I don't agree with a clear cut Hamilton penalty.
Max turned in when he knew full well that Lewis was inside him, albeit a diminishing overlap.

It needed both to comply to get through there side by side, neither did. I'd lean into 'racing incident' category, but if the stewards had to make a decision it probably did err more so to Lewis.

Please swap out #6 for #17 for The Arrow Motorsport.

What a time to make this trade .
Thanks for getting the hoodoo off him, Arrow .

Waters and SVG certainly put a show on. Great racing this past fortnight.
Seems 888 just had a week leg up on everyone, coming out of the box fast has its rewards.

Stewards were consistent too, handing Slade a penalty for feeding Fullwood into the weeds ala SVG on Kostecki.

I thought Kostecki was going to cause a massive pile up on the first lap.
Well done to everyone around him to notice it.

Well no symptoms didn't last long.
Vomiting all night, hot and cold fevers, shakes, chills and not one wink of sleep.
Feel like absolute crap today - aches and pains, headache...

Take a seat on the couch and enjoy the racing, LG.
Your boys are doing well!

You'd know I spent a little time in the US a few years back, Mike. To think we were once merely 3 hours apart at one stage.
Went for a swim in Lake Michigan (Chicago side) late May... certainly got the nipples hard.

I remember that time period.  You were in Nebraska, right?  We never hooked up.  A scar I bear in my motorsport history.

Just a little town called Manhattan... Kansas...

Well, this is just MY opinion, but once you get West of the Mississippi River and into the plains, you can start in Kansas and make the big circle - Oklahoma, Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Wyoming....... and without state border markings you'd swear you never left Kansas.  But I'll tip my cap the folks out that way.  That is where the crops are grown and harvested.  The backbone of the country.

Can't disagree with you. Did the road trip from Kansas to Denver a few times, and later on Kansas to Chicago.

Makes for great windmill spotting.

The Mustang is still a sharp tool.
Shorter race will suit the guys at the front too.

Tip of the hat to Goddard. A Courtney style, grab it by the balls lap. Ended in Courtney fashion too. Makes for great watching, though.

What an opening series of laps.

Agree. The comparison between cars in the 90's and 00's to now are crazy. Those cars were 2/3 of the size.

I don't condone it. I like that F1 are looking at new things.

Looks like the Saturday race will be delayed to suit the shuffle of NRL games in Townsville.

The McLaughlin/Perkins car on far left is a rare one.

Schedule released: 39 laps on Saturday, 2x 39 laps on Sunday

Is Jamie just throwing some off the scent?

Or is Bamber a real chance?
Brown certainly put his hand up (even though locked in at Erebus), and Feeney is doing himself big favours in Super2.
