    Lewis seems very happy with the latest upgrade (the floor I believe). He certainly was the second quickest man all weekend.

    Yeah, we just have to hope that RBR somehow have cocked up any development on next year's car. Would be great to see Max, Lewis, Lando and Charles all competing properly next year.

    Lewis Hamilton was disqualified from second place in the US Grand Prix after running Max Verstappen's Red Bull close for victory.

    Hamilton was just two seconds behind Verstappen at the flag but his car was later declared illegal for excessive wear on the underfloor skid blocks.

    Ferrari's Charles Leclerc suffered the same fate after finishing sixth.

    Hamilton's disqualification promoted McLaren's Lando Norris to second and Ferrari's Carlos Sainz to third.

    Wow Vikes upset the 49ers. And really it should have been a lot more comfortable with Joseph missing an XP and a FG. Cousins, Addison and the defence outstanding and all of a sudden the season has taken a huge turn. Shout out to the offensive line as well. Cousins didn't get sacked once.

    Wow. Ferrari 1-2 in Mexico. Shame they’ll still come sixth and eighth in the race.

    The judges scorecards were so dodgy! Fury looked like he'd been on the beak. Thought Ngannou won that hands down. Incredible.

    Crooked. The Saudis wouldn’t risk their Fury-Usyk sportswashing event by handing Fury his first L.

    Eyes all over the shop, rubbing his nose constantly. Honestly, was like he'd had a proper night out the previous evening.

    Absolute joke of a result but I am just not shocked anymore because there seem to be so many dodgy decisions these days (rigged fights!?)

    Francis Ngannou deserved the win. He was brilliant and boxed like a seasoned pro against the champion of the world! I cannot believe what I just saw.

    Yeah, Ngannou looked the real deal. Definitely one of Fury's hardest ever fights, but he just looked woefully underprepared.

    I just can’t for the life of me understand the decision, other than corruption / making sure there is money for the Usyk fight.

    there are always questionable decisions in boxing… but Fury barely landed anything all night. This was more than questionable

    For a mega fight between Usyk v Fury.

    4 games this season against the Packers and Bears is going to cost the Vikings a high pick in the draft

    Vikings season took a u-turn on Monday night IMO. Huge win over the 49ers. Now they have Packers, Falcons, Saints, Broncos, Bears before a bye week. They could easily win all those games. Particularly with this Flores defence.
