Raikkonen, The Iceman is retiring this season. One of my favorite drivers ever, his presence will be missed.

Sadly it was about time. Kimi was driving out of pure hobby in recent years. Nonetheless what a legend!

I don't know what Red Bull's plan with Gasly is, but if they don't promote him again soon I can see Mercedes picking him up when Hamilton retires. Imagine Gasly winning with Mercedes lol.

Hamilton not breaking the record to win 8th would be fair IMO.

He's insane but I think Michael at his peak was still slightly better. Lewis is smarter/more saavy but Michael was driving aggression personified.

Christian Horner’s pride and ego probably the only thing potentially preventing a return. He’s had an unbelievable season so far.

If he doesn't get it this year I think Mercedes getting Russell as Bottas' replacement will take some points off him next season too.

It's speculated that it's Dr. Helmut Marko who more or less blackballed Gasly from getting promoted again.

The inevitable confirmed today. George Russell at Mercedes, think he’s really gonna be pushing Hamilton next season.
