    I’m saying nothing. All my opinions are prejudiced anyway. 😂
  • What’s the point in having rules like this if the cheating fucks aren’t punished?

    Dont worry, based on the FIA's actions @ Singapore, they'll probably wait until the end of this season before deciding how many points to dock Red Bull and its drivers for this year.

    Verstappen will no doubt be docked 7-pts for last year
  • Which means that Nyck de Vries is surely done to AlphaTauri as well

    Just the Haas and Williams seats left now

    Yeah and I don't think Mick binning it this morning in practice will have helped with Haas. Get a suspicion that's going to be Giovinazzi and Williams will announce Sargeant after Abu Dhabi

    Shame for Mick, as by the sounds of things he was improving his chances of keeping his Haas seat - Wonder if Magnussen has cost Haas more money in recent races by getting into pointless fights and wrecking his front wing though.

    Of course that doesnt seem to bother Steiner.

    Steiner doesn't seem to have any interest in keeping Mick around next season. It's almost anyone but Mick it seems.

    It's down to Schumacher or Hulkenberg apparently.

    Could see Schumi Jr taking up the reserve role at Ferrari, or even taking the second Williams seat if Sargent can't get the super licence

    Hulkenberg can surely only be an option because of the previous "drama" between him and Magnussen!! - I know there haven't been a multitude of young drivers impressing in F2, but is Hulkenberg seriously a better option than Schumacher now?

  • Both de Vries (AlphaTauri) and Gasly (Alpine) have been unsurprisingly confirmed as driving for the respective teams in 2023 now

    Verstappen gets a reprimand for his incident with Norris during Qualifying.

    Might have been the out lap (nothing in the rules that differentiates between out lap / hot lap) - But like Singapore last week between those two, would have been a nasty incident had they made contact.

    Edit: Stewards have said though they've based it on similar incidents in the past which have all resulted in reprimand, so cant argue with that.

    Well, the Japanese Grand Prix is turning into a damp squib. It comes to something when the most exciting incident on track involves a tractor.

    I blame Verstappen, Horner and Red Bull. 🤪
  • Another ridiculous incident from the FIA

    Sending a tractor on to the track before the cars were completely out of the way - Gasly shouldnt have been going as quickly as he was, but cmon, this venue is always going to be remembered for Jules Bianchi, and they've learnt nothing!!

    It's a shame Martin Brundle isn't there this week , found Di Restas comments completely out of order. Only JB talking any sense

    Really glad I had an early night to wake for this 🙄

    Cant lie, I'm not disappointed that Red Bull's hopes of winning the title in the Honda heartland - It is making me smile a little, okay maybe more than that :D
  • Okay, so there was a Marshall on the track with the tractor

    Looks like we might get something but half points at most if we get 16 racing laps
  • Shame we didnt get more of a race... That was fun

    Great to see Latifi getting some points, just Hulkenberg on zero now in the WDC

  • Leclerc gets a 5-second penalty for cutting the chicane at the end.

    Amazing that the Stewards CAN make a decision so quickly

    And that moment confirms that Verstappen is the World Champion.

    Edit: Nope - Can we really trust anyone to be in charge of this Sport?

    Johnny Herbert is an idiot, no idea how he’s still in the job. So embarrassing.

    Wtf is going on. Why are they awarding full points when we only had a 30 min race?

    Absolutely no idea - They're genuinely making it up as they go along... One of these days poor Max will win a Championship in straightforward fashion

    He's an awful pundit , don't like Di Resta either. Would rather have JB and Damon Hill every race
