Just finished watching the replay. Here's my expert summary and main takeaways

- o poo poo its the PM
- red flag quick draw, lol Sainz
- Cristiano Ronaldo is Tsunoda’s hero

- lewis vs alonso vs seb battle of the ages aged
- Ban crofty
- Crofty, shut the gently caress up
- Ocon vs. lewis best battle of the race (LeWiS Is bAcK)
- "One Thirty Are"

- LMAO charles, lmao wdc mid-interview, wining by 'rules', peak formula 1
- mid-field continues to be the most entertaining part of this sport (other than watching teams spectacularly implode e.g. Ferrari)

I woke up and there's already a highlight video for the Japanese GP. I saw an article on my phone saying something about Max winning the championship at a shortened race. I start to watch the highlights. Lap 1 and the track is soaked.... I'm gonna have to actually watch the full replay of this race and that's loving bullshit because I hate this sport.

Max is going to win every WDC until he retires at 40.

Does suck though that the championship ended up so lopsided. At the beginning Leclerc was neck and neck with Max.

The most FIA thing would be for an announcement in 4 hours that max isn't actually WDC

Followed by another announcement tomorrow that Red Bull really did break the spending cap and he's been stripped of last year's title too.

Yeah I'm not really sure what the FIA are going to do with the cost cap. "Oh you only went slightly over, never mind" is just license for teams to take the piss knowing that there are no consequences.

I thought the idea was that if you go over by a bit your only punishment is that next year’s cap for you is now (normal amount - your overage) and only large or repeated infringements would be punished by other means.

1. Sharl goofed and got a penalty 2. due to an extremely close reading of how the regulations are formatted, this race - suspended for a long period of time and then re-started and not run to complete distance - still gave full points.

it's both convenient and probably very nice for people at Honda to have won a title at Suzuka, but even if it hadn't happened here, Max was going to clinch it in COTA or Mexico City. Red Bull will probably confirm the constructor's championship soon too.

What did you say the strategy was?
Max winning the championship was inevitable once Ferrari started aggressively loving themselves up

Yeah, max winning wdc is inevitable, how it happened today wasn’t necessary and pretty underwhelming but eh, maybe next year..

Yeah, first couple races Charles was ahead and it looked like Ferrari had nailed the new regs.

But the current season is mostly over and they still haven't announced penalties if any for last year. They may have broke cap again this year (and probably did or will by the end) for all we know. Maybe they lose budget for 2023, but it will all be ignored by then if this is how it works

BTCC championship is about to be decided by an actual race at the end of the season instead of nonsense, but if its anything like the rest of the day racing at Brands it'll be a red flag/safety car mess

e: 3rd lap safety car ffs 😑

e: and an upside down car on the final lap, classic BTCC

That just made it more exciting. Next year they should have active construction crews on the track changing the layout mid race.
