I think he knew exactly what he was doing there
In fact I'm disliking Verstappen and Red Bull more and more every day!

I'm loving the hard racing between Hamilton & Verstappen

Agree, he came across as a right nut job, unhinged egotistical oddball.

No surprise really, be interesting to see where the team is at seeing as they completely gave up on the 2021 car.

WOW!! What a great qualifying result!

Chaotic finish

Chaotic finish

If ever a race defined calling it at the right time it was that one. Both Mercedes and Red Bull called a blinder there. Norris had a bit of a mare, such a shame!

The trouble was that Norris was on a hiding to nothing. Pitting from the lead with a few laps to go can look very wrong if the rain doesn't get heavier. So much easier to pit from second place.
I'm sure if Norris & Hamilton had been the other way round at that point then Norris would have pitted before Hamilton.

I could be wrong but it sounded like the team (McLaren) were advising him (Norris) on the radio to pit but he firmly said "No" .

Lewis Hamilton will take a 10-place grid penalty for Sunday's Turkish GP after Mercedes fitted the championship leader with a new engine

Another boring race, faultless drive from Max. I’d love to go next year just for the atmosphere.

to which race/venue?

Spa or the Dutch GP.

I would like to do an F1 race and a Le Mans 24 Hour, I have already done the Indianapolis 500

Was thinking about the calendar earlier, with upcoming expansion to 23 races in 2022 and arguments for better "geographical grouping" of races.

Had a go at a 2023 calendar. I think it could go to 25 races, running from just after mid-March to late November. Better geographical grouping of races males for less travelling, better for environment, drivers and other staff. No "summer break" as such. Couple of new races - Finland (has a Grade 1 track, can't believe it doesn't have a race considering the talent and world champions to come out of that country); a second US race (East and West, with annual rotation of venues); return to Argentina, heritage venue with Fangio); back to Turkey (great track); and back to Kyalami in South Africa as per recent reports.
