Just had to post this amazing photo from the qualifying rounds in Suzuka. Max Verstappen is an enormous hero here in The Netherlands and seems to be back on form this week after an uncomfortable slump in Singapore.

When my dad used to take me to motor racing events, I enjoyed it most when the cars crashed.

I used to be, but then Michael Masi happened :( Used to be that you could turn a blind eye to the injustices within F1, but that was so blatant it poked your eye out!!

masi completely runied 21 for me, the 'let them race' crap spouted by horner every time max shoved someone off the road ruined 21, the crazily inconsistent stewarding ruined 21 and the media frenzy and rediculous fanbase tribalism ruined 21 for me.
I always try to be neutral during a season and not support a particular team or driver (apart from williams i always want to see them do well), but that season made it very difficult to do.
22 and 23 have been utterly boring quite frankly, worse than 14 and 15, but i still follow despite the foregone conclusion results because there has been some great racing. Just not for the titles
