But I'm gonna be full Alonso fan for the race. At least second hopefully.

Some of you guys are forgetting that Red Bulls race pace is even stronger then quali pace.
Max will be untouchable tomorrow pending any car issues.
I hope Russell and Lewis crash each other. Can't stand either one. Russell's head is massive now that he drives for Mercedes.

Alpine should be absolutely ****ing PISSED that the FIA wanted a full standing restart there.
IDGAF if it was all by the rules, they should be raising hell.
The FIA’s decision turned it into a drag race with only 2 laps left. They knew full well there would be no less than the chaos we just saw.
Edit: Now they decide to do what they should have done in the first place and do a rolling restart. (Except now it will just end under safety car since it’s only 1 lap left.)
Dude they absolutely ****ed Alpine HARD.
Had they done this in the first place, both their cars would have scored some great points.
So the FIA made a dog**** decision, kicked like 4 cars out the race and caused an ass of money in damage, to simply end the race under safety car.

I'm still watching slightly delayed, after the clusterfuk restart but before the finish. The FIA is going to have to change the rules, a full standing restart with only 2 laps left is crazy and should never happen again.
Edit: omg the carlos 5 sec penalty, this race will be talked about for a long time, what a farce from the FIA. Looking forward to the reaction videos this week.

I signed up to the official F1TV app but not sure where it can be watched in full for free.

F1 TV is the GOAT. They honestly surprise me with how well they do.
I've even watched races on my phone via 4g while on vacation with no problem.

Wow, Max's starts have been clearly his weakest point.
I will tell my biased is towards hating mercedes. But dear lord does Russel make me hate them even more. How's he bitching about his teammate racing him when Max is pushing the pace. Seeing him in 8th place for standings is enjoyable.
I actually didn't mind the standing start. I think a time penalty when you're forcing the time at the end of the race is BS. I'd like to see them change the rules to Red Flag = Standing restart with at least a Green, White, Checkered flag to end the race.
If it doesn't end with one of those you do a Rolling Start, Green, White, Checkered.
Ending a eventful race this way is pretty lame IMO.
Kmag's been a cluster **** this year is pretty annoying.

Just the game is pretty legit. Way better then the dumb F1 game they came out with where you spend more time doing social media stuff then actually racing xD.

I can't find confirmation anywhere, but I heard on a podcast that they're changing Sprint layouts.
Basically instead of the Sprint result being your starting position for the race, they will now be treated as two 100% separate events and each will have their own qualifying, which will replace FP2 on the sprint weekend.
This will incentivize drivers to actually push hard on Sprint races, because they would be allowed to fix the cars if they break before the next quali, unlike the way the Sprint weekends currently go due to Parc Ferme conditions.

I really hope they get rid of the Net Zero BS.
It's a waste of time, and no one is trying to watch or not watch b/c of their carbon footprint.
They should also get rid of the race as one bs.

Grid penalties help mix up the field, cost caps help pull up lagging teams for development.
I think an obvious cost reduction is to have 1 person per wheel during pit stops the way they do in F2, this also adds more human skill to the equation. Eliminating tire warmers will add a TON of driver skill to the races.
Gordon Murray suggested to ban radios, which would be INSANE because drivers would need to know their own situation entirely regarding pit stops, tire degradation, and damage. They could still use pit boards to communicate to the drivers, but that is incredibly limited compared to radios (obviously)
Technological innovation has reached a peak where no one is impressed by it. A new computer chip that can interpret how much a driver is sweating and send the data to a race engineer isn't impressive.... Drivers making their own call as to when they're coming in for new tires IS impressive.
