What a race indeed !!!!!

I'm very sad for Charles and Lando, but what a great day for midfielders !

That passes from Max and Charles were spectacular.

For a race with no overtaking it was still pretty good. Threat of rain and safety cars spiced it up.

Congrats to Oscar who didn't put a foot wrong. That's a gut punch for Lando.

Over the past couple of months it looked like it was Bortoleto who was gaining the upper hand in the rookie of the year battle. But Hadjar said watch this. What a result.

Ferrari with a double DNF and their nightmare season continues.

In fantasy I lost a little ground to rollnloop, but it was looking far worse half-way through the race. The safety cars though allowed both Aston Martins to finish in the points and in the end it wasn't too bad.

Monza !

I hope Fez can have a good race and forget Zandvoort.

Fez didn't do bad, but Max !

I was surprised by his pole position, and even more by his dominance on the race.

20 seconds ahead of 2nd place ????????

Fantasy wise, Alonso's DNF cost me dearly twice, since I had Aston as constructor as well.

I feel DBond's breath over my neck !

Hey sorry I haven't been around much. My son has been in and out of the hospital over the past month and we lost his mother in January so I'm a single dad and have been there with him. I did manage to get fantasy set up on my phone and made a useful change to Williams from Aston Martin which paid off.

Congrats to max who was flawless and I didn't expect the Red Bull to drive away from the McLarens but that's what he did. That could bode well for Baku too if they can run a low downforce configuration there.

So sorry for you loss, mate. Words are just inadequate in such times. Hoping for brighter days ahead.

I'm so sorry to read this DBond, condolences for your loss and speedy recovery to your son.

Condolences for your loss DBond.

Hope your son is doing well and will have a speady recovery.

Thank you gentlemen. We are finally free of the hospital and home. It's been an ordeal, but that's how life goes. I appreciate the good wishes.

That` s very good news DBond.

Happy to read this.

Enjoy this week, and hopefully next race.

Thanks gentlemen. Back to work, my son is back to school, so hoping for smoother waters ahead.

Baku!!

That's good.

Now Baku, let's see what it brings.

This is a surprising year, so I expect the unexpected

Well, I expected the result, just not hard enough.

Piastri costs me in fantasy, fortunately it's the same for my closest rival.

Max's comeback is crazy, could there be a 3 men championship contest in the end ?

Carlos got a williams podium before Lewis got one in his Fez, let that sink in....

I had Sainz in the team for weeks and he was sh!t. I drop him and he runs to the podium. I've talked about it before but I feel like the ship captain chasing splashes but the next round is a hit anyway.

It's fun to see Max getting back in to it a bit, and it is making McLaren sweat. But I think the gap is too big. If McLaren blow this it will be a massive choke.

Singapore new layout, will it bring overtakes ?

I'd bet the answer is no

But this race can have attrition, remember George just driving straight in to the wall last year or the year before. It's rarely a good race here, but the setting is fantastic and it is F1, so it's still a spectacle.

I have to hand it to Mekies. When Horner left I worried about the team, but under Mekies, they have had a resurgence. Max has never won here, but suddenly the Red Bull looks good on this high-heat, high-downforce, bumpy track, which they couldn't handle previously Now the Red Bull looks good on high speed tracks and low speed tracks. Pretty remarkable. I don't know, of course, how much of this is down to Mekies, but it happened after he arrived and if he is going to get the stick when things don't go well, he should get praise when it does.

Good luck, we are in the home stretch now

Yeah Mekies seems to have appeased things right now, and a new confidence is coming.

Tsunoda still lags behind, but less far maybe ?

George had a great quali, there might be sparks on the first lap !

Grats on playing Max, I had thought about doing it but chose stability on this front, since I moved on others.

Same to you for Aston

Had a hunch Max would outscore Piastri this week, so I took a punt. Otherwise my team was poor. But the big points are won on Sunday, and the farther back your drivers, the more potential to score big points. Not looking so good now, but we will see at the checkered flag
