    Yeah, this doesn’t look good for the health of F1 as a sport… But, if you ignore the F0.5 standings (aka remove RB from the top)…

    From last year to this one, the “best of the rest” pack is bunched up and fighting for every single position. That’s a huge improvement from last year and I can’t wait for the second half of the season to start so I can wave my McLaren flags once again!!!

    Alfa Romeos and AlphaTauris decline is sad to watch.

    I could’ve sworn Haas were doing better this season…?

      They are: their car is just a dog in the actual race. From a pure qualifying pace POV they are a lot better, with hulkenberg being able to get the car into q3 quite consistently.
      That’s also what makes them seem better than they really are: hulk qualifying in p8 (great) and then tumbles down to p16 by the end of the race (usually because they have to stop more often or at least to worse tires since their tire deg is abismal)
