Nurburgring. Not the most exciting race to watch, been dipping in and out over the last 20 hrs, Max is doing ok.
Great for the drivers.

the track itself creates the excitement, I mean it would be insane they race on it for 24hrs, and the weather there is crazily unpredictable, if all the cars were the same spec, but they arent, youve got things like Maxs GT3 Merc, and just a factory spec Dacia Logan with a roll cage and Max Power go faster rear wing on it.

some of the overtakes half on the grass, cars getting air over some of the bumps. its a nuts race.

It's a good achievement to get to the end.

I chanced upon it yesterday on youtube, a live stream I think.
I didn't pay much attention to be fair, but am I correct in thinking it was a 24 hour live stream from the car he had shifts in?
Seemed a tad strange to market it like that, but maybe just me, or I misunderstood.
There was commentary, and picture in picture, but the main picture was always from inside the car.
When I watched he was up to 6th.

There was one stream set up from the Verstappen car, but also live coverage of the race from cameras around the circuit in various places including Sky Sports F1. Commentary taken from Radio le Mans.

A decent couple of Formula E races from Monaco this weekend. Today's race was better than yesterday's, with plenty of well-sharpened elbows, but both were quite entertaining.

Back to Canada for this weekends GP .

Hopefully a few more forward steps for a lot of the teams so will see how it goes.

Anymore details?

Good day's action from a scorchio Snetterton. That last touring car race was a belter.

No spoilers for the Canadian F1. I may not be in favour of the new engine/battery regulations, but the new cars can actually closely follow each other and it produced a cracking race today.

It was a good one. Although this circuit usually throws up a decent race.

It was good. And as they are learning more about the new powertrains the racing feels more natural and less stilted.

For the first time in ages, I actually enjoyed a race.

That ding-dong battle between the Mercs was something else.

 

[glasgowcyclist]

Does anyone know when they stopped playing the winning driver’s and team’s national anthems after the presentation on the podium?

 

[biggs682]

I also thought the in team rivalry was crazy just a shame other teams are not so close to Mercedes but overall it was better than it could have been.

The new rules have really spread the grid out , everyone below 4th was lapped at least once.
