    Bad move by Lando.
    this is reminding me of the year Nico beat Lewis, although Lando doesn’t have any championships behind him.
    I’m hoping Oscar takes it all this year, but nice to see multiple drivers with a chance to be champ.

    I think Lando thinks he's playing a video game out there.

    Despite better than average practice and qualifying sessions, the race was rather boring. Great drives by the young kid, Kimi and by George. That track seemed to be a good fit for the Mercs. Lewis hits a groundhog and Ferrari messes up Lec's strategy. :s

    You can tell Lando is frustrated by the lack of support from the team. He sees himself as the number one driver, but Oscar might be a better driver. Just a dumb move that cost himself and the team valuable points. I also thought the US network broadcast, including a 90 minute pre-race show, was good, except for Danica's comments. She has no business in Formula One.

    No brainer. Plus they will sell tons of Tsunoda gear in Japan. Smart move even if Yuki struggles.
    That dickhead Marko hates him, if he does as bad as Lawson for two races he'll be out of F1 altogether lol
    Tsunoda lasting longer than I thought but the writing is on the wall.

    Yeah it didn't feel like the drivers were able to do much to change things up on the track, other than Sainz who may have been the only one to pull off a good one stop?
    And Norris was lining things up but maybe a little too lined up.

    It almost seems like they are using him for testing rather than racing.

    Who’d replace him!? Surely they can’t change the No.2 again. On form he deserved the spot but has really struggled since taking over from Lawson.

    Plenty of races left to score points. They most certainly could make another change, but I agree it's slim pickings for a new driver unless they want to promote a junior driver to gain experience. Hadjar should stay at RB IMHO. My vote would be Bottas, but not sure that could ever happen without paying a small fortune to Mercedes.

    I thought Lawson would have been a better driver.  He isn't pulling his weight at Racing Bull either. 

    I can't believe that Stroll still has a seat.
    He does for obvious reasons but he should have been long gone.

    Yeah I thought Lawson showed a bit the other year when he had a little taste. As for Stroll, money talks. Can’t believe that phoney has lasted as long as he has though.

    Lots of reasons to hate Stroll and sometimes he drives like a moron. But he has more points than Alonso.

    Saw it today in Imax. It was ok. Not great IMHO for real fans. I think it was a step down for Javier.

    Should be a great race tonight in Austria. Still think Oscar can get it done from P3. 💪🙏🇦🇺🦘

    I like the track and the setting. Should be an interesting race as there are not many opportunities for passing.

    When there are not many overtaking places it kind kills the race

    True. And the short track means traffic. We shall see it is an interesting starting grid with LEC splitting the McLarens and Lewis not far behind.

    I like that Lando and Oscar are allowed to race each other this year, no team orders. Overall that was a pretty boring race. Hopefully Silverstone is better
