Sad but true...

 

I give it like 10 laps before Verstappen takes the lead

 

Piastri nooooo!!!!

 

Alonso takes first place on turn 1, but incorrect starting position and a 5s penalty.

 

Both McLaren pit before DRS even opens. Fuck everything.

 

My old boss contacted me through my dad (who works there and is how I got in there) because it seems they lost some people over the break. Wouldn’t be tempting but they’re doing well and I know what their bonuses are lol

 

Which company?

 

Porsche will not join Formula 1 grid in 2026 - The Race

 

And then the jack penalty... thanks goodness calmer heads prevailed...

 

Kimi Räikkönen and Jenson Button are both running the NASCAR Cup Series race at COTA this weekend. Kimi will be in the Trackhouse Project 91 car and Button will be in a Rick Ware Racing car prepared by Stewart-Haas Racing. Both competitive rides.

Almost forgot, IMSA driver Jordan Taylor will be driving the #9 Hendrick Motorsports car subbing for the injured Chase Elliott.

 

How F1 Drivers Fared: Jenson Button Calls First NASCAR Cup Race an 'Emotional Roller Coaster'

 

Great opening MotoGP round at Portimao (awesome track btw)

 

Good share! thanks!

 

You're welcome!

It's been a while since I watched a Nascar race, and what still grinds my gear about Nascar is how insanely long their cautions are; like, on the very first lap one car spins out, and they then proceed to have a nearly 20 minute caution period. Like, WTF?

 

agreed.

 

I think majority of us NASCAR fans feel the exact same way. I'll never understand why they are so afraid of local cautions. Outside of that, it was a pretty good race up until the very end.

 

Really wanted to see how it would’ve played out at the end with fuel, but alas. Best driver won the day at least, despite the best efforts of the field to wreck each other.

Max complaining about being pushed there was pretty rich.

 

Oh Alex.

 

Max being Max this race again

 

Disaster for Aston Martin

And Ocon and Gasly took each other out


What a garbage ending

We'll see if they even count this lap and revert to the grid lineup before the restart

 

God F1 is miserable this year

 

I had to leave to run a half marathon, so have absolutely no idea what happened past 90 minutes. I got up early to watch the bloody thing and it was kind of a mess the first hour.

 

Was demoralising how quickly Max powered off into the distance once they had the hard tyres on. They might not be totally out of reach in quali, but the race pace is staggering.
