Grojean nearly choked again. I really hope he can either figure things out or find a new career in RallyCross or something.

F1 moved on and Williams wasn't able to adapt. It's depressing to watch. I feel really bad for the Williams camp right now

When I started watching in 1994 they were the ones with the best cars in the field....sad indeed how things have changed.

I'd say they where better in 1992 with the active suspension:


The car was just glued onto the track, still I'd say it was amazing what Senna could do in a Mclaren-Honda which was was not good that year:


F1 today gets boring because Mercedez is just dominating with the better car, FIA wanting engines that have become a joke, dumb tyre rules and stupid artificial overtake nonesense called DRS. I'm not denying that Hamilton and Bottas are good drivers but put anyone in the Mercedez that doesn't make mistakes on the track and guaranteed he'd win. So it's more car then Driver and statistics over racing.

Heartbreaking to watch LeClerc take P2 like that, but I have to admit, Verstappen got it honest.

Great race IMO

Not sure about honest. He forces LeClerc off the track when he's required to leave space. Still, a way more exciting race than last week and it's good to see Mercedes struggling for once this year.

Well Max gets away with a rule violation and Ferrari gets screwed again.

I'm sure Ayrton Senna would agree.
