    Hopefully means no more titles until 2030.

    Also means Russell is probably safe for a while

    Was never any open moves for Max , Lewis probably has another 2 seasons in the tank and then it's Bearman time, McLaren have no reason to disrupt the Norris/Piastri lineup and Toto just loves to play games in the media .

    The problem for any driver changing teams is deciding which team will be top in the next five years or so. Red Bull are a big team and have a chance of being so. They may not of course but Max is also clear number one in that team.

    Amateurish from Verstappen to dip a wheel on the painted line in those conditions

    Oh dear never mind.
    Bit of a miracle it wasn’t an almighty multi car crash given the way he criss crossed the track.

    Couple of crazy replays from the other drivers, especially from Hulkenberg not to T-Bone Bortoleto
    Glad everyone is okay, as that could have been nasty

    Now we know Max is fine and ok…. We can have a little giggle.

    Not been the worst sporting weekend has it?!

    So at the restart is antonelli in 2nd? Its dry here in Zandvoort now, no more rain forecast for the race, that was it for the day just before the race. Processional but for tyres from here probably

    Bit shameful from Mercedes to swap Antonelli and Russell, can understand the latter being upset with that
    No way was Kimi catching Lando... and they basically hung George out to dry with the Ferrari's

    Lot more going on than I expected, the various different tyre strategies made a difference and shows what can be achieved when a 1 stop strategy isnt possible on the tyre selections provided.

    bit confused the Hard tyre didn't seem to last any longer than the soft or medium, so whats the point?

    Istanbul Park and Portimao are coming back to the Calendar next year, we're also losing Barcelona, which will apparently go on rotation with Spa

    Could be worth watching the Hamilton Leclerc relationship from here on in. Leclerc cost Hamilton thitd place, possibly second yesterday racing him.blocking him when there was no need to. Also Leclerc placed himself from the start to cut in in front of Hamilton. Nothing wrong with it but you expect to treat your teammate differently as both cars could have gone out. I think it is a good time for Vasseur to have a meeting with both drivers letting them know what is acceptable.

    Leclerc is not a team player. Looks like he feels under threat from Lewis to me.
