    I wasn't accounting for McLaren shooting themselves in the foot. Although it's always tricky for the front runner to pit that early. Why is it always Max who is in 2nd and benefits from the SC (early and late!!!!)

    The Rugby World Cup draw couldn't have gone better for England. Not only did they draw a nice group (Zimbabwe, Tonga and Wales) they are on the opposite side of the draw to South Africa, New Zealand and France.

    Makes it more annoying England didn’t get to play the Boks in the AI’s just gone. Now we have to wait until the World Cup Final at the earliest!

    Tsunoda and Hadjar to be detailed to time their pit stops (or stay out) so as to be able to accidentally on purpose crash with each of Norris and Piastri.
    Verstappen to cruise to victory until Lewis Hamilton, now two laps down, takes Max out in a futile attempt to retain his track position.








    Either that or Lance Stroll somehow takes our all three of the contenders in one to

    I tend to agree.


    Assuming they all get through lap 1, there’s no reason for Norris to attack.

    We could do with Norris having a minor incident which drops him right down and then having to try and fight back to third.

    I think Max will win today but it's hard to see Norris not getting a podium.

    I really hope it doesn't get decided by team orders though.
