I made the mistake of watching the Moto GP race before the Austrian GP. The MotoGP race was so good it made a decent F1 race appear to be rather average.

Just thought I’d correct this. Kurt, not Kyle, is Kevin Harvick’s teammate

You still have him listed as a Stewart-Haas driver. Kyle drives for Joe Gibbs Racing.

Don’t forget, George Russell (Mercedes F1 reserve driver) has overtaken Lando Norris (McLaren F1 protégé) in the Formula 2 championship after winning the feature race and coming 2nd in the sprint race in Austria this weekend. It’s the first time this season Norris hasn’t topped the rankings. Russell also won the previous feature race so he seems to have found his groove in the series. He’s a rookie but is the reigning GP3 champion. He might ‘do a Leclerc’ and win both titles in consecutive seasons.

The #DutchGP was so good, that I forgot all the #F1 races of the decade.
BTW, It was rated 9.7/10 the best and just ahead of the 2016 Australian GP (9.5) 👏🏻👏🏻

There was an amusing remark to be made about that Super GT race in Thailand, the Le Mans 24 Hours and two Toyota drivers. After making the pit blunder that ended the fight for victory in France two weeks ago, Kamui Kobayashi benefitted from a fuel blunder by Team TOM’S. The car co-driven by Kazuki Nakajima stopped on the final lap, letting SARD off the hook…
