    Crap. Now Kimi won't take part in his last Dutch GP as he tested positive for COVID.

    Kubica will take his seat for this week (and probably next).

    Another sad episode in the life of Valterri "It's James" Bottas

    The Dutch crowd and Alonso (surely the DOTD) and another non-commonsensical Merc pit call (for Bottas) made the race more interesting than it actually was.

    About that Dutch crowd, it makes one understand why they had tulip fever at one crazy moment in their history.

    Pretty much confirmed now, just waiting for the announcement.

    Now I want to see ALB to Williams. Deserves an F1 seat for me TBH.

    Aleeebono is back!

    It looks like RB released him in order for this to happen. I hope he does well next year.

    I was wondering about that too. Doesn’t say anywhere that RBR formally released him.

    Glad he’s back. And Latifi too. Deserves a drive. Last seat in play is Bottas’s teammate. Still hoping they sign Ilott.

    Hoping that MSC gets the second Alfa seat. The environment at Haas is toxic at the moment and Gunther doesn’t seem to have the grips of the team.

    Red Bull has said that they released Albon for 2022 so he can become a Williams driver.

    RBR just retains options on him in case he wants (or if the team wants him) to go back and drive for RBR sometime in the future.

    I think Verstappen is at fault here. He forced his way at that corner.

    My boy MAZ got a 5-second penalty for doing something st***d, again.

    PS

    He decided to watch the race beside the wall. Too much pressure on him.
