When I was a kid drawing cars, the fire in the back made them go faster for sure.

They should have done it earlier in the stint. Norris has opened a nice gap.

So, Alonso not liking that open Merc seat?
And Sainz - only non-Red Bull driver to win since 2022 - and he is looking for a ride in 2025.

I also wonder when big changes happen to Mercedes behind the scenes at Brackley. They are arguable the 3rd best Mercedes-powered team on the grid right now (albeit they are neck and neck with Aston Martin).

On my rewatch it seems that Checo's downforce setting really made a huge difference on his speed. Maybe they should consider not setting it so conservatively. He was trash after that last pit stop adjustment. I know he's the tyre whisperer and all, but he should be better than fifth place and way back.

I saw something this morning about Checo damaging the underside going over some curbs - but I don't know the timing of that damage.

The latest report is one of Alonso's tear-offs got caught in Perez' undertray which messed with his aero. This makes sense because his pace dropped right around the time he passed Fred.

Max's consecutive race finished streak ends at 43 in a row (2022 Imola to 2024 Jeddah), 5 races short of Hamilton's record 48 (from the 2018 Silverstone to 2020 Bahrain).
Hamilton did not finish the 2018 Austrian Grand Prix, and he had had a streak of 33 consecutive finishes up to that point (2016 Japanese GP to 2018 French GP). Started his 48 finish streak the next week at Silverstone. If he had finished at the Red Bull Ring, he would have had a streak of 82 straight finishes.

The broadcast talked about the tear offs being a nuisance the way they can just toss them out of the car. Had hazy recollections that they possibly used to have a bin for them in the car (but weren't sure if that memory was accurate).
They are the hot dog wrappers of F1 for sure.
Anyway was a more enjoyable uncontested race than the usual uncontested race.

Kiwi driver Liam Lawson on verge of fulltime F1 seat
The Herald understands pressure is mounting on incumbent Daniel Ricciardo.
Reports that Ricciardo has been given an ultimatum to improve over the next two races - or he is out of a seat, with Liam Lawson to take over next to Yuki Tsunoda.
New Zealand’s Liam Lawson could be in a fulltime Formula One seat as early as May, after Red Bull issued a warning to Daniel Ricciardo, who drives for their subsidiary team Racing Bulls.
The Herald understands Ricciardo has been given an ultimatum by Red Bull’s head of driver development, Dr Helmut Marko, a known admirer of Lawson’s.
Should Ricciardo fail to improve over the next two Grand Prix in Japan and China respectively, Red Bull will perform a swap that sees Lawson likely installed in the Racing Bulls seat for Miami and remain with the team for the rest of the season.
Source is a New Zealand paper, so a little salt needed. But. intuitively, this makes sense following reports that Marko had gone public with his pressure on both Tsunoda and Ricciardo - and praised Tsunoda's effort.

No surprise that FA used them in a Mario Cart way to slow down Checo. In all seriousness, I think it's time to reinstate the mandatory bins in the cars rule. Just in case Riccardo decides to bring along a corn dog or something in the future. No veggimite sandwiches for anyone!

I stayed up to watch qualifying. 
The good news is now I won't have to stay up to watch the race.

Our long international nightmare is finally over, hallelujah!Is anyone else sick of seeing Max not win a race? Feels like it's been forever since he's been atop the podium.
F1 better get their shiz together.

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.
