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!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 awful

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?

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.

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.
Josef Newgarden wins at Toronto

Lando Norris is a kickass name.

Not that much of a blow. I like Palmer, and he has had the lions share of reliability problems at Renault, but he's been absolutely nowhere this year. Besides, we've got a very strong crop of drivers on the up in Callum Ilott, Lando Norris and George Russell that should reach F1 in a few years.

^Six years ago is a lifetime in the current world of F1 these days, but I always felt that Kubica never had a chance to show what he could do. I understand that losing Palmer is a blow for British F1 fans, especially after losing Button to retirement (?), but F1 is a strange game these days.
