The race was not worth waking up at early for 😅

Can’t believe for a second year in a row there was no SC. Hopefully with a sprint next year we see more unpredictability.

Congrats McLaren for a back-to-back WCC win. There have been big blunders, but there have also been strong performances to make them deserve the title. Now please don’t mess with the WDC.

Strong performance by Russell this weekend. Stepped up tremendously in the last 18 months or so.

Good grief McLaren what is going on with your pit stops.

McLaren really opened up a can of worms with that driver swap in Monza. Expecting similar team radio requesting swaps until the end of the season.

Hoping it’ll be a good race to justify me having to wake up at 5 AM 😅

Genius with 27 words including PG. Quick one.

I got a fridge magnet like this a while ago for a friend:

Regarding Ferrari: https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/lewis-hamilton-urges-ferrari-to-copy-mercedes-as-pitlane-procedures-become-sticking-point/10765082/

I was gonna say I felt Lando’s performance to be a bit disappointing today. Apparently he’s unwell too: https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/lando-norris-reveals-illness-yet-refuses-to-blame-it-for-qualifying-result/10765049/

Missed watching quali live due to traveling.

Crazy quali laps by Russell. I believe he’s still a little unwell, so to pull off this kind of performance is commendable.

Antonelli also seems to have found his form again with a great P4.

Ferrari with the usual fumbling of Q3.

Hoped to see Alonso qualify higher up.

Aston Martin may be interested, but would Newey want that after escaping the chaos at Red Bull? I’m not sure how the relationship currently is between Newey and Horner.

I like how there’s a “closest to the wall” leaderboard 😅
