    Congratulations Nico!

    that was Oscar’s victory, unfortunate penalty but it happens. I think he will still end up as champion.

    SPOILER: Hulk on the podium. One of the more exciting results in many years.

    Disappointed for Oscar. The one that got away. He’ll learn from that! What a race though, a bit of everything for everyone. Awesome for the Hulk.

    Nico has one of those haircuts where it looks good after doing a complete race ... I would look like a sewer person.   I don't understand how this is possible.  He might be a Lego.

    He's had the best hair on the grid his entire career.

    What happens with that car when they stick an Audi PU in it next year. My guess is that they will be even faster. 
    Will they be faster than Cadillac? Enquiring minds want to know. As far as hair goes, Bottas gets my vote with that mullet.

    A move I do not quite understand. Must be about money.

    I was reading that ownership shifted last month so that the Thai owners aren't the majority shareholders anymore, they're the ones that protected Horner during the "scandals", so could have something to do with the group that wanted him gone finally had the power to do so.
    But certainly doesn't look good for the team.

    Does not scream "smart move" to me.

    Who knows what is true. I read that it was to appease Max and his father and to try to get him not to jump ship to Merc. Could be somewhat true or total BS.

    You are right about that. We will never know the true details. How do you dismiss one of the top F1 principals in the middle of the season? I am scratching my head. Merc will not pay what Ferrari paid for Lewis. Must be Flavio.

    It would be nice if they just cleaned house and got rid of Marko while they're at it.

    I think that guy is in his 80s. What could he be adding? Maybe finances or sponsors? Horner made that team what it is in terms of performance. His numbers are on, or even exceeding, the level of Ron Dennis. There must be more to the story. I do not buy the Verstappen conspiracy theories. Something else led to his firing IMHO. Without actually knowing anything. It is F1, and it usually comes down to money. Flavio to be named new Red Bull Principal.

    Could well be.  I am not sure what Marko brings to the table besides his mouth.

    Not a ton of action today, but I liked the result.
    Hamilton’s driver of the day was well deserved, made the right choices at the right times.
