The Ferraris had a “Red Bull Sandwich” going on, a while ago, but RB’s in control now.

I need to find My glasses. I just glanced at the TV and there was a box with a name in it that I didn't recognize.

YETTOPIT

Then I realized it was referring to the Driver they were talking about still needed to Box-Box.

So My stupid moment of the day has now been accomplished.

I find it very entertaining to watch Verstappen transform from the young 17 year old reckless rebel who dove for the tiniest gap to one that is lecturing other drivers on being less aggressive.

Max Verstappen furious at George Russell after clash in Baku GP sprint race

Max Verstappen called George Russell a "d---head" after they collided on the opening lap of the sprint race at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

Verstappen was fuming after the Mercedes driver barged past him on the inside at Turn 2, with the contact almost putting the championship leader in the wall. Cameras later revealed the collision had taken a chunk out of the sidepod of Verstappen's car.

Verstappen was repeatedly broadcast complaining about the move to Red Bull over the radio, at one point saying: "Did he really drive into the side of my car? I don't know how he can damage my car and still keep position."

When Verstappen passed Russell later in the race, his race engineer commented that he did so cleanly.

"Yeah, I know how to do that," Verstappen replied curtly.

After the sprint race was finished Russell went over to Verstappen.

"I didn't do it on purpose, mate," Russell said. "I had no grip. I just locked up."

"We all have no grip!" Verstappen replied. "We all need to leave a little bit of space."

As Russell walked away, Verstappen called after him and said: "Well next time, expect the same. D---head."

A NEAR Disaster on the Pit Road with a herd of people out in the Pits when Ocon makes a last lap stop !!! (?Puncture?)

Perez/Mad Max/LeClerc finish.

Boy that could have been a real mess if those people hadn’t gotten out of the way...

Ocon had not made a tire stop yet. He had to make a tire change before the end of the race. Almost collected some idiots.

I wish I had started watching back when he started out- woulda been neat to watch him progress through the ranks. Been watching Jimmy j0hnson Nascar driver racing in indycar- he’s done ok, but not great. Not sure he’s still in indy, as I haven’t seen him race this year yet. I was hoping he’d work his way up through the ranks- gives somenting to root for and watch

Leclerc, with Max in 2nd and taking the lead in a few laps and then trading back and forth with Perez the exception being Box-Boxing.

Johnson was a back-marker in IndyCar, and his 7 NASCAR titles didn’t mean anything.
