Verstappen started final lap with 6 seconds to spare, then aborted just after crossing start finish line, doesn't say anything on the radio, nor does he gets told a thing, not even where cars are around him. strange
Saw that. Very weird

This budget cap is the single best thing that’s ever happened to F1 as a sport
I've been thinking about this. Surely with Aston being so close to the top 3 is even scarier. As they have even more wind tunnel runs and CFD so surely they will be able to develop much more than Merc, Fer and RB until the mid season point right?
Yes, it’s scary.
Standby for fireworks for the next few years. May they become F1 classics. And we are here for it 🍿

I do not disagree, but I'm curious to see what we think in 2-3 more years time. Last year felt close at first but it wasn't. Times are close but...lets see if a team can emerge in a few races with a clear advantage. It doesn't have to be a big advantage to win out most of the season.
I don't find an issue with a team emerging with a clear advantage if everyone has a good chance at being that 1 team. the problem before was that it was never someone outside of merc/fer/rb
True. Only team I can think that had similar flourishes since Brawn would be McLaren and Lotus????

Didn’t Pirelli say the tire was 1.5 seconds faster? These laptimes are mediocre. Is it the track condition that’s poor?
