That will do!

If you missed it, Austria was enjoyable.

Today was pretty good too. F1 might have become interesting again.

Today F1 was like it was 3 years ago. Let’s hope it continues that way.

Best race for ages. The Rain made the race and mixed it all up.

[olive]

Agreed. Bodes well for the rest of the season.

[El Cid]

More upgrades coming. Now James Allison is back things seem to have got a lot better.

Top notch performance from Mercedes today and very comforting to see Baby boy Max handed his ar5e on a plate, I can't wait for a major strop in the Red Bull enclosure and I'm wondering whom he'll blame this time!

[Manchesteral]

Be interesting to see what happens this weekend now that Red Bull are not able to cheat, hopefully Verstrapon will be eating dust!

[Manchesteral]

Anything outlandish about to happen at Monza?

3 to one Verstappen to win at Monza, how times change although Evens Norris is very poor value.

Ha ha, Red Bulls chickens are coming home to roost!

I have said for three years now that Red Bull are cheating and now that they have been exposed they're crying!

Max Verstappen is nothing more than a mediocre driver who got lucky and cheated a lot and I'm glad he's being humbled!

Now all we need is mighty mouth Jos to be banned from the paddock, he is becoming a liability!

I have also said they are cheating and I think FIA have said you cant win another title with this car. A car cant go from being so dominant to so bad in a few races. Love Lando to pip him for the title. F1 needs a few new winners.

I think its a bit like Mclaren stealing Ferrari data in 2007 when Lewis was nailed on for the title and he crashed going into the pits in China, I said at the time the FIA have said we dont care how you do it but he cant win this year, drivers like Lewis do not crash into gravel traps in the dry entering the pits.

Bearman for Magnusson seat at Baku?

Liam Lawson?

Or more likely maybe Red Bull reached the limits of their advancement and the others have caught up and overtaken them.
Max Verstappen qualifing time in Monza 2023 was slower than than last week's race but he started 2nd Even though he acheived a slightly faster time for last weeks race he started 7th.

I know other things have to be taken into account but I think that's the most likely reason.

I dont think so. Impossible to have 1 car so far ahead of the others for 2.5 seasons.

[markwilding]

True, provided we don't include Shcumacher in a Farrari ( 5 years), Mercedes winning 7 years on the trot and the fact that red bull's recent dominance has been rather less at just over 3 years.

Don't don't get me wrong I too hope that Norris can catch Verstappen but Hamilton having to crash his car to please the FAI sounds much more far fetched. There are many theories why it happened but more likely, it was a young driver making a mistake in a high preasure race even if Maclaren do deny this.
