Quote from Marko:

Narrowly missing out on the world championship this season has moved me deeply and made it clear to me that now is the right moment for me personally to end this very long, intense, and successful chapter.

Pirelli really need to up their game, too many races this year have been one-stops.

Norris should have it in the bag, but I reckon because of that he'll underperform. Hoping Piastri can deliver at least the race win.

 

Probably nothing will come of this but at least someone is trying to do something

I think Yuki has been around too long to pull an Ocon/Albon. He has less good will I feel, even thou it's largely Red Bull's fault.

DC loves to mention how other teams/teammates will make things easier, but it made absolutely no sense for Mercedes to give up points when they're trying to secure second in the constructors.

 
 

Mr Justice Jay handed down his ruling from that hearing on Thursday. He allowed the matter to proceed and said Massa had a "real prospect of proving at trial" his case for damages.

However, to allow the declaration element of Massa's case to proceed "comes too close in my view to impinging on the right of the FIA to govern its own affairs", the judge said.

"Mr Massa is not entitled to claim declaratory relief for reputational or publicity reasons," he added.

"The present claim cannot of course rewrite the outcome of the 2008 drivers' world championship, but if declaratory relief along the lines sought were granted that is how Mr Massa would present his victory to the world and it is also how it would be perceived by the public."

The media is definitely making it more of a thing than it really is, but then they haven't got much else to talk about. And to be fair McLaren aren't helping themselves.

Verstappen... was asked in a news conference on Thursday in Austin whether he believed McLaren were favouring Norris.

He replied: "Absolutely."

He laughed, and then said: "Yep."

Leaving the news conference, he said off-microphone: "Well, there's a headline."

BBC Sport sought clarification from Verstappen as to whether he had been joking, and he said through a PR person that he had been.

As if you need to clarify such a thing
