Honest question. I don't get the love of F1. I'm definitely a racing fan. Mostly dirt but also Nascar and Indy which is my favorite. Why the love of watching a train. No passing and VerStappin wins every race. Help me want to watch this more.

An incident involving Stroll that actually wasn't his fault, don't see that every race. Sucks for Lando who was just chilling out there.

Danny Ric killing it today

Magnesson doing whatever it takes to keep his ride. Love it. Kevin looked like a NASCAR driver today

He got 4 penalties in a 19 lap sprint race...

Good god, I lost track after awhile.

After that first one, and maybe the whole time, he was obviously doing whatever it took to build a gap to protect Hulk. Not sure what the recourse could be though, deduct team points?

I mean they could ban him from the race, which is about the only thing that would stop that behavior in the future. I don’t think they can deduct team points. Even a starting grid drop isn’t a massive penalty for Haas.

Maybe im too new to this sport, but if you call under-braking, weaving, and deliberately bypassing a chicane ‘hard-racing’ … then we’ll just have to agree to disagree

Back in the 80’s and 90’s this was normal racing. This is what they did. No everyone cry’s when a guy does it.

I like how he was driving, racing is supposed to be fun, too many times the stewards ruin it.

I like F1 but it's honestly not a great product right now, Max is too dominant.

I agree. This sprint trace was the best race in two years. Part of that was Kevin racing so hard. Indy racing is a better product right now. Way more strategy and anyone can win

He wasn't racing hard, he was just leaving the track multiple times to stay ahead because his race was already ruined. Racing hard would be Danny Ricciardo somehow keeping the Ferrari behind him for 14 laps while getting no penalties.
