    I do admit that seeing Norris completely don him gives me pleasure.

    Nurburgring weather update: Fogged to fuck. Race halted.

    Formation lap and restart scheduled at 11am. Still foggy. 11 hours after the red flag dropped.

    Absolutely. Red Bull calling for the red flag even though the race finishing under the SC would've guaranteed Checo the win. Vettel's winning this.

    They were probably hoping for no restart so Verstappen would win.

    Ah, to wind it back a lap. Probably not a good idea when the FIA can use this as an advert for SPRINT RACES!

    Suspect Hamilton leaving his special brake warming device on has saved the title race there.

    Pirelli need to do one with their purposefully degradable tyres.

    A tyre that simultaneously requires a one stop strategy (with cars pitting in the first 10 laps), and then blows up, is the absolute pits, if you'll pardon the pun.

    Great race.

    Seen some people online blaming the teams rather than Pirelli for the blowouts. I swear I heard Crofty say that the hards were rated for at least 35-40 laps. Lance and Max were both under that number when they failed.

    I absolutely love Gasly and Alpha Tauri by the way. I think it’s because he got absolutely shafted at Red Bull but the guy is so loveable. Brazil drag racing Hamilton to the line and winning in Monza last year were amazing viewing. Great to see Seb put in back to back great drives as well.

    The only downer (aside from the obvious) was Leclerc not quite having the pace to stay out front that long. Ferrari are improving though and the sport really needs them.

    Gasly's re-pass on Leclerc to get the podium was top bombing.

    Teds Notebook is an incredible thing. It's just a guy talking to himself, completely unscripted but its informative, educational and funny. You could not watch the race and be able to picture the entire thing in your head just listening to it.

    Also not that I have any right to criticise Hamilton when it comes to driving a formula 1 car but did he not notice that his brakes appeared to be creating the sort of plumes you’d see at a vape shop before the start?

    Toto suggested it was when Perez came over to try to squeeze him, Hamilton was adjusting his balance and this caused him to knock it with his finger.

    I don’t think that was his problem, unless I’m mistaken. Hamilton accidentally selected the ‘magic’ strat which completely changes the brake bias, hence the lock up.

    I figured the brake button was already on which is what was making them look on fire.

    I thought he'd overcooked them on the way round. I've seen some cars sit like that after formation laps but never to that degree.



    I was hoping ADAC would put together a better package than this. The first couple of hours were ridiculous with everyone navigating the standing water. Shame the fog rolled in but it did make for a decent 3 hour dash towards the end. Augusto Farfus being biffed genuinely got a "Fucking hell!" out of me (they don't show the actual crash in the video) and I enjoyed the Hyundai iQ or whatever that had a hood held together by gaffa tape.

    Looking forward to the Spa 24 next month, now. Assuming they're able to pump the flood waters out of Eau Rouge. Le Mans is in late August so maybe weather will mess with that as well.

    Lol at Sir Lewis having the title on a plate and pressing the crash button by mistake, especially after the 'marathon not a sprint' message.

    Perez completely bottled the restart, which probably in turn made Hamilton shit himself when he found himself ahead (who knew they changed brake bias settings during the arrival into T1).

    Also not to be a circuit design nerd again, but the start finish line really needs to be a lot further back, it seems absurd that they have a drag strip the length of the Caspian Sea and then about ten feet between the line and the braking zone.

    I suspect the line is where it is to prevent first corner shenanigans, give them more of a run and there'll be twice as many divebombs and restarts.

    Man, Marquez got a third successive DNF yesterday. I think we're seeing the end of him. Quartararo would be out of sight if he could convert his poles to wins.

    Bottas fucked over yet again. Firstly they didn't listen to the driver, who knows best, when he told them they needed to switch to 2 stop. They not bringing him in for a run at a fastest lap is mind boggling.

    The latter makes me think they already see him as out of the title race so no bother.

    I strongly suspect the Mercs being human this year has a lot to do with them putting eggs in the 2022 basket, but it's tough to see how they stop Red Bull from here.

    Whether he gets fucked over or not, he's just useless as soon as any sort of pressure is on. Verstappen up behind him, instant mistake.

    Hamilton probably got the bigger team fucking with their bizarre first stop strategy.

    Err, sorry Lewis, not sure what happened there . . .

    There's a real changing of the guard happening. I can't imagine Merc are throwing this in favour of next year. They are definitely trying to STRATEGY their way around Red Bull but it's just not going to happen. Not unless the Honda engines belch themselves to death.

    In other news, Marquez won at Sachsenring. 90 points adrift, 11 rounds to go.

    Is anyone else getting tired of Paul Di Resta? The guy has zero personality and adds fuck all in everything he says. The worst part is that he never gets rotated while we only get the excellent Anthony Davidson every other race.

    I think he has plenty to add but he has the delivery of a charmless goblin and if you took a drink every time he rags on Hamilton you'd be in trouble on Sunday evening.

    Rosberg, for all his faults is the best driver pundit they've had (Brundle excepted).

    Davidson is limited because he still works with Mercedes, right? I remember them talking something about the workings of the car and tried to ask him but he wouldn't say.

    Brundle will always be the top commentator because he has the right voice. But the key thing is he raced against all of the guys you grew up watching/adoring.

    Di Resta is a bit shitter because his personality is that he's Scottish.

    I’ve been surprised by the reaction to Bottas’ pitlane spin. Brundle just said it wasn’t reckless. How was it not? He’s lost control of the car where there are numerous mechanics and pitlane staff standing around. It sure as hell would have been considered reckless if he’d hit someone. It’s a shocking and careless piece of driving, for me.

    Both do the same job so I think one or the other, but the younger one is very good when he's on F2/3.

    Martin Brundle is just great, achieving the impossible by simultaneously sounding like a serious expert with 40 years' experience in the sport, and also like your dad's mate who did a bit of club racing once and drinks dark ale at the weekend.

    This 'song' being sung on the grid by a bloke in lederhosen is the worst thing ever to happen in the continent of Europe.
