Fans: Well. This one should be a dud.
Kyvat: Hold my vodka.
But seriously. Sometimes the duds have some moments. I hate Singapore with a passion but the mid field was giving er last week. Nearly made it semi okay.

Okay I didn't even think of this one and it's awesome as well.
The one I thought about is on the highlights on the race and was shown on the intl' feed.

Honda is handing out new ICE's for their drivers, so Max, Gasly and Albon are all taking 5 spot penalties. Kvyat will start at the back. Honda is doing this in preparation for the Japanese GP.

Kinda wish Max was starting from the back after the absolute clinic he put on last year from the back.

Looks like the Russian race could have some issues moving forward ..

Hungary and Singapore were both surprisingly good. Maybe this will follow the trend.

Since Renault will only supply their factory team, this isn't good for their long term commitment to F1 if the rumors are true that they are kind of waivering about how long they want to stay.

The rest of this season would be so exciting if Ferrari wasn't such a mess at the beginning.

Peroni's incident in Monza and now this. FIA needs to take a hard look in the mirror with these runoff areas they've come up with. It was obvious something like this would eventually happen when half the field takes the escape route into turn 1, just glad no one was hurt on this one.

I cant even remember the last time I could refer to Lewis Hamilton as "unlucky". Sometime in 2016?
Good showing from Albon though. Feel confident Gasly doesn't have that drive.

Sometimes when I can't sleep at night I think about what Sainz could be doing as Red Bull's second driver.
Also. Just me or are others finding Leclerc less likeable these days? Either way. I can see Vettel and Leclerc as teammates TOO long. This is just a powder keg waiting to go off and gets closer and closer with each week.

There's a LOT of vitriol thrown at Leclerc, and having seen absolutely ridiculous amount of vitriol thrown at Ocon, I'm ready to qualify the situation as pure French hate that passes as regular F1 commentary.
But sure, a driver that has valid reason to be mad at this team might sound a tad more unlikeable when talking to them.

Leclerc realized after Austria that nice guys finish last in F1. He hasn't been the same driver since.
In Hamilton's case I think we can safely say it's amazing how much "luck" you seem to get when your superior to your competition
The guy is unbelievably good at what he does

Certainly. I don't want to discredit how good a driver he is. He's obviously elite.
And it could definitely be a case of you gotta be good to be lucky but he does seem to have more luck than most.

I know F1 has put an emphasis on improving camera angles, locations and graphics since Liberty Media took over but why is world feed director getting worse? He's been in charge since May of this year after 20 years with F1 in other capacities, but maybe they should have brought someone in from the outside. It's getting ridiculous. When the drivers are complaing on behalf of their sponsors, you've got a problem.

Agreed.
We shouldnt have to go to twitter or reddit to see clips of some terrific passes or battles that don't make it to TV.
If there's an epic Max vs Leclerc chase/battle at the front...that's fine...but if there's nothing happening up there maybe show us the insane 4 way battle for points on the final lap etc.

Is it luck or just Hamilton and his teams professionalism?
I'm the first person to admit Ferrari are run by donkeys but Mercedes seem to be able to take full advantage of it every single time, there's skill in that
I always thought that if you had the fastest car you would win in the modern era but I was really wrong
