    It’s increasingly becoming clear that time / motivation (or lack of) is now taking its toll with Lewis. He’s an undisputed all time great of the sport but I think now’s the time to call it a day.

    Horrendous weekend for Ferrari but that was a rookie move from Kimi

    Delighted for Ollie Bearman though, thats basically P6 for him today. Great performance from him, starting from the pits, and being so unlucky finishing P11 pretty much every week

    He really deserves that given his season, really pleased for him after he's proven that his petulant side in F2, wasn't his true personality.

    Feel sorry that he'll have to go to Red Bull next year

    Just read that Lewis has a 5-place grid penalty at Monza for failing to slow under double-waved yellow flags.
    Hope it's wrong.

    Sort of agree with the sentiment, but he's still currently running 6th.

    I thought Lewis was on a par with Leclerc for much of the weekend which is a positive for him of sorts. The track is a terrible one for F1. The cars are too big for it and it is too hard to overtake. Glad it is going.
  • Colton Herta to Prema in F2 next year is the latest rumour surrounding him.

    He really is desperate to f**k up his career, given how Prema have shit the bed in recent years

    Would that open up Dennis Hauger to Andretti? 

    Agree about Herta, I don't really get the hype about him and if he didn't walk F2 he would tank his career

    Only thing I guess, is that he's already signed the Contract with Cadillac for 2027, and is going to F2, purely to get the points (Well thats obvious FA), reading he only needs about 8th without FP1 sessions as well to get that. So they won't care about how badly he does, provided he gets the points to put an American in an American team.

    Although if thats the case, he might as well copy Lindblad and go over to FROC in the winter, just to make his life even easier as a result.

    Anyone know the outcome of Leclerc and Russell's investigation after the race? Didn't see anything on it.

    No further action... Deemed a racing incident.

    Yeah looks like it will be FPs and potentially F2 with Prema to get him up to speed. Makes me wonder if Perez and Bottas only signed 1+1 option year deals

    After my first wife passed away I was looking for something to do that didn’t involve alcohol or nights spent sprawled in front of the TV, so I started to do some Lego. I found it very therapeutic and relaxing.

    I built these three over a period of about 3 years:
