I've watched this sport for 26 years. This is probably the best analysis I've ever seen where somebody is equally hilarious at the same time.
Nico Rosberg needs to be given a lifetime contract to be a #F1 pundit. Superb. #ItalianGP

If McLaren somehow lose the #F1 Drivers' Championship to Max Verstappen, this radio message from Joseph will still haunt them long when we're gone.

Something that must be remembered: In 2024 it was announced Will Courtenay would be joining McLaren as Sporting Director but Red Bull blocked him joining until 2026.
His role at Red Bull? Red Bull's strategy chief. How much they needed him this year to help, even in the SD capacity. Unbelievable.

I know he was handed it by McLaren fumbling like you wouldn't believe but Max Verstappen. No words. He's always there. He never gives up. P2 in the championship with a race to go with that McLaren car this year, I have no words.
Easily one of the greatest of all-time. Making the difference 👏🏻

Alonso just made a big mistake and lost two spots. Would be good to see what happened.

Would have been hilarious if McLaren ended up in the DRS behind Alonso but the way Nando managed that stint was extraordinary. Plenty of faster cars behind him and he managed, managed, managed, pushed in the last few laps to pull a gap for a safe stop. Extraordinarily clever.

Can someone remind Sky they commentate outside the UK? Good lord.

Norris simply can't match Piastri. And the current gap could be huge where they come out in traffic, honestly could end up at like 5-6 places potentially. Alonso is key here....

Just warning in advance that I will likely lose it if any of the title contenders have a tyre failure, or anyone else tbh. It could also screw a title contender that way. Really unacceptable to be carrying that question into the penultimate round of the season.
Car failures are part of the sport.

No way Broc Feeney lost the Supercars championship. That is an absolute disgrace. Shame on the disease that is the playoff format. Absolutely rotten and it's spreading in Motorsport.
Disgraceful. The best driver losing the championship because of points manipulation basically. Hahahaha, piss off.

So combining the head-to-heads from 2020 and 2025, Leclerc is 31-9 against Vettel (13-4) and Hamilton (18-5) in Grand Prix qualifying.
And in points, 139 (65 in 2020 and 74 in 2025) is the difference. That's against two unbelievable drivers with 11 titles between them. Extraordinary numbers.

Probably won't matter but a stellar effort from Verstappen to beat Russell to P3. He's gotta hope for fireworks in front now 😂

Gasly and Leclerc. My word. Outstanding.
Sainz really has come back at Albon since Hungary. Quite a common theme now.

Fernando Alonso is, in the absolute best way possible, a freakish anomaly.
He first won a Grand Prix when kids were destroying the family computer with Limewire.
Now he’s 44 years old and you’d STILL count on him for a result if there’s a chance. Madness.

I am getting serious flashbacks to the SF1000 watching Leclerc this weekend. It's not been a great car all year but this is the worst it has been. Trying to crash every corner.
