Vettels father crying and hugging his son on German tv is so wholesome.

Noone can make it anymore without millionaire parents in F1, hes the last of his breed, a time ends today.

Hes a working class guy that works his ass off to give his son a opportunity to compete in a sports that requires millions, he probably lived a very poor live for 15 years and there was no guarantee his son will make it in the F1, yet he put his own needs back for the sake of his family, that is a true father and I am glad it worked out for the man, regardless what I think about his son.

A red bull-person who worked with both Vettel and Verstappen said Vettel is extremely hard working (in a Schumacher way, taking notes in the paddock and that kind of stuff), Verstappen is less hard working but has more natural talent.

By far the best qualifying session so far this season. Simply amazing. (Speaking of Monaco)

Verstappen and Alonso compared to each other

Ferrari doesn't have a spotter... Only at Ferrari.

“In fact, the stewards observed that Leclerc reacted in a sensible way to a blue flag displayed by the marshals, but at this point it was too late. However, the stewards reviewed team radio, and Leclerc’s team failed to give him any warning about Norris’ approach until Norris was already directly behind him."

Hamilton vs Leclerc in Ferrari next year will be very interesting to see. I am excited about 2025 for that reason. My friend claims "Leclerc will beat Hamilton easily" but I'm not sure about that (he's much more obsessed with F1 than I am, he knows f1 better than me)

In 2026 there will be huge regulation changes, so that will be interesting year too. 2024 might be another boring season with red bull domination (I hope it won't be)

Many people said Hamilton won because he had the best car and at the moment he didn't have the best car, he looses.

Champions almost always have the best car on the grid. The pity is in many seasons there was no competition. Seeing Hamilton vs Alonso in between the 2013-2020 era would have been interesting, but Alonso never had a good car. What happened to Hamilton is now happening to Verstappen: they win without anyone challenging them.
