A couple fun races. Forget about sprinklers and DRS, let's just make tyres that randomly blister and explode. I sure hope George Russell gets a good ride soon.
Not likely with another year already announced with Williams. He's done so much in qualifying with that car but it's not really a performer when it comes to race day.

Didn't want to start a new thread... maybe we need a general racing thread. Will be cool to see Hy-Vee in the 500 this year:

What is wrong with Haas. These last few years have been so disappointing.
Inferior car, running Ferrari power which has struggled for those teams this year, and frankly Romain really doesn't look like he should be on the grid anymore.

If the rumors are true, an addition of Sergio or Nico would be huge but they still have a lot to do to get the car back into the mid-tier pace.

I almost fell asleep. NASCAR on the Daytona road course later today, that could be wild. Indy 500 next Sunday.

Barcelona really isn't a great track for racing and when you have such a dominant car for the top 2 teams, it's just tough for the rest of the field.

Two stories here are really: 1. Ferrari looks more and more likely to get fifth in the constructors' even after the points vacated at RP.

And 2. Albon really isn't helping Max out too much so his teammate is left in the Mercedes mix on his own quite a bit. Not saying Gasly would be any better right now, but Pierre is having a pretty dang good season with Alpha Tauri so far..

Next race at Spa, might not be a great race, but at least it's a great track, right up there with Road America. As David Hobbs used to say, it's a track where you feel like you're going somewhere.

Sneaking a Indy 500 post in here. Seems weird to see absolutely no fans at the race.

Yellow flag finish Boo that. I was hoping Dixon would get a chance to pass.

Surprised there’s been no discussion about Claire Williams' resignation and today being the last day with a Williams family member at principal.
