Oh yes you can, as long as the guy on the outside doesn't turn right at the wrong time!. :Oops: [Controversial]

A predictable result at the front at least. Such a shame the two red flags in Q2 knackered so many drivers running(including the 2 crashee's!). But a few stand out performances nonetheless.
Let's hope for a much more exciting race than its currently looking like :roll:

Oh and Raikkonen is leaving apparently. Surprised no one noticed ;) :roll:
Also due to a positive covid test, he is out for the weekend and replaced by Kubica.

Well I guess it wasn't as dull as it could have been, but still was. I don't get why the circus insists on going to circuits which are known to be bad for overtaking. This one obviously being too short.
Some stand out performances again though, Perez and Norris did well all things considered. A few drivers I noted also performed considerably better than their team mates though I noticed..

I thought we were on for a blinder with safety cars and red flags. Could have really mixed up the result. Oh well.
Hope Merc are back on it for Monza, 4 wins for Lewis this year 3 DNF's from Max could have taken his tally to 10, it's looking ominous if you're a Lewis fan. I didn't actually mind Max winning yesterday, love the Dutch fans but he was so reserved, left me a bit disappointed.

Now that's what I call getting your your own back after what Hamilton did at Silverstone!

Forgot about that! Yes we missed out there, a red flag in every session except the race :roll: That would certainly have spiced things up, even a little.

Quite. Although verstappen is still young. He's still got a lot to learn. Hard to believe at 23 he's in his 7th season..

Unknown. You mean after Max turned away from Lewis and then turned into him? Watch his in-cockpit video!.

I know it was awful, fancy him getting the inside line and making his opponent go wide, who'd have thought it.

You are certainly not alone, I have stopped watching C4 coverage because of him, I think he is a complete muppet, and can't keep his hands out of his pockets, no standards, sorry about the slight rant, I thought I was the only one also.. :Wow:
I now live stream.

Well, George, contrary to my views has the seat. Good for him. Next season should be very interesting with mega rule changes to the cars. There may be different dominant teams, as well as dominant drivers!. I only watch on Sky, so Martin Brundle et al are all I hear, and very good they are too!!.

+1 on Sky, definitely the best on our screens. Even though they miss far more than they catch in live session commentary :lol:

Just had a thought, for the British driver fans out there, say Mercedes' 2022 car is dominant(not likely IMO), which driver do you support!? Hamilton for his record breaking 8th title, or Russell? Tough one..
