    Rest of this F1 campaign could be a belter... Verstappen has probably done enough at the start of the season to win the WDC, but feels like everyone has genuinely started to catch up now.

    Right... Leave the Regs alone, if thats the case.

    CHANGE NOTHING!!

    Exactly what @ForeverAddickted just said. New regs always means someone nails it and dominates even if it’s not Max.

    This season from here will be some of the closest grids. Lando is proving he can take on Max - he’s the real deal.

    Great performance hy Arvid Lindblad to win the F3 feature race. Just a shame that he's with Red Bull.

    Surprised more hasn’t been made of the fact the field has closed since Newey stopped working on the car. Maybe it’s a coincidence but I doubt it

    Yeah he's really creeping up as a dark horse for the title, just needs to get better at managing his tyres when he's not leading.

    Because when he does get in front, he just disappears

    Really enjoyed that race, a shame Lando couldn’t get a slightly better start

    Yeah not a boring race at all, brilliant start by Russell, and then battle between him and Norris.

    The slightly different strategies added some intrigue until about 7 laps to go too. Bodes well for the rest of the season

    Really excited for the next 2 weekends. Although how many Red Bull caps must Perez sell in Mexico to make that 2 year deal look remotely sensible to Dr Marko....

    Seems a crazy decision now (actually it seemed a crazy decision then too!)

    Absolutely it's looking a worse and worse decision by the weekend especially with the McLaren and Mercedes resurgences so Red Bull could really do with Checo being right in the mix to help the team.

    I can only assume that Max didn't want a teammate who might beat him but they could at least have gone for someone who can comfortably score decent points for the constructor's championship.

    Alpine renew Pierre Gasly long term. Will be interesting to see who is alongside him

    No where else to go springs to mind with that one...

     I think it's basically that. Mercedes would have been the only real option but that looks like being Kimi Antonelli (I hold no fault in what's going with him and Bearman in F2 , Prema have just not got to grips with the new car - Mercedes will have all of the data on him). 

    Will be interesting if Flavio has intervened and got Sainz signed alongside him though, if they can actually develop the car well enough and stop having management in fighting every few months that could be a good lineup.

    And Aston confirm Stroll long term too. Completely unsurprising and uninspiring.

    Marko might be having some tough talks... Perez 1.3 sec off Max at Austria is absolutely ridiculous.

    Mega job from the McLarens again to keep Max honest.

    Thank god they've not renewed Sergio's Contract yet, could you imagine it if they gave him a new two year deal.

    At this rate I'd be having Lawson in the main team let alone RB.

    They should have accidentally thrown that Contract in the Mclaren motorhome thingy that caught on fire last week.

    Just leave it with Hajdars ruined engine from F2.  Shame the pick of the Red Bull academy is too young to consider promoting yet in Arvid Lindblad

    He's suddenly on fire in F3 though, excuse the pun.

    Real dark horse for the title at the moment, and finally showing his potential after a poor run in FRMEC and end to F4 last year. Sounds so much more calmer than Hadjar over the radio as well.

    Pretty comprehensive pole for Max, just hope the race is a bit closer.

    Could do with Piastri being reinstated to help with that.
