Not only that, but we’re also about to lose the French GP. You know, the country where motorsports and Formula One as a concept began.

As someone who’s generally been more critical than most of Lewis’ past success, I honestly don’t see how he’s being outclassed by George. Lewis has been incredibly unlucky with safety-cars/pit stops this season. He would’ve been 6th (one position behind Russell) in Saudi-Arabia without the poorly timed safety car, and…

He joined Mercedes when they were still mid-field, leaving the best team at the time, winning a championship with McLaren, everyone told him he was making a mistake. But he and Mercedes climbed to the top including 6 driver’s championships together.

Agreed. ‘Greatest’ is largely subjective and can entail categories that don’t have a lot to do with racing, such as personality.

They’re definitely closer, but the safetycar for Vettel mid-race bunched the field up again. Otherwise we would’ve seen cars getting lapped.

No, he completed his last lap on-track. He pitted on the penultimate lap.

This. He’s incredible, but it’s terrifying to watch him ride sometimes. Those injuries add up, and the recurring double vision issues are downright scary. I really hope he starts thinking about his long term health at some point.

Dominicali never said they are aiming to go to 30. He was talking about how there’s serious interest from about 30 promoters now, which means they need a strategy for the future on how to deal with this.

This. I totally understand that F1 is excited to finally get some sort of traction in a market that they’ve been gunning for for decades, but some caution is warranted here. Between the DTS nonsense and 2021 being an epic season, it’s still to be seen if the popularity will stick in US. By virtue of adding more races,…

F1's summer break is 4 weeks. That’s one week longer than several of Indycar gaps between races, which starts off the season with race-three week break-race-three week break-race-three week break-race.

Ironically, it’s the corners he struggles with.

You’d be wrong

To be fair, he also has more career points than Mick Schumacher.

True, and I really expect them to be in the mix with Williams, Alfa and perhaps even a few others.

That’s exactly what I just did.

Honestly, the midfield (can we call it that when it’s actually all teams behind the top 4?) seems so close that it looks like it’s totally impossible to make any sort of educated guess on the actual order there. Having said that, Aston Martin is the one team where I really, really don’t have a clue as to where they…

I think that went out the window the moment Ferrari announced Leclerc would replace Raikkonen.

Correct. I don’t see how that solves the track limit issue.

Oh, no argument there. You’re totally right.

Now, if you can define ‘forced out’ then we’re getting somewhere.
