Great cooldown room conversation - fascinating to hear Charles, Oscar and Kimi compare tactics. They seemed to enjoy the race from behind the wheel.

F1 is an odd thing to behold right now, some teams coming to grips with the regs and having great races while RB, Williams and Aston are just nowhere and having a torrid time of it all. Haves and have nots.

I kinda like getting to hear the Italian national anthem again though

I have been reading that these teams/drivers will start converging on same battery deployment strategies as regs mature. We could start experiencing boost button trains, similar to the old DRS train. I feel like we got a taste of that already at Suzuka.

This exiting of people from Formula 1 can't happen soon enough. Tired of hearing the bellyaching.

Only good Apple deal is that the fast-forward option goes ... well, pretty fast.

Take a look at my screenshot. Lower left hand corner. Choice of Sky replay or F1tv replay.
You missed one of your drivers having a great drive.

Points are given on sunday this weekend, not saturday.
Max finished ahead of one Audi who started in front of him, passing three teammates isn’t much to be proud of.

You’re correct about points being scored on Sunday this race.

Ant. 72 points

Max 12 points

I agree with you thinking once again the car is what matters most, not the driver.

You better hope he switches to a competitive car next year or it’s going to be like Vettel, four and done for Max.

I'm signing off F1 for this season. Following IndyCar instead. No longer worth watching F1 anymore IMO. Buh Bye...

I knew I found the SKY broadcast for China.
It was my screw-up today

I selected the Japan race from the Home Screen instead of the Formula 1 tap.

Thanks for the motivation!!! I just figured it back out

Swapping cars is always the car and the driver.

In 2027 we'll see MAX in a Benz...
You guys would love to see that (!)

Thanks to 3798j I remembered how to watch SKY coverage if that helps any?

SKY coverage is under the Formula1 tap, left side of screen on AppleTV.

If you select the race from the Home Screen it only gives you AppleTV options.

Guess I need to try IndyCar too. Other than the 500 I have very little history with that series. No emotional attachment to the drivers and I don't like Chevy or Honda. But, what the hell

So you’re saying that if Max switches to the best car he could win.

Maybe if RBR has a lot of upgrades he can finish 7th instead of 8th.
