The savvy corruption of Bernie Ecclestone...

The ruthlessness of Michael Schumacher...

A little George shade there too? #F1

Plus the director (Joseph Kosinski) and the camera technology from Top Gun: Maverick.

I don’t get the "pre-hate” for this movie.

Took a few races to find her groove, but I’ve become a fan of RBD commentary . #F1

I’m a very heavy-handed editor, it’s just kinda my style (see profile pic, lol). When I see something like this that looks so lightly-touched, I’m inspired to buff-up my camera-fu.

Mad skills. Thanks for sharing.

Great idea to fill the foreground with your headlights! Really cool effect.

Is this straight out of camera 📷 or edited? I ask because the exposure looks so well balanced with the background. Really nice shot.

I hope they can come up with something, but this is a tricky rule change to make, IMO.

How long before a team complains about a high curb that damaged a gearbox and want an exception or complain that the FIA didn't clean a dusty track enough before a session? Where do you draw the line?

I think this is just about right, however unpopular, and essentially what the Stewards were getting at in their explanation of their decision.

I’m in. A mundane example, perhaps, but a necessary and important one.

Wife coming into the room after the podium ceremony: So Max won?

Me: How’d you know?

Her: I could hear the national anthem that sounds like “12 Days of Christmas”.

I'd be honored, Daryll!

IMO, because those cars are sketchy as hell, and don't have nearly as much downforce as it looks.

Anything that slides around a lot looks fast (see Aussie Supercars.)

Same time and place, same camera, same owl, different angle.
