I've watched this sport for 26 years. This is probably the best analysis I've ever seen where somebody is equally hilarious at the same time.
Nico Rosberg needs to be given a lifetime contract to be a #F1 pundit. Superb. #ItalianGP

On another point, you know F1 seasons are far too long when teams are announcing 2026 launch dates before the current season has ended. 24 races is 4 too many. 30 including Sprints. Ridiculous.

Alex was asked about leaving McLaren in the post-race F2 press conference yesterday. Says it was ultimately his call to leave. Interesting to see if plans are in place to join another academy.

I thought Hungary '21 with Hamilton was bad, I thought Silverstone '22 with Leclerc was even worse, what happened yesterday evening tops both by a mile. McLaren, what did you do. Unbelievable.
Operationally have they been worse than Ferrari in 2022? It's very, very close. No joking.

Kimi had a snap, lost the rear and lost a position. Standard racing stuff. Plus Kimi would probably want to help Verstappen a bit after 1) Austria 2) The fact they get on well.
GP apologised to Mercedes but the damage was done online at that stage. And you cannot reason with trolls.

Why is this Mercedes conspiracy theory sticking? Just watch the fucking onboard

Max Verstappen absolutely loved saying "another one" about McLaren's latest fumble 😂

In my first 15 seasons watching F1 (1999-2013), Ferrari won at least one race in each of them. Won is generous for Indy 2005, granted 😉
Since then, no wins in 2014, 2016, 2020, 2021. It looks like 2025 is going to be added to it. Quite the fall off.

Leclerc: "It's been a very boring weekend for me, but I could follow on the screen a little bit of that [the championship fight] and was trying to do the math in my head. And at least that was the most exciting part of my race."

Why is a journalist asking Fernando Alonso whether his partner is pregnant or not? That's TMZ level nonsense. F1 drivers have personal lives as well. Piss off.
Alonso said he wouldn't discuss it, perfect response to such invasive nonsense 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

So Hadjar blew a tyre because his front wing endplate completely broke. Issue started with 10 laps left and eventually collapsed. Not Pirelli to blame, so my bad there and apologies.

If McLaren somehow lose the #F1 Drivers' Championship to Max Verstappen, this radio message from Joseph will still haunt them long when we're gone.

Something that must be remembered: In 2024 it was announced Will Courtenay would be joining McLaren as Sporting Director but Red Bull blocked him joining until 2026.
His role at Red Bull? Red Bull's strategy chief. How much they needed him this year to help, even in the SD capacity. Unbelievable.

I know he was handed it by McLaren fumbling like you wouldn't believe but Max Verstappen. No words. He's always there. He never gives up. P2 in the championship with a race to go with that McLaren car this year, I have no words.
Easily one of the greatest of all-time. Making the difference 👏🏻

Would have been hilarious if McLaren ended up in the DRS behind Alonso but the way Nando managed that stint was extraordinary. Plenty of faster cars behind him and he managed, managed, managed, pushed in the last few laps to pull a gap for a safe stop. Extraordinarily clever.

Norris simply can't match Piastri. And the current gap could be huge where they come out in traffic, honestly could end up at like 5-6 places potentially. Alonso is key here....

Just warning in advance that I will likely lose it if any of the title contenders have a tyre failure, or anyone else tbh. It could also screw a title contender that way. Really unacceptable to be carrying that question into the penultimate round of the season.
Car failures are part of the sport.
