    All Kiwi F1 followers should be McLaren fans.

    After being very boring for several years, F1 has suddenly got interesting.

    Maybe half a dozen drivers can win at the mo.

    And Max has had some learnings in the last couple of weeks―learnt how to be overtaken! And without driving like a DH!

    I disagree, I think Red Bull are the team to follow Kiwi or not.
    I do agree that it is way more interesting now without the Reb Bull and Mercedes dominance.

    Haha

    There is pretty much nothing I like about Red Bull, except the fact that they put a lot of money into all sports.

      I dislike the way they rename all their sports teams Red Bull, or attempt to.

      I dislike the way they change all their sports teams colours to their corporate colours.

      Imagine what it would be like if all the main corporate sponsors did this.

      The Red Bull All Blacks with red, white and yellow trim.

      Nah.

      And....Red Bull the product....disgusting....

        I did not think of it that way but it is a very valid point. They use there team more to promote there company rather than the sport. We are seeing the same thing happen in Americas cup

          Ok fair enough. I do agree with the money fact as it grows the sport massively.

            Looking forward to the Belgium GP. What do you predict the grid will be? who will start from pole?

              That was a brilliant race by Russell. Guy has no luck and his team should take a long hard look at themselves.

                Yeah.
                Great racing now from the top 8.
                Gotta be careful with any adjustments you make now, easily make your car slower.
                Tyre management critical.
                Thought all the cars were pitting for tyres to early.
                Hamilton said his tyres were still ok both times he pitted.
                Russell's one stop strategy was an obvious move to me.
                Not sure the weight issue would have made any dif in the actual race, DQ was fair tho.
                Weight is black and white.
                Although...they did weigh him twice (smack on first time)...must of made the officials suspicious...
                Mercedes engineers probably knew they were going to be in trouble while the race was still on.
                Left 2.8 litres of fuel in the tank!

                    Might clear the way for Liam Lawson to join whatever they call Alpha Tauri now. I would have been surprised to see LL elevated directly into RB from the reserve spot

                                    Perez is lucky he's such a financial power, because he's certainly not doing his talking on the track right now

                                    He's certainly doing his talking on the track, he's talking bullshit

                                    If he keeps his form up it could make the race for the constructors Championship interesting

                                      Constructors championship should be a good fight now. Particularly with Perez not helping much

                                          @canefan Stroll hasn't been doing that much worse than Alonso lately. There are worse drivers for you to bitch about.

                                          I'm intrigued to see how shit that Williams actually is next year now, whether Sargent was on a hiding to nothing and Albon is as good a driver as the pundits suggest.

                                          Brundle suggesting there will be 5 antipodeans driving next year.
