So, 2 dedicated tracks, 2 really good races with on track racing. At some point we had 5 cars racing within inches of each other through the midfield. You don't see that often...

Between mechanical problems and on track shunts, Ferrari and RB just seem to keep letting Petronas hang around while they sort their super finicky car out. They should be finishing no higher than P5/P6 and yet, between on track issues (Max hitting debris at Silverstone, Checo getting punted at the Ring) or mechanical issues (Ferrari's glass cannon F1-75 catching fire), Lewis and George manage to actually finish all but one race and end up higher than the car should at this stage. They are 66 points off of Ferrari for 2nd. Another DNF here or there and they get jumped by the 3rd fastest team.

It's not all faint praise for Mercedes though. The car does look a bit more balanced now, and Hamilton had actual pace the last 2 races. They still have work to do, and it took almost a 3rd of the season to get here, but as I have said before, if this ends up being a year like 2013 where they learn what they can and smash everybody going forward, I'm good.

Shoutout to Mick for consecutive points finish weekends.

Gasley is in a funk, as is Danny Ric. Not sure if the rumors of him getting sacked are true, but F1 is more fun with Ricciardo in it, so lets hope he keeps on somewhere or finds form

Alonso with the finger was on Yuki? Perfect.

Fracne in 2 weeks. Let's go
