Front Row Motorsports don't seem to have had that much success in 20 years, but consider that Bob Jenkins makes his money off of running Long John Silvers franchises. He's gotta be a bit smart for being able to manage that.

I wrote a column last year about the Germain/SHR situations. It's important to maybe read up about them because Hamlin brought up Germain directly and SHR indirectly in his testimony today.

The GP comment I actually really don’t blame on him at all. That was in the moment, clearly emotions are running high. There’s also a good chance he didn’t actually get a good view of it in-the-moment, I didn’t either with the Hadjar puncture.

It’s a new low for Marko, as per usual.
He is 19.

Horrible abuse of Kimi Antonelli after his mistake which led to Lando Norris overtaking in Qatar. More than 1,100 comments, including death threats. I've seen some of them and have no words to describe.

Red Bull have released a statement 'regretting' GP and Helmut Marko's comments 🗣
F1 star Kimi Antonelli, 19, blacks out Instagram profile after death threats
Express Sport understands more than 1,100 severe comments were sent to Kimi Antonelli's social media accounts.

Note that this post was made with nine laps to go.

There is zero reason to believe Antonelli gave the position to Norris on purpose, and hate on social media of any kind, let alone dictated to a 19-year-old who made one small mistake after two master class races, is wrong.
Note that Mercedes has still not clinched second in WCC, so there is zero incentive for Antonelli to hand Norris this fourth place.

I've been working on a new NASCAR Classics Spreadsheet, built from the ground up in the same style as my IndyCar and F1 TV trackers. I've gotten up to 1993 fully complete and the outline of 1994-1999 complete. Please let me know if there are any issues -

I’m working on an awards column, and I’m trying to figure out what is the bigger story this year: Ferrari and Hamilton flopping, or the championship battle

Incredible stat:

On the last Five Occasions that at least Three Drivers were involved in the title decider - 1981, 1983, 1986, 2007 & 2010 - The driver leading the championship heading into the race never went on to win the title.

Can Norris break the curse?

If any of them end up equal on points after Abu Dhabi, it will be decided on countback, where the current standings are:

Norris: 7 P1s, 6 P2s, 2 P3s
Verstappen: 7 P1s, 4 P2s, 2 P3s
Piastri: 7 P1s, 3 P2s, 4 P3s

So, that means:

If NOR finishes anywhere ahead of VER and PIA, he is Champion.

If NOR finishes anywhere on the podium, he is Champion.

If VER wins, NOR has to finish P4 or lower for VER to be Champion.

If PIA wins, NOR has to finish P6 or lower for PIA to be Champion.

Case in point: if Lando's engine doesn't fail at Zandvoort for a reason McLaren said was their fault, Norris would be celebrating his first championship at this moment as he'd be 30 points ahead of Verstappen.
I will stress that Norris has not been the issue at all this second half of the season. This is all on McLaren for this shit.

But there's also no doubt that the best driver is still very much Verstappen. It's hard to say the best driver won the championship if he doesn't do so next week.

Beautiful troll job
After Red Bull made the right pit stop call which won the race for Max Verstappen, it's only fitting that head strategist Hannah Schmitz will be on the podium with the Dutchman!

Guys, I really do think this battle would be more interesting with playoffs
November 30, 2025 at 5:22 PM
McLaren has had the fastest car all fucking year. How the fuck do you give away the championship like this. For the second year in a row! HOW?!
November 30, 2025 at 5:15 PM
"He's looking to chase you down" is an incredible radio communication to send to Max in any situation.

After all of the text messages have come out in the last month, I’d really want there to be a blind poll on if the NASCAR garage has lost faith in current management of the series.
