    I almost preferred being a McLaren fan when they weren’t winning races. Too much disappointment when they have the potential to win titles.

    Max is out there giving a masterclass on wet weather racing, and Perez is stuck behind Lawson.

    Checo, just retire mate.

    Imagine being An Aston Martin mechanic working your ass off to repair the car in no time just to see the driver bin it in the formation lap.

    17 to 1st, even under the conditions is amazing. What a race by Verstappen.

    Looking like this could be Max’s greatest race, he seems on another level. The first lap alone was incredible.

    Another lead for Norris lost in lap 1 :(

    Verstappen already up to 10th and out for blood.

      To be fair to Norris he knows he just needs to not crash and stay ahead of Max. Russell knew that and just needed to start well enough to make him nervous.

      He’s not really lost time to Russell and seems to be catching up now (lap 13). I suppose he’ll try to pass if Max gets to p5 or p4.

        With Norris in 2nd and Verstappen currently in 6th with fastest lap there’s a 9 point difference.

        To close the 44 point gap Norris needs to outscore him by more than 11 points each race (not including the Qatar sprint).

      Stroll knew the clouds in Brazil were different. After an amazing weekend, he finishes ahead of Albon.

      Do you honestly think they will use this race? I would think it’s much too complex in racing which they usually avoid to bring interpersonal stories. (Not a complaint, it’s a show about stories in F1, not about racing)

    Could be a heavy punishment for Lando. With stewards on track there was a potential danger which should result in penalty.

    What a day. What a drive by Verstappen.

    Alpine leapfrogging to P6 in the WCC. Incredible.

    Norris off the track and loses track position.

    The racing gods taking away all of the blessings they gave McLaren during quali and giving it to Verstappen now.
