Just thinking about what to do with all the money I don't have.
Watched my first MotoGP race, and know nothing about it. That being said, my new favorite rider is Aleix Espargaro simply for the reason that when the announcers say his name it sounds like "Hellacious Bargaro", and I think that's hilarious because I'm 14.

Was a fun watch; I'd do it again.

I would have liked them to go for Max, but of course I am not entirely objective. I think ten points from Max have been thrown away here. Especially with the two retirements we've had, we need every point. Don't forget that Ferrari currently has a better car, especially in qualifying.

Checo's only 15 points off Max in the WDC. Sure would be a shame if Max were to suffer an unfortunate accident at Baku like he did last year...

Now add back the points the SC at Jeddah and the team at Barcelona took off him...

Hamilton to Ferrari to make racist Tifosi explode like a robot in Star Trek when given a logical paradox. Also because red would suit him.

2 problems with this list

1) It should be Russell / Norris not Norris / Russell.
2) The only Schumacher qualified to drive in F1 is a vegetable.

Welcome to a series with actual racing in it. Check out MotoGP unlimited on Prime Video which follows last season, in a not very dramatic fashion (so not at all like DTS).

Mick needs to go. He has a good last name and not much talent.
Danny needs to go. He's been mailing in the effort this year.
Everyone associated with Aston Martin needs to go.
Latifi never should have been here in the first place.
I think Mick is fine tbh. He's cursed with his name so the expectations of him are really high, but if you think about this as his rookie year in F1 (which you kind of can given that last year's Haas was basically a bigger F2 car), then he's doing fine.

Danny's problem is that he's a very "seat of the pants driver" and has only ever been successful in cars with a ton of downforce that have very sharp handling. The Renault wasn't like that (when it wasn't on fire), and the McLaren isn't like that. For Danny to be successful he has to put the work in to look at the data and start adapting his driving style. That's probably never going to happen because he seems to be thick as pig poo poo. So yeah McLaren should bin him and get Pato O'Ward, or make a deal with Alpine and get Piastri or something.

Good parts of Aston Martin:
- Seb
- The livery
- Their constant cheating hijinks

If Latifi goes, who will pay Rebus's salary?

And you know that no one reads Jos’s blog on Max’s website unless people link to it. I’m surprised it’s not 100% clickbait.

For the criticism that Ricciardo gets (and deserves), I can't help but remember that he won a race when he had the chance, whereas Lando choked it away beyond belief. It's obvious that he needs to improve but it's equally obvious that it's valuable to have a more experienced driver on the team. I'm not sure I'd be super confident in a driver pairing of Lando and Piastri, or especially Lando and O'Ward (he's super good but I am very wary of people coming straight from IndyCar), until Lando is a little more mature. What I'm saying is that they should bring back Alonso.
