My highlight was Nico Rosberg’s pre=race interview with Jos Verstappen. Said to Jos ’ you were very noisy last year when Horner was still at the helm of RB, but now that he is gone, you’ve gone all quiet.’ Great stuff from Nico.
When do they leave Europe? I hate these 11pm starts on a Sunday night.
Just checked - Singapore but not till October….Singapore also at 11
yep, remaining season is (Melbourne times):
so Hungary and then a 4 week break. Lots of Essendon footy to keep us entertained.
RIP my work efficiency on December Mondays!
Verstappen staying at Red Bull for 2026

British luxury sports and supercar maker Aston Martin is to separate from its flagship race team and could remove itself from the London Stock Exchange.
The company has signed a binding letter of intent to sell its stake in the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team to an as-yet undisclosed buyer. It won’t make a huge difference to the race division as the ‘parent’ company actually only owned 4.6% of the sporting arm, but the $146 million sale will raise will be a welcome cash injection for the car business, which continues to struggle financially.
Just yesterday, Aston Martin issued a profit warning, blaming U.S. tariffs and China’s economic slowdown, which means the company will only just break even this year. The new forecast caused the share price to drop seven percent in a day.
Hope the WDC is decided after Vegas (I know that it probably won’t be)
Qualifying coming up. Let’s go Oscar. My 12 year old son loves his cars. Points out all the classics, sports cars as we are driving around and he knows all the cars by name and loves it. I haven’t really talked to him about the F1 but tonight he asked if he can stay up and watch the qualifying . Of course I said yes. I guess we will be watching together for the rest of the year.
Hamilton knocked out in Q2, will start from 13th. Antonelli also missed the cut
LeClerc gets pole, Oscar 2nd
Not pole for Oscar but ahead of Lando. That’s a win for me.
McLaren’s were nearly half a second slower than they were in Q2
Piastri to Lando hahaha
Leclerc to Hamilton

McLaren’s were nearly half a second slower than they were in Q2
Any reason why? I’m still in Europe so can’t watch.
Track temp down and wind change Q2 to Q3
