    Well, all hopes smashed.

    Same old procession. I don’t even know how the driver can enjoy this. God awful.

    Thank **** that’s over.

    Is it a case of see you in 2026?

    23 seconds clear of the next team and could have been whatever he wanted really- even McLaren level upgrades will struggle to catch that?

    Seems to be as I feared, even worse than last season. And they still have a big upgrades to come.

    Yep- as feared- they compromised massively yesterday so still got pole whilst setting the car up to destroy everyone in the race.

    They really have to do something with the rules for 2025.

    I know they can't bring forward the big changes but at least take lumps out of the floor or something like they did in '21 and pray

    I am not going to waste my time, better things to do with 2 hours on a Sunday. Very disappointed that the other teams can't catch RB.

    I don't know what to think anymore, but watching an F1 season here means a lot of late nights or early mornings, and I don't think I can do it anymore.

    So many seasons with very little competition. Occasionally we get a cracker mixed in with the guff, a bit like finding the toy hidden in the Rice Krispies, but sadly no more toys it seems. :(

    The 9th dominant season out of the last 12 and that's with me being fairly generous towards how close 2017 and 2018 actually were.

    The real fools are us going into every pre-season thinking "maybe this time.."
