I think this new layout has worked overall. Passing has been much more abundant, and not just because we had some cars out of position.

What are your thoughts on the race?

I’d like to see a good replay of George’s start!

    Great to see F1 discussions taking off on Lemmy!

    Happy for Mercs, they seem to be improving. Hope they can fight for wins soon, but more importantly, we need an Alonso win.

    And for some reason, Redbull dominance feels more boring than Merc dominance, but that could be recency bias.

    Good to see Merc back in the fight! Everyone has a long way to go to catch Redbull, but still makes it more interesting.

    The Yuki penalty was bs. Zhou tried to push, and didn’t have enough to make it through, but it was clean racing until the appeal to the stewards. Really poor call there.

    I really appreciate the team game that Alonso is playing. I really feel like he is trying to make stroll a better and more relaxed driver. He’s like the supportive uncle.

      Alonso knows they aren’t winning the championship, so he’s playing the nice guy. If he thought at title was on, even the slimmest chance, I suspect we see the selfish monster come out that all F1 drivers have.

      I just hope we get to see it!
