Another sprint race weekend.

Just a shame that the championship is over, otherwise Verstappen would be wary about the overtake, now he'll just barge through at the first opportunity, although I do think he'll be first into the first corner, he'll just brake later than Magnusson no matter how late Magnusson brakes, Russell will be off the track on the outside.

Shame Ricciardo is back to his slump

It's forecast to be wet, and at Interlagos, in the wet, anything can happen and invariably does... 2003, anyone?

Actually, I think it's more a reflection of the car than of DR's ability. That McLaren is a right dog, and Lando somehow manages to drag it to where it's got no right to be.

It was I think.

Nope - that was 2008...

2003 was the year of the massive pile-up on the start-finish straight during a torrential deluge that brought out the red flags, and when the winner of the race was only declared several months later after an utter confusion in who was where when the red flags were thrown.

The race was eventually awarded to Giancarlo Fisichella in the Jordan.

I'd forgotten that one.

Thought I couldn't have been right as it was too early for Hamilton, I don't remember the 2003 race, but I did take a hiatus from the sport for a while & if the race was at an awkward time I may have missed it.

It's a dry start to the sprint race.

I've often wondered if its built round Lando and his driving style.

It’s like he’s still in a kart. He doesn’t seem to have grown up - it a trademark now.
