As is well known here, I was a big big fan of Kubica. Would be amazing to see him back but I will echo the sentiment, I find that immensely hard to believe. I guess it's possible he's fully recovered from the injury with no issues, but yeah what a long time away. Would be quite a comeback though. Even if he did some one race thing...for the sake of saying hey I managed to make it back.

Vettel wins again, Lewis 4th. 
Both McLaren's scoring in the points, with Alonso grabbing 6th. It's a miracle. 


Indy race at Mid Ohio seems to have just started. Newgarden in 2nd and Sato in 3rd behind Power to start. Should be interesting.

A bit of a risk from Ferrari letting Vettel keep the lead with a damaged car near the end there, for a while it looked like it might cost them both positions. I guess they really counted on Kimi being able to keep Lewis behind?

Well sad as this is, I no longer have cable or anything (all our TV is through netlfix, hulu, HBO etc) and hard as I've tried I can't ever find F1 live streaming. It should be easy but I always run into issues, OR its from a place so sketchy even I don't wanna risk it. It's been a good bit awfulCry

Ouch! As a child of instant gratification, I don't think I could live without cable and the internet streams you mentioned. Hmm. Perhaps I have ADD and need some Adderall. LOL

I'm okay with that since there are a bunch of other series starting to heat up.  Love it or hate it, NASCAR has been pretty good this year, Indycar's point battle is getting pretty intense and the Supercars are always interesting to watch.

I watched a Youtube vid of the 1984 Michigan 500 which was won by Mario Andretti who held off Tom Sneva by holding down him to the bottom lane of the track for the last 5 laps. I was in the crowd that day. The cheering was louder than the cars and it was impossible not to get caught up in the post race hysteria.
A long and caution ridden race, it's still worth checking out if you have the time. One of Mario's best victories and that's saying a lot.

Newgarden showing he wants that championship more with that power move on Pagenaud.  Simon wasn't too happy about it, but oh well, Josef was there and he wanted that spot.

Kudos to Scott Dixon. No help from any of his teammates and he's 2nd in points (once again) with one race to go.
 
The best indycar driver of his generation and that's saying a lot.

A horrible day for Ferrari and a huge stroke of luck for Mercedes today. I hope Vettel can still catch up, Hamilton has been pretty strong in the past few races.

I'm not a Vettel fan,  anyone else yes, who's on the grid...   Too be honest,  he proved his over eagerness today..  I feel that Verstappen was robbed of victory..  It proves that Hamilton, is the better driver in all conditions on the track...  He loves that wet race!!

From what I saw it looked like Verstappen already hit Kimi before Vettel cut in. Maybe Vettel could have made it by taking a more conservative line, maybe not. Verstappen would definitely have had a good chance for the win if it hadn't been for the crash, he seems like the fastest of the current bunch on wet conditions.

I'm still rooting for Vettel for the championship, although I agree he's gotten a bit too impatient lately. Still six races to go though and not a huge difference in points, it could go either way.

It sucks, because Kimi got a phenomenal start, and then of course gets screwed, mostly by his teammate.  I can't really blame Verstappen at all and put most of it on Vettel because he cut way up trying to get into the corner with a better line.
