Alonso 2023 WDC confirmed? ;-) It would be really cool to see AM near top, we'll see how this weekend goes!



Heh, one can dream. It's been 16 years since he won his last a title, which is a pretty staggering amount of time. Only a few drivers (outside those running in the last ten years) even had total careers that long.

Aston Martin been a fun distraction in the past few weeks, with Alonso's testing speed and whether Stroll will race or not.

Podium for Alonso! (Behind the Red Bull 1-2)

Also strong showing from Williams today. Albon got a point in 10th, and Sargeant finished best of the rookies in 12th.

George Russell says the season is already over. A bit of an overreaction, I think.

All three major racing circuits have competitive balance problems.

Red Bull and Ferrari win almost all F1 races
Penske and Ganassi win almost all IndyCar races
Hendrick, Penske and Gibbs win almost all NASCAR races

Really not sure how you fix that
Indiana: counties 100%, highways 100%
Illinois: counties 100%, highways 61%
Michigan: counties 100%, highways 56%
Wisconsin: counties 86%, highways 23%

Sports car racing does balance of performance to even the field a bit, but it's...controversial. And doing so in one of those three series would be even more so.

Especially in F1. It's always been about which team is able to adapt to the formula the best. Unbalanced performance is by design.

A lot of the cars this year seem have a slender sloping nose similar to the Red Bull; it's a sport where "if you can't beat 'em, copy 'em" supplies the design pipeline. New rules kind of do that kind of thing; either it equalizes teams or 1-2 of them just crack the code and the rest just try to keep up.

Yeah, that wasn't great planning on their part. They should've gone into it knowing there was a high probability of the Chinese Grand Prix being cancelled.

I've been filling my time listening to some F1 podcasts, like P1 with Matt and Tommy. Matt just did a show with Connor Moore, the guy who does impersonations of the drivers. That was a fun listen.

August is the tougher month off, though the worst of all was back when they had 4-5 weeks off after the first event in Brazil. Thankfully that stopped around 1989.

The Emilia-Romagna GP (I'm not typing out the full name) has been postponed due to flooding in the area. It's thought that it will eventually be canceled due to limited remaining open dates on this year's packed calendar.

If you've seen the pictures from that part of Italy, you know it was the right decision. Hopefully it doesn't mess up anything the teams need for Monaco next weekend.

commenting on the Capitals clinching a playoff spot.

"That sounded stupid, didn't it?"

This has been impacting the Giro d'Italia as well.

Imola GP.

Fair enough; Miami and Las Vegas get called by the cities' names, sort of how Detroit, Phoenix, and Dallas were used as _____ Grand Prix.

The term United States Grand Prix had been used on and off since 1961.
