I felt such a sense of relief, of joy when Verstappen's car started smoking
Nice to see Sainz win, especially with nowhere to go next year.
Read the tea leaves.
• Audi announced last week that they are purchasing a 100% stake in the Sauber ('26 Audi) F1 team, up from their original 50%
• The CEO of Sauber is former McLaren Team Principal Andres Sedis - left McLaren to build/run the future Audi team
• Sainz Jr. raced for Sedis at McLaren for 2 years
• Sainz Sr. drove in Dakar for VW for 6 years and for Audi in an e-tron entry for the last 3 years.
• Sanz Sr. is an advisor to Jr's manager Carlo Onorio and sits in on contract negotiations.

I would be very surprised if Sainz did not find a new seat for 2025

Max Verstappen while underway at the 2024 Monaco GP: "“**** me, this is boring. Should've brought my pillow.”"
A race course that doesn't allow passing isn't ideal no matter how much history it has.
It's a parade now. Telling drivers to go slower because there is no point being close to the car ahead does not have good optics, not create excitement for your race.
I think it would have been better if talks had fallen through and Monaco was lost to history.
But how would all the rich show off their yachts and be seen?
Come on. Think of the trust fund babies.
I'm not saying ditch Monaco but do try to make it a race. Narrower future f1 cars, come up with a legitimate passing zone, etc.
And the cars will be shorter/narrower/lighter after '25, which should improve the show a bit.
At least before the MGU-H era the cars were entertaining to listen to go down the straight and through the tunnel. And occasionally one of the drivers would lose their mind at the prospect of circling around for an hour and try something really stupid. I guess the real problem with this is one is that we cashed in the stupid way too early

That was a great race. I don't usually watch F1 but it was a ****** weather day at the trailer and CGP came in with an amazing signal. Very entertaining. Still not sure how I fell about DRS and KERS. On one hand it's like somebody thought it would be fun to put some arcadey video game **** into F1 cars. On the other hand it adds extra strategic elements, I guess.
How do you guys feel about those things?
