I don't regret staying up to 2:30 AM to watch it.  It was a good race, and all them starts made is extra exciting.  The penalty on Sainz was BS though.

 

And yes F1 is a bit more spread out.  I'll miss the next race cause I'm not waking up at 6 AM on a Sunday.

Wish 8 cars didn’t have to wreck for Hass to get points. Crazy start and finish to the Australian race.

Also wish Hass was the underdog taking podiums and not Aston Martin. But two races in a row with a point is good for Guenther’s job security I guess. I love him on Drive to Survive. Even if he wasn’t Principal of the lone American owned team, I’d still like him the most I think.

Doesn’t look like the budget cap is doing anything for parity as Red Bull once again looks like far and away the best. Kind of boring in that regard. I can’t get into competition for 4th best.

Is the season always this spread out? It’s a month break before the next race and there’s only been 3 races. Let’s go already.

I haven't finished the Australian GP yet, but I already saw my least favorite drive won, blah.  

 

Unfortunately the dominance happens sometimes in F1,  and unfortunately RB still looks to be at the top.   Mercedes has improved a bit already and Aston Martin looks to be much improved this year as well whether those 2 teams or Ferrari (don't hold your breath) can challenge Red Bull remains to be seen.

 

In regards to the season, they always have the long summer break in August where they are off for a month.  It's kind of unusual for the long break early in the season (usually it's only 2 or 3 weeks), but on the flip side it gives the teams time to work on and implement upgrades to the team cars.

The China GP originally scheduled for April 16th was canceled due to Covid, so that explains the longer break.

This coming weekend was supposed to be the start of racing for the next 3 weeks in a row, but due to extreme flooding the Italian GP has been cancelled.

Monaco this weekend!  I would love to go see this race one time!

DeVries out at Alpha Tauri,  Daniel Riccardo in.   Alpha Tauri is the B team to Red Bull.  Riccardo has recently mentioned that he would like to finish his career where he started back at Red Bull. Having said that, Horner wasn't going to just give him a spot again at RB so he here we are.  This will put even more pressure on Perez who has looked very shaky for over a month.

2 Haas and 0 Red Bulls qualify top-10? What is this, opposite day?

Good showing for them! I even was able to watch Q2 and Q3. Not a fan of Max at all so I love seeing him miss out on Q3. Ferrari's have really come on lately aa has Norris. Tomorrow's race looks wide open and for once we could get a non Red Bull win

Their straight line speed is so dominant, I thought the new track dimensions would favor Red Bull even more.

Watching George crash into the wall on the last lap was the greatest thing this season.  Carlos winning was just icing on the cake.

That was a very exciting race!

I was drunk last night and parlayed Carlos to win with ravens +3
