    I was hoping they would try to interview Max after the race, I think that would've been interesting.

    They did. I'm guessing they just don't show it to you guys. But there's a medium zone where all the drivers have to go through, same as MotoGP post-race.

    He was short on taking responsibility for his own conduct and basically threw the team under the bus but was surprisingly levelheaded and calm. He brushed off the Hamilton incident as "these things happen, we shouldn't have been there in the first place," which probably means he knows he's guilty.

    Think that gasbag Jos will be able to keep his trap shut. :crackup:

    How long has it taken you to come to that conclusion?

    I wondered what the team orders would have been had he given the place back sooner. So he (Norris) took himself out of a chance to fight back. Interesting.

    I had no interest in F1 but my 15yo daughter started following seriously in the past month or so. Not through Drive To Survive, surprisingly. Random Instagram influencers? I have no idea. She knows whose dog gets a paddock pass. :D. She forwards me qualifying results too. She's a McLaren fan-girl so this morning was exciting. I was shocked Miss Awake-at-11 got up to watch with me.

    Max is a whiney bitch. Holy crap. The Hamilton incident was great. You know he had time to think it through - "I could open up my line ... oooooor maybe just let this unfold".

    Your daughter is the Lady Of The Dance, right? Man, she has some strange interests for an American teenager. :D

    Kimi has the best response ever to a team order...."fuck you, I know what I'm doing"

    Steeltoe What's my move?

    Max Verstappen is a dirty driver.

    Also, if Norris wasn't such a consistently shitty start the whole thing could have been avoided.

    IMO

    Kyle Larson paid homage to the McLaren team today at the Brickyard 400 by painting some McLaren orange graphics on his car.

    True enough. Still indifferent to all things 2 wheeled although when motorcycles came up in 8th grade for some reason, she was able to say "you know, like Ducati, Aprilia, Husqvarna". No, they did not know.

    I loved that Max was called 'childish' over the radio :crackup:

    Was kinda hoping Lando would keep 1st. All the greats have this happen at some point and they all choose points over team.

    From Oscars side, not sure I would want my first win this way.

    So I still don't understand why they made them swap. Doesn't affect constructors fight. Landon loses more points to Max.

    It was to make up for the bad pit strategy McLaren had with Piastri.

    Still doesn't make sense. Put an asterisk next to that win. Lando was clearly faster.
