@Danimal506 thanks! It definitely was.

Fun fact: Suzuka is one of the cheapest Grand Prix to attend in terms of ticket prices. 3rd cheapest if I remember correctly

Qualifying has been absolute carnage this morning, and it’s still not over. So many mechanics are about to put in some serious work to get these cars ready for the GP.

Simply lovely. What a race. Driver of the day earned it. Well done by Alpine too!

[alexxedge]

@WhiskeySandwich absolutely wild race. Curious to see if anything will come from the botched second formation lap.

interesting weekend with the rain. definitely quite exciting to watch

Qatar was an absolute disgrace. The grid penalty to Max because of George’s whining, then the worst race direction and stewardship I’ve ever seen. That mirror sitting out there for almost 10 laps led two two punctures and two penalties, and they’re lucky that was it. Then they went way overboard on the penalty to Lando, and I suspect many other drivers were guilty and not given effectively a death penalty.

This was obvious thumb on the scale for a WCC race to go down to the wire. I’m glad no one died due to this chicanery but it completely ruined the race.

Garbage circuit, garbage race direction, garbage race stewardship.

MBS is a fucking disgrace....

@Giles I’m sorry, but I’m going to fine you for that…

[goosehd]

…and if you don’t want to pay the fine, you can perform a “work of public interest”.

[Tago Mago]

two fines, one for swearing and one for voicing a dissenting opinion

[goosehd]

@Alex @Madame-Buttonfly Can G go a day without swearing? I know I can’t…

[Giles]

I was also wearing jewellery and non-approved underwear when I said that....

[goosehd]

@Giles Where was the said jewelry??

[Tago Mago]

@Giles you're a real danger seeker

My dream scenario is Vettel replaces him and establishes legitimacy the sport deserves

Is that an actual possibility?

Could you imagine

This weekend was so messy. The ridiculous penalties and the broken mirror are unfortunately the only things that made the GP as interesting as it was.

Also, Zhou getting P8 in that tractor absolutely deserved driver of the day.
