That was kinda boring. I guess more DRS IS better.

I thought most of the race was fine with the different tire strategies, but it did peter out in the end once everyone was set.

I'm biased because I love Suzuka but I thought this was the best race of the season.

F1 would be much better if Pirelli could bring three usable compounds to every race.

Max 13 seconds ahead 10 laps after taking the lead.

Very fun 3-7 place racing though. Fun track

Next lap was Sainz pushing Charles off the track before getting overtaken. Very fun sprint

He'll probably lap everyone bar Checo in the main race.

The well-timed safety cars changed the race and made the midfield battle more interesting than it would have been otherwise. Alonso dropped some points by Aston's aggressive switch to softs but it made the ending fun to watch.

Zhou with the biggest celebration of a 14th place finish ever.

Pirelli just need to make inconsistent tires. Having different/offset strategies is always nice. Some of those outside the racing line overtakes were great.

This is why I struggle to see why F1 is so popular. It's boring, but I watch to bond with my daughter. She loves it.

Well my comment was about the sprint, and that was great sprint imo.


The race overall was good I thought, again because of the midfield overtaking and tire strats.

Ferrari are going to run a one-off blue livery in Miami - unless Newey tells them differently.

Newey negotiating with Red Bull to be able to sign with a new team as early as next season - ahead of the 2026 rule changes. I think Ferrari are still the favorites.

I hope they make him sit out the length of his contract and IndyCar hires him to design the next generation car while he has "down time"....it's a dream, but let me dream.
