It's not been a great year for racing in general, unfortunately. That said a three-way title battle in the final race could go someway to salvaging it.
IndyCar was god awful this season. Really hoping the 2026 season has more to give. I haven't been able to devote myself to F1 as much as I'd like this year. Life has just been too full, but it's shaping up to be a close finish for the drivers championship at least.
Since 2014 every season been pretty boring baring 2021 and 2016 maybe, bring back the v10s or at least v8s.
Great drive from Norris I thought, it’s interesting that without the engine blowup he’d be leading Oscar now (even more so without Canada). It’s a shame in a way that Leclerc jumped him at the start, it would have been interesting to see the McLaren and RedBull go head to head, as we’ve no idea what extra if anything Max had today. Mexico should be close between them again, so maybe next week. Leclerc and Tsunoda also had good races I thought. Did I hear correctly that by going 19 races without a podium, Hamilton has set a new record as the Ferrari driver with the longest wait for one? That’s a shocking stat if true.

Having now competed in 19 races since his Ferrari debut without a Grand Prix podium, he has gone the longest time without a top three finish of any Ferrari driver in Formula One history.
