    I am fairly sure this is the worst race I have ever seen. Might as well have called it 80 formation laps. Jesus.

      I think I counted like 5 overtakes that did not involve a crashed car. Ridiculous really. Last week at least there was some hope that one could pull a move. No such hope here

          Have they?? I can’t remember any year with 0. Till lap 50, I was thinking that we may have zero today.

              Oh yeah. I completely forgot about that. I guess that the strategic battle between overcutting and undercutting kept me engrossed enough. Also helped by the fact that verstappen was not driving nearly as slowly as people today.

    Oh my god that was dangerous from Ocon, Gasly is absolutely right to be pissed.

    Ocon literally did what he did to Perez back at Force India - overtake stupidly and leave no room for his teammate.

    Leclerc says he’ll bring the car home, proceeds to drive directly to his apartment parking garage.

    Tsunoda and Albon in 8th and 9th just got lapped by Russell and Verstappen in 5th and 6th…

    Very happy for Charles!

    But something needs to happen to this race. As it is now it is a Saturday race with qualifying, the race on Sunday is negligible, boring even.

        Well, this is an old school track so how about we honor the old school ‘adventures’ that made racing so dangerous and exciting?

        1. The water spraying at unknown intervals as you mentioned
        2. Force all the drivers to drink a pint of whiskey and smoke a cigar before they are allowed to enter their cars
        3. Make the guardrails out of bails of hay
        4. Make sure that the runoff areas are running off into the harbour
        5. Mandatory faulty wheel nut, you just do not know which of the four it will be
        6. Helmets made from leather
        7. No visors allowed, just a ray-ban clubmasters

        Perhaps if we introduce these rules the race will become more entertaining?
