For some reason they weren't playing the replay of Gasly nearly smashing into a random tractor on the circuit just hanging out. Sorry if I'm late to the party but been watching his onboard since his pit and it caught me off guard.

Alonso commenting on Lance's overtake confused me: how could he have known that?

Ferrari were fined $100k for this simple podium swap on this day 20 years ago.

If you think Ferrari don't care about Vettel, just remember in 2012 at the USGP when Massa outqualified Nando so Ferrari broke Massa's gearbox seal on purpose to trigger his 5 place grid penalty.

- Score more than 2x every driver, less Hill.

Biggest takeaway for me is the fact that ZERO mistakes can be made if you want to win this year.

By the letter of the regulations, IMO, that’s a penalty. But it’ll likely be called 1st lap incident.
