Todays Games

Red Bulls got an upgrade which made them competitive. Add that to Piastri completely losing it in that period letting Norris take a clear lead in the Championship and Verstappen has hunted them down.

Today he was fortunate to see them both disqualified so he's in striking distance but Norris f*cked up the first turn today to show how much Verstappen is getting into his head. The last two races are at tracks that usually favour the McLarens but Verstappen has the skill to outgun them. As long as Norris avoids crashing he should still take the title...

 

I actually quite enjoy the FI coverage on Sky. There's a discussion to be had about whether football teams 'playing properly' is more or less boring than F1.

 

I used to really enjoy F1 and still have huge respect for the drivers and engineers. They are insanely good at their jobs which are very difficult. I’m glad it’s much safer than it used to be, but it’s lost something over the years.

Where does this ‘playing properly’ trope come from.
