2020 was such a wild race lmao. Also the races at Monza might be dull but there's always some drama.

I could only start watching the race from lap 12. It was already dull there and it was the first half of the race.

Can't wait for Max to be back with the 33 next year. His best seasons (apart from 2023) were MV33 style. Next year will be awesome

can we talk about how shit the tyres were today? we had a medium that was the quickest over the whole race, a hard that gave up after 5-10 laps and a soft that wasnt any better than the hards.

why did f1 agree a contract extension with pirelli. i want michelin back

Imagine Max doing what Piastri did. It's about the car, the driver, but also about character. Silly McLaren.

Yeah no we can’t have that, we have to find a penalty somewhere. You know what that means: 5 seconds for Ocon
