I put that down to the "role" he plays on Drive To Survive. That show stopped being a "documentary" years ago.

Agree with that. I enjoyed Will when he was on Speed, but his DTS persona is more grating.

Luckily, I haven't seen the last season or two of DTS.
Buxton is good on the prerace on F1TV
Also really like when JButton is on for commentary

The last season of DTS had Claire (former owner of Williams) and she brought a very unique perspective. It was great to see her on the show.

Still trying to wrap my head around the new announced changes to F1.

And, of course, JV comes out of the gate being the pompous asshole that he always has been. I’ve got no problem with him having an opinion on Daniel, but express it in a more adult and professional way perhaps?

Hate clicks are the only way people will pay attention to him. I do like his opinion about tracks needing more grass and gravel to punish driver mistakes instead of 4 miles of runoff on every track.

Interesting Q3
Also, Yuki retained at RB. One more [expected, IMO, he's been driving a lot better] seat off the table.

Both Ferraris out of Q3 and Sergio Perez rewards his new Red Bull contract by shitting himself not advancing past Q1. He's looking to be F1's largest waste of space since Ricardo Patrese.

Russell really deserved it as he not only did it first (the official tie breaker) but he did his on a used set of tires vs Max on a new set.
Lando was third, a whole .021 seconds off.

Mercedes looking strong this weekend, we'll see how that translates into race pace

Russel picked up a toll from Abon on his lap, the track was faster when Max did his. It should be a very interesting start.

Danny Ric in 5th was stunning over Yuki in 8th

Ferrari both out in Q2 was the real shocker.

RBR [Max at least] really looked to be struggling until the last Q3 lap

Well, that was an enjoyable race to watch. Nice to see some racing. Not all about tire management and pit stop execution. Watching Hass on extreme wets was ….fun.

That's one of their sponsors (Google) color scheme.

It's like Chrome is the most used browser in the world with that logo or something...

Not only Chrome but the Microsoft logo uses the same colors but in a square vs circle.

Funny thing is, we get quite an education here on Sigforum. I never noticed (or cared really) about their colors before this. Smile
