    As we are warming up for the Istanbul Grand Prix this weekend, I strongly recommend paying attention to the 8th turn, which is called "the diabolica" where drivers are exposed to 4-4.5 lateral g. Back in the days Felipe Massa aced this one and won his first GP victory.

    Too fast and you'll spin out, too slow and since its followed by a straight track you'll be overtaken.

    My recording ended before they even finished Q1, but fortunately I was able to flip over live and catch Q3. Merc-Max-Merc starting positions? Seems about right. Oh, wait...

    Awesome choice of tyres for Racing Point, at one point I heard Verstappen saying "I have no fucking grip with these tyres!". Hamilton should've spent more time training and less time complaining about the rain and grip.

    Really happy for Stroll a perfect opportunity for him to prove himself.

    Also first time Alfa Romeo team reaching Q3.

    Today was full of surprises...need more of this tomorrow.

    I could have bought an 11 pull and have 1000 gems left over, but all I got was this silly title.

    Man I missed a wet Quali? Feelsbadman. But 4am PST start nope wasn't going to happen. And definitely missing the race tomorrow. I'm usually awake naturally at 6am PST. No way I can do a 2am start.

    Cannot wait to see how much Merc is gonna take a shit this race with a 50% chance of rain. It seems the gave 0 fucks about rain performance this season.

    Hamilton's idea of turning Inter. tyres into dry ones by literally wearing them out was pure genius, 48 laps with a single tyre set!

    I am also sad for Stroll, decision to get him to change tyres was the breaking point. His teammate got 2nd place with a single tyre set just like Hamilton.

    Strategy played an important part in this race and kudos to Hamilton, refusing to change tyres despite recommendation by his team. Well deserved.

    Fuck Hamilton, but god damn i can’t deny his genius and merit that got him that W.

    Also Fuck YES Vettel got a podium this year finally.

    Where will Albon go next year??? Yuki Tsunoda from F2 is practically guaranteed that Alpha Tauri seat. Red Bull please sign Checo or Hulk asap.

    LOLLEWISWINS!

    Well, you guys covered all my thoughts from Lewis, to Stroll, and hell yes Seb!

    Really great race from Lewis, Checo, and the Ferrari boys. Really cut it close with the recording. Lewis hadn't even stepped out of his car when it cut off there.

    I'm disappointed there weren't at least a dozen actual dry laps out there to be able to see them actually cut loose on this track though.

    Binotto no longer attending race weekends? Seb gets podium.

    If Ham were to retire now to focus on his Extreme E team, he would be on top of the world with Schumi in the 7 world titles. If that were to be the case, fun speculation. Perez to Merc w/ Bottas. Hulk to Red Bull.

    He is at his peak really. He should continue turning his performance and fame into cash until he starts feeling the decline, then focus on other investments and interests.

    What's still to be announced in terms of driver lineup at this point? Teammates for Max and Gasly?

    Sergio Perez was not in good terms with Racing Point. He was set to leave back in September.

    Red Bull/Alpha Tauri was eyeing to move up Yuki Tsunoda from F2.

    I see RB leaning more towards Sergio due to his performance, especially in Turkey, his tire management is quite possibly one of the best in the grid.

    Watching the replay again, as much as i can’t stand Ham’s consistent winning with Merc, he’s the GOAT right now, his drive and way of thinking to stay on the inters last race was some next level stuff.

    I'm not sure crashing in FP2 is the type of statement Albon was hoping to make in these final 3 weeks of the season. Just when they started up after the red flag from that, they had another red flag... for a dog running around on the track.

    Any thoughts, Seb?

    Albon pretty much sealed the deal, Checo to RBR next year!!

    Let’s have a good quali today.
