They didn’t replace the gearbox. Now there’s trouble, and he won’t even start the race.

I too highly recommend the Senna documentary. Senna was my favorite growing up, and I loved the races of that era.

The movie Rush is good about James Hunt and Niki Lauda.

Monaco has charm, class and magic, but if you ignore the scenery, it is often the worst race of the season.

I would love to go to Spa in Belgium, always a great time. The Canadian grand prix has also had some five star races.


Yeah if there's one documentary everyone should see, it is Senna. One of the best sports documentaries ever made (I think I've said this before). It is directed by Asif Kapadia who directed e.g. Amy about Amy Winehouse.

So disappointing. Apparently there's an issue with the driveshaft that they failed to find. Is Leclerc cursed at Monaco?

It was nice to see Vettel awarded Driver of the Day, but Perez also did an outstanding job in finishing 4th from 9th on the grid.

Yes, good races for those two drivers. Good win for Verstappen. Not a great race to look at. Too difficult to pass.

I’m a big fan of Perez and his racing lately. Been driving well this year

Yeah kind of a boring race to watch. I am glad though that Hamilton didn't win.

From what I've been reading, apparently it wouldn't be unlike Hamilton to go on a 6 race win streak after his disappointing weekend. Thoughts on that, fellas?

Also, are there any F1 podcasts on Spotify y'all would recommend? I've been listening to 3 Legs 4 Wheels, which is okay, and F1 Nation, which seems like a step up. One of the pundits from the former thinks the LeClerc crash was intentional based on Sainz's saying "this is unfair" over comms immediately following the flag being announced, as if it had been discussed as a possibility by Ferrari prior to qualifying. Seems far fetched, but I'm very green.

LeClerc with pole position again. That wall has already claimed a few. Should be a hoot.

Baku has become a very interesting circuit. Some of the best races in previous years.

So happy for Perez and Seb. Would've liked to see Ferrari place better but oh well.

Sounds like Pirelli have some damage control on their hands. Their C3s rated at 40 laps failed on Stroll at lap 30 and Verstappen at lap 32. Yikes!

Not bad by Gasly either. He's now gotten a 1st, a 2nd and a 3rd place finish, in the past year.

Pirelli claims it was due to debris, not the tires failing.

It was fantastic! I was rooting for Stroll after the qualifying crash and the climb to 4th. Shame for the tire issues but it made for a great ending. Gasly’s driving at the end was excellent.

Yeah the final laps were awesome. Maybe they should just change every race so that there would be a new start every ten laps, and the starting grid would be based on the positions gained/lost during those laps. It would be so much more interesting than what it's now. Happy for Vettel and glad that someone else than Verstappen/Hamilton won.

I was skeptical until I read that one of Hamilton's tyres also suffered a deep cut, likely due to debris, some time before the final restart (it was changed out, so wasn't caused by the lockup).

Bad luck at windy Baku.

What went wrong for Aston Martin in qualifying? Hoping to see some improvement from them and McLaren on race day. Would also be happy with a Ferrari podium.

Where do your allegiances lie, fellas?
