lol Stroll. Retire Massa. There is a point where my liking for Alonso starts to dim, killing a battle for first to get a bit of attention is well out of order no matter who you are. The bird? Why sky? lol Jollyon.

perhaps your American television was on an advert break when Max was a car length behind Lewis and about to attempt an overtake until Nando deliberately sandwiched himself between them - that's what the investigation is about.

Way more than a car length. Alonso was well off the line then moved back to it to make the next corner.

That's not how it looked from Max's onboard. Fact is both Fernando and Massa let Lewis right past and then held up Max. Neither one of those drivers want Seb winning Ferrari WDC, even if it means another Lewis WDC (which is saying something). It's a bit naive to think that they wouldn't push the blue flag rules to the limit to hold up a driver potentially attacking his first place.

Alonso got a reprimand for his Verstappen stunt, you drive a piece of poo poo Nando act like it. Maybe next year you can actually fight for positions.

This was a poo poo race and arrivabene should be ashamed for his teams treatment of Vettel.

I'm so glad NBC is losing their rights. Endless commercials and Matchett and Hobbs offer the same level of insight as watching the race with your grandpa. They are literally just staring at a TV screen like I am and exclaiming 'Oh Dear!' when something happens.

It's funny in Australia ten/one lost their rights instantly about a month ago. They went into receivership and it was found out they owed about $20million for F1 rights, so coverage was immediately stopped. (They used to do the C4 coverage, and only a certain amount of races live with the rest being monday night highlights).
E: but somehow even though they aren't paying, it's part of the contract next year they get to cover the Melbourne race - no FTA cover here means no Melbourne race allowed, so I wonder what's going to happen.

I don't think it's no Melbourne Race allowed, I think your choice is "put it on FTA or don't bother selling the rights to an Australian broadcaster".

Ahh, OK. But that means no pay TV can broadcast F1 for the whole season then. Doesn't Fox have it here? So they lose the whole F1 season if no FTA station can show Melbourne? I wonder who will be able to pick it up then.

AFAIK only the Australian GP comes under anti-siphoning laws (free TV before pay TV), the other GP's dont. If 10 didnt show it, another channel could buy it for one dollar because fox needs it to be on free tv

If you want to see FI, haas and renault tripping over themselves, and williams doing bad. Otherwise no.

I think my favourite part of that race was Perez saying "Can I try overtaking Ocon?" and the team radio coming back with "No."

Instead, one too many blows to the head in an ill-fitting bin helmet have pushed you right past that level and firmly into Tifosi territory.
