Auto Racing

I'm been a fan since I was a teenager. I definitely think the Netflix show is bringing in a new audience which is great. I love the show and all the petty, petty drama!

Well Red Bull kicked up a huge fuss after the previous HAM vs VER incident claiming that Max had the racing line and should have been given space etc so by that metric he was definitely at fault on Sunday. I figured they knew Max was at fault because Christian Horner wasn't screaming that Hamilton tried to kill his driver. Instead he was trying to brush it off as a racing incident.

I thought announcing,"that's what you get for not leaving space" when you've just landed your car on another's driver's head was pretty unsportsmanlike.

Daniel Riccardo is a pretty happy and easy going guy and I always enjoy seeing different guys get on the podium so it was a well deserved win for him.

It was fun to see McLaren do so well and also to see Bottas pass a zillion people and wind up on the podium.

Well today's race was made even more exciting by the arrival of rain. I really couldn't have predicted how that one would turn out. I was thinking that jumping to change tires may have been a mistake but turns out the mistake was not switching tires! Sucks for Norris to lose out on his first win but he was so lucky not to crash out there at the end.

Poor Lando Norris. The older and wiser knew that changing tires was necessary.

Verstappen moving up from the end of the grid to finish P2 was impressive.
