That content is coming. Including the videos of me enjoying myself after a few sambucas and tequilas. And the aftermath of the aforementioned shots... that poor hotel bin...
Great coverage as usual. I was heartbroken to see how Kimi and Geo went out, and that they retired Perez for ‘reliability issues’ after that monster drive.
Though honestly I’m split on the Liberty Media issue, like any sport in the modern era it needs to be good telly to sell, i.e. it’s expensive and the money has to come from somewhere more than just ticket sales. And like it or not I think we are seeing that they are broadening the fan base.
Now that being said I agree that the application of that should be more like rules changes to make the field closer and naturally more dramatic rather than stewards potentially skewing races for better TV. As with any competitive sport the rules have to be consistently applied otherwise it’s more like a scripted boxing match than an actual hockey game (shush I’m Canadian, read Football if you’re South of the border🏈 or across the pond⚽️).
Pulling for the Sauber/Alfa/Bottas/Zhou for the underdog constructor and drivers win in 2022!!!!
I wanted Kimi to have a proper goodbye race, a final display of Kimi on track. I was most let down by Gio's goodbye. There is a photo from Kym Illman that really sums it up, Gio walking off with a hand raised waving behind...
Thanks for mentioning Sergio’s retirement! What on earth were the reliability reasons?!? The car was done after that race, and he had only a handful of laps left! Seems it was a podium gift to Sainz, but I just want to know. He deserved to see...
I don’t think cars should be able to unlap themselves. All the work done to build an advantage is then ripped away and the result is still manufactured.

Okay cool. Now post a photo of you the morning after heavily drinking in a hotel bar.
