F1 is back in action.

Hamilton immediately takes a 10 grid penalty for changing the internal combustion engine.

Hate that they couldn’t run these at Suzuka this year but I’m digging the Honda tribute livery

You do? I find white to be a boring color for racing cars. I'll even take deep pink.

I could care less what color they are just as long as they go faster than everyone else!

Leclerc reminds more of Alesi everyday.

The potential is there, but can he stop making mistakes.

Schumacher qualified for Q2 in a Haas, incredibly.
And the throwback Honda paint scheme looks great.

 

[Kiante]

Lewis is something else.

Valtteri did his part, about a tenth off in front of the Red Bulls.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Lewis is going to win.

What's going on? Tell me!

Lewis was so dominant in practice and qualifying he might be able to win from 11th.

Ah yes. Mercedes is looking strong here. But starting from that far back is a tall task. We'll see.

 

[shark77]

Conditions look similar for the race as they were for qualifying. Should make for a good race with track evolution.

 

[Reck]

Looks like a wet start that will quickly transition into dry. This will be a crazy race.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Been a while since I’ve been able to watch. Should be wild

 

[Kiante]

High humidity, so the track is going to be damp for quite a while.

Gasly you idiot.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Last year they ran the whole race on Intermediates even though it wasn't raining anymore IIRC.
Might take a while to dry up.

 

[Kiante]

Tsunoda's defensive driving is pretty good.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Yuki is doing a great job against Lewis.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Penalty on Gasly is ridiculous IMO. They were three wide.

 

[Reck]

Hamilton is just taking it slow and easy.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Max needs the track to dry cause he is doing nothing right now

 

[Kiante]

Bottas is still in the low 34s.

No degradation at all after the resurface.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Lewis absolutely has a chance to win today.

 

[Kiante]

I think inter-slicks will be on the menu again this race.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

More rain could add another layer to this race

 

[Kiante]

Mazepin bro, please.

 

[donthaveanickname]

They're not gonna run slicks today.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Fantastic from Sergio

 

[Kiante]

That was nice racing by both, touch naughty by Lewis pushing Checo out.

Still, they kept it together.

 

[Kiante]

Aston put Vettel on slicks...

Wtf?

 

[Reck]

Aston Martin are morons.

 

[donthaveanickname]

They're not gonna run slicks today.

Well Vettel is...

 

[FLRacingFan]

So that certainly didn’t pan out.

 

[donthaveanickname]

What on earth were they thinking?

 

[FLRacingFan]

Couldn’t even hit pit entrance. Jesus.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Ferrari better keep Charles out

 

[donthaveanickname]

This could be the first time in over 20 years that someone wins without making a stop.

 

[Mispeedway15]

Ferrari better keep Charles out

Not quite lol

 

[Reck]

Mercedes messed up. Lewis had ok pace for P3.

 

[Reck]

LOL relying on computers for results.
