That’s a heart breaker. The look on Massa’s face up on the podium is unforgettable, happy to win his home race but also crushed with disappointment.

No, let them be human. They’re passionate, I like to what they’re thinking in the car. It’s not like every other word is “f_€k”. MBS should focus on clarifying rules, safety and fairness. He doesn’t seem to be very highly regarded. The drivers ignore him as much as they can.

100%. Yuki should have had the seat. He only got better over the years at Minardi/RB. I want him to go to AM and drive the wheels off that Newey car.

Wow! Even more impressive. I really liked seeing him win it last year. He’s had some bad luck, he deserved that one.

He knows every bump in that road. Perfection.

I’m looking forward to Hamilton coming in and doing a great job on track. Just to prove Ecclestone wrong. From Ferrari’s perspective it’s already a marketing win.

Stunning photos. I have to see Scotland someday.

To finish my thought. What can we believe from video? I would like believe he was booed though, it must crush him. Also, Taylor could have been booed for many reasons.

Open-Handed Reach streaming . New one to me. Sounds very sweet.

Agree, that’s probably going to be the case, one dominant team for a while. Watching the teams trading places at the front in 2024 was great though, I’ll miss that. I hate to see great drivers wasting years while their team plays catch up.

I don’t like the whole crashgate thing but Briatore is entertaining. He did steal the title away from Massa. The look on Massa’s face at the end of the Brazilian GP still haunts me.

It’s amazing how bad the American cars were in those days. It’s like they didn’t care. This one in particular didn’t honor the Camaro name at all.

That’s a good point. It’s just business. I really wanted to see what Yuki could do in that car though.

I liked the look of the Lucky Strike cars. Too bad they were never good enough for Jacques Villeneuve to fight for wins.

Yuki deserves a chance. Come on!

I’m not looking forward to seeing the 2026 rule changes now that teams have come to grips with these rules. But maybe it will give Audi and Austin Martin(Adrian Newey) a fighting chance.

Another version. I’m so glad Michael Brecker included this in his final album. youtu.be/pG9UZwczSVg?...

I binged a few episodes yesterday. I've gained even more respect for Senna. They've done a great job at telling his story.

All these years and I’ve been missing this one. It has all those tones that drew me to Bill Frisell when I heard him on the Lyle Mays album. Making up for lost time! Thanks for sharing!

That Sauber logo back in the day was the coolest.

Some great insights here. As a fan I’ve been wondering what the heck is going on. I’m looking forward to Mario hanging around and commenting on affairs the Laura used to. I love hearing from the legends.

Absolutely dig what’s going on there!
