Mazepin takes out Latifi, you go spin wizard!

Mick Schumacher, LOL. Yellow flags, while trying to keep his tires warm, he crashes just after the pit lane, has to do a whole lap to get into the pits, but his debris outside the pit exit means the pit lane is closed. Has to go around at least once more.

Bottas lapped by Verstappen before the half-way point of the race.

Hamilton mistake, goes off into the gravel and drops to 6th or worse.

Bottas and Russell crash into each other and both are out.

Should now be an easy win for Max.

Heaps of debris all over the track. Red flag now.

I don't understand how the teams don't know the rules. Completely unforced errors for Perez and Verstappen.

Mercedes junior driver Russell actually wrecked both Mercedes lol by forcing Lewis onto the wet part of the track to pass and wrecking out Bottas.

Russell is justified after what Mercedes did to him in Bahrain last year.

About to restart the race, 29 of 63 laps remaining.

Hamilton: qualified 1st, currently 8th
Tsunoda: qualified 20th, currently 9th

Max half-spins on the warm-up lap!

Wow, Bottas crashing out ends up being a huge positive for Mercedes. Hamilton's race was ****ed, but he gets a free pit and then gets to unlap himself due to the red and uses that to get 2nd (would've been about 7th otherwise). Bottas was having a crap race and was gonna finish around 6th himself. A sacrifice I'm sure Mercedes would be happy to make.

Sucks for Max, could've opened up a bit of a championship lead over Lewis.

Mazepin in last place spins with 2 laps remaining but remains in the race.

Max wins, Lewis with an impressive 2nd after the restart.

Norris gets the 2nd podium of his career.

EDIT: spin site has been updated already! http://mazesp.in

What was the error from verstappen?

Ah crap, meant Vettel.

For those that didn't watch the full race.

Perez = spun on a safety car lap and was passed by 2 cars, and then immediately passed the 2 cars back. The announcers knew right away that you're not allowed to re-pass those cars, but Perez stayed where he was and was eventually given a 10-second penalty stop. Seems like a spot where the team should know to give those spots back.

Vettel = started the race from pit lane and apparently you need to leave the car out and remove all equipment for at least 5 minutes before the race starts. His team didn't, and he got hit with a penalty.

Both were completely silly penalties that could have easily been avoided by both teams.

Mazespin has to be driver of the week, no?

After 5 spins in week 1, he cut that down to 3 spins in week 2 and finished the race! Well done lad

for vettel: either you keep working and get to actually start the race (and take the penelty), or you stop working, cant take the start, lose laps, and finish the repairs while the race is running (avoiding a penelty). they made the correct decision; you have to fix the car in order to actually race.

IndyCar looks interesting. Are Sebastien Grosjean or Jimmie Johnson expected to contend for wins?

hey, anyone who likes f1 should at least try indycar, imo. dont forget is "romain", lol. GRO looked awesome in quali yesterday. considering his team, very impressive. JJ does not have the class in this type of car to compete with this field. he will be fighting to not be last place every race.

i missed the race due to watching f1 and forgetting the start time. now i have to figure out how to find a replay without getting the result spoiled.

Ferrari and Alfa looked better as Imola is a relatively low speed circuit.

I know another thread has been started but I'd be surprised if Jimmie Johnson sees out the year.

i started it lol! it was your response on here that prompted it. i hope people who love motorsport around the world give indycar a try (not sure the broadcast situation everywhere of course). two good races already this season.

jimmy will for certain finish the year. this was expected of him, at least from me. he is bringing a ton of eyeballs to his sponsor. he is learning. i doubt he will ever be competitive, but also he is not last, which easily could have happened. i didnt realize just how bad kellett is.

Formula1 will be running three sprint races this year as a test. Always interesting to see some experimenting. Unfortunately, they are doing it in a year that there appears to be a real competition for the title. They should have done that before, when it was all Hamilton/Mercedes.

I watched the Formula E race on Saturday. Max lols when half the field ran out of battery on the last lap.

At least the batteries last the entire race in theory now. First season when they did a pit stop they would change cars instead of tires.

Thought it was funny that in formula E for some time the most important part to improve was the seatbelt so you could switch cars faster and that teams cheated with their seatbelts.

A difference between Edmonton and Montreal is Edmonton takes a quarter of a second longer when they decide to take a shot. It seems to make a big difference. Any longer and the defender would be on it.

Playing only Canadian teams this year, there still is one missing team. It just wont be complete without them.

They need to give the Jets a couple more games each year against each Canadian team.
