Interesting. Honestly, I had never heard of Sargeant until a few months ago. Anyone know anything about him as a racer? Is he likely to accrue enough points for a super license? All I know is about his family politics, but it's probably best not to delve into the political views of a lot of drivers/their families.

oooo i know nothing about him as a person! tell me
more 🧐 i’ve just seen he’s from florida though and i don’t want to be stereotypical but 😬 (apologies to florida) i only know of him through watching f2, where he’s been solid to be fair (he’s had two wins to my memory, and maybe four podiums?) and i’m always a fan of giving young drivers the opportunity as opposed to just moving average f1 drivers around teams - but i do also like mick a lot and would be sad to see him go.

i guess it’s all on what happens with pierre now for the other pieces to fall into place!

As much as I would have loved massa to have got a world championship this just seems so stupid. It was so long ago. What next Hill taking legal action about 1994?

That was honestly the best part of yesterday.
I can’t get over how easily the Red Bulls can overtake.

Lando's overtake of Nico was pretty good he'd been following for so long plus that corner is not really known for the overtakes but Nico did go a little wide but still pretty good by Lando. Yeah not the greatest race but same old result ☹

This season is gonna take a bit of time to digest. I'll just mop around a bit, and then grieve. /dramatic

I also need someone new to support, and I grew to like Lando, but I'll never support McLaren again. Warmed up to George, and Mercedes will have a way better season next year. Idk, I need to find myself 2 new emotional support drivers 👀 .
I'd hate to be in the situation where I'll support everyone but "that one driver". Makes it way less enjoyable.

Support KMag 🤩 or 1 of the newbies.
Yeah it's been an eventful year from F1 bet most of the drivers are knackered! Rest and recovery to all. Plus we all need rest for next months Christmas parties!

Who is advising Felipe Massa to challenge the 2008 title? I thought he’d always handled it with dignity but this doesn’t seem to correspond with that

Is it correct that Ted kravitz has annoyed Red bull so now they are refusing to speak to Sky? Could make an awkward and boring post race segment! It comes across as rather childish from red bull.

He's just been a bit rude to Lando in the pen too😬

Yeah. And someone could always take Max out.
At least it gives the others a fighting chance. The fact that they’ve all been given an extra set of inters means the rain must be a pretty sure thing.

I think we were spoiled with such a dramatic end to last season and 2 drivers being on the same points right down to the last race, that this one feels dull by comparison.

Max and Checo definitely gave interviews that were broadcast on SkySports but I don’t think it was a SkySports presenter/representative that asked the questions. Think Sky just got the footage possibly.

sky were using the footage from f1tv i believe - red bull didn’t think that one through 🤣

we were definitely spoilt last season and this one suffers by comparison - however this one has also had a lot of “backstage” nastiness and corruption that hasn’t helped. not to mention the continuing inconsistency of decisions and the slow breakdown of the relationship between the drivers and the fia. i feel like we’re watching a slow cooker about to boil over, though when it does or how it does who knows?!

I'm so torn over who to support. I've always been a Danny Ric fan and I'm struggling to 'get into it' this year without him. I'd have happily switched to Seb, but obv he's gone too 😭

I'm with you. I'll keep my eyes on George, Nick and maybe Ocon.
We're all already rooting for Charles but if the season goes like last year, I'm not sure I'll be able to emotionally cope.
