Pierrrrrreeeeeee Gassssssslyyyyyyyyyy! Ok, so it was the typical Red Bull domination, Max finishes number one, but....only 3.7 seconds ahead of Alonso?? Ok, still a mammoth amount of time between first and second, but at least the gap (with the help of safety cars) is getting smaller...I think. But who could have guessed Gasly would be on the podium? Qualified and started in 12th, and took advantage of numerous slip ups by other teams, safety cars and yeah, P3. It was just that kind of race. Similar to qualifying, and absolute mixed bag of craziness. Weather, poor race strategies, mechanical failures (seriously will Ferrari ever get their act together, sorry Charles) and the Dutch crowd going crazy throughout. Who got it wrong the most? Mercedes. Just an utter clust f*ck of a weekend for them, and albeit Hamilton finished a respectable and hard fought 6th (from starting back in 13th), poor George started in 3rd, and basically finished last (not entirely his fault of course) While it wasn't the most ideal track for the Merc team, it for sure wasn't their worst track of the season, and they could definitely have been more in the points. Aston Martin has got them looking over their shoulders even more now...



Who to watch for the Italian Grand Prix: Albon, Albon, Albon. It won't be his race to win, but this kid is impressing pretty much all season. Who do I want to win? Anyone else but Verstappen.
