I think Bottas is out at the end of the season. If he wasn't, then his refusal to move out of the way, and the expression on Toto's face, says it all.
Hamilton doesn't mind a fight. Bring it on, Russell would make a great pairing.

Monaco tomorrow is genuinely difficult to predict. The Ferraris are right up there with Sainz almost pipping Verstappen in FP3, which is good to see. All the lead drivers have swapped positions in the three free practice sessions. As always with Monaco, so much depends on pole position in qualy later today.

Well that was the single most boring race i have ever seen.
Not a single overtake other than mick schumacher on mazepin. Predictably.
The only talking points will be who ballsed up on strategy and by how much.
Monaco is a bloody joke. Get it off the calendar

Quite random here but I watch a ton of videos on Koenigsegg but never catch any mention of racing, unless it's a race car driver coming in to test drive.
Is anyone interested in Koenigsegg and know their story of the CCGT vehicle that they almost were allowed to race at Le Mans?

I know a bit about them and their remarkably efficient engine design. For a small company they have achieved much. I'm sure McLaren consider themselves to be in the same high end market but their cars are lamentably unreliable in comparison. www.koenigsegg.com/innovations/600bhp from a 2.0l 3-cylinder engine is remarkable enough. Add in the electric motors and the car has more than 1100bhp. |

I got it wrong, it has 1700bhp total. Crazy power for a road car. 0-60 in 2.0s.
