Seems like a bunch of cavemen are using Super Max's success as an excuse to get extraordinarily drunk, tribal, and belligerent. I doubt it was the same five year ago, or that they care much about the race.

It's the Verstappen tradition, passed on from father to son.
To be fair, they are in no way responsible for what goes on in the stands. It's not like they are inciting it, and didn't Max come out the other day and say that the ones who cheered Hamilton's crash aren't F1 fans?
Just watching Martin Brundle driving the 1992 Benetton powered by the brilliant Cosworth Ford engine screeming behind him. Such an iconic sound, especially compared to the current V6.
You forget how dominant Ford engines were in F1. From the DFV in the late 1960's where almost every team used except of course Ferrari.
It was so inexpensive and available that many small teams could afford to go into F1 and actually win races.

Also, just realized K-Mag and Lewis and starting in the same row today. Contact guaranteed, and somehow only the Haas will take damage.
Those flares could be a problem, if the smoke drifts across the track.
Is that a piano on pole
clouds look black on TV , is there a chance of rain ?
Give credit where its due, they were Cosworth engines through and through. Never mind the badge. Cosworth had some incredible designs, also the BDA/YB in touring cars and rallying. It's a shame they have faded.
working on Lewis car, looks like a brake issue.
Brake repair on Lewis' car.
Brundle missing today? Always liked his calamity grid walks
Are there tracks on the calendar with less turns than the 10 here?
He seems better at walking the grid wirh a 92 benetton car.
Yes of course. The DFV was a development of the F2 FVA engine.
But the funding for that was provided by Ford.
You may well have read it. But the book Such Sweet Thunder described how the Cosworth Ford DFV came into being and dominated F1 like nothing before or after.
In that book, it showed that a team could buy an engine for something like £12,000 and a Hewland gearbox and pretty much go racing.
Definitely worth a read.
Sitting in a load of smoke all race must be fun
Austrian GP
The formation lap was better than the spring race, at least they all go away .
You would be pissed if you paid a shit load of money to be sat in it.
Flares always look cool but it must be awful for 99% of the people around it 
Sainz did a Lews
Reminds me of Hamilton vs Albon
good start from Max, good clean start.
Holy shit
Perez spins out rejoins and Seb saying he has damage.
Max already looking like he has this won.
Mick remembering his last name.
George Russell is learning from his teammate.
Having seen the replay, Russell fecked up and caused a collision by bouncing off the kerbstones. Has to be a penalty.
Leclerc matching Max. Russell should get a penalty for sure
not sure about that.
Was Russell at fault ? Perez looked like he was in front, just.

nothing russell can do there. he’s on full lock.
perez can’t just keep slinging it around the outside of cars and expecting a miracle

HAAS and Lewis repeat of the Sprint race.
doesn’t matter that he braked later. the inside car will always naturally understeer out when taking a tighter line. perez just went too tight.
Wonder if Russell has damage, he is really falling back quickly
Didn’t you say Albion was a penalty yesterday? Seems similar to me if not worse.
I tend to agree, racing incident ?
Max not actually pulling away, only 0.5 ahead.
Leclerc is fast
No he didn't specifically say that. Only 1 week after he was booed he said in an interview “Those people are not really F1 fans,”. He didn't specifically mention Hamilton or the crash. But it seems those clambering to find redemption for Max are claiming he did.
