    Currently being given a tour of Imola. The Senna Memorial is proper lump in your throat stuff. Hairs on the back of my neck standing up


  • Was it ever in doubt... Its matter of time until Freddie Slater makes it to F1

    Can't wait to see him and de Palo as teammates next season

    Will be interesting to see when he signs with an academy. Whoever can get him to F1 the fastest I expect will nab him.

    Shame that FRECA "ended" between him and Matteo the way it did, was hoping we'd see a proper battle to the finish between them, but that was always going to be difficult given its kids racing around Monza.

    I think its the main things surrounding his future now isn't it... "When" and "Who with"

    Could see Williams, replacing one of Albon or Sainz for 2028, maybe Norris / Piastri will want to leave McLaren by then, but they've got Van Langendonck coming through F4 now so might not want to risk obscuring his pathway, Red Bull / Racing Bulls could be a route, or even Aston Martin / Sauber could be an option replacing Alonso or Hulkenberg.

    Exciting qualy.  Great to see Norris on pole.  From his earlier comments - think Verstappen set car up more for the race than qualy...race could be fun!

    Great lap by Lando. If he can improve his starts and win tomorrow it will send a really strong message about the WDC that he's ready for it.

    Isn't pole a horrible place to start in Mexico because of the tow down the long straight

    Yeah you don't want pole in Mexico with the run to T1.

    Could easily see it kicking off if the Ferraris and George get away well, they've got nothing to lose.

    What a farce of an opening lap, stick a bunch of tyre barriers out there and none of them would dream of just flying through the grass on the outside there
  • WTF IS OLLIE BEARMAN DRIVING!!! :D

    Like watching a bunch of day-trippers on a karting day
  • Stewards need to start dishing out penalties here, this is ridiculous

    Bearman could be on for a podium if he can somehow hang on, especially if Hamilton is under investigation

    That was a proper ballsy move from him on Verstappen!!

    Did Crofty call Max Verstappen “Sebastian Vettel” just now?

    Come on... If Hamilton has got a 10-second penalty, why isn't everyone else who went off getting on?

    Looking at Leclerc and Verstappen on Lap One!!

    Why isn’t Croft talking about Verstappen gaining an advantage? He’s comparing Hamilton to LeClerc, but conveniently ignoring Verstappen’s TWO occasions of leaving the track and gaining an advantage?

    So come on…. Verstappen penalty for turn one and sliding into Hamilton with another reckless move?!

    I've failed to understand Karun's logic as well, saying that Verstappen shouldnt get penalised because he was passed Russell

    Yeah because he went deep, and didn't brake early enough, which caused him to cut the corner in the first place.

    Why does it take 20 laps for the stewards to investigate what happened on lap 1? make it make sense!

    WTF are Crofty and Karun watching? They don’t remember the second Verstappen incident. ffs. 
  • Bearman is opening the gap on Verstappen, and closing on Hamlton!!

    This is going to be the race that puts him in the Ferrari in a few years... The poor bloke

    WTF - how has Max got away with that?
  • At least Russell is giving us some entertaining radio messages... He's not wrong either though

    Mercedes looks like they've recruited the Ferrari Strategy team for the weekend

    Oh come on Ollie... He so deserves a podium today!!

    If only the Stewards had the balls to give Verstappen a penalty, but he'll be rewarded as per usual

    Max has totally got away with it on that lap one first corner
