What on earth just happened in the #WRC. Absolutely extraordinary finish.

Having to update the software so the cars could race is honestly one of the most insane things I've ever heard in Motorsport. A truly embarrassing day for F1 and the FIA. Yet, they will persist with these regs. I highly doubt the split change next year fixes them completely. Unbelievable.

Great to see Malaysia back for a year Class drives from Max, Lewis and Fernando; good recovery from Leclerc and Piastri alongside LH as well Huge points for Racing Bulls in the fight for 5th But unfortunately what happened before the start is going to leave a very bitter taste for me.

David Croft failing to mention the cars stopping on the formation lap because of software when doing a brief summary of the race so far. Unbelievable. Like listening to propaganda.

McLaren are married to slow stops. 3.6s for Oscar, over 5s for Lando...

I am genuinely more excited for the comments from Alonso and Verstappen post-race than anything that happens on track now. Going to be generational stuff

‘The driver must drive the car alone and unaided’- except when an algorithm causes you to crash, as we saw with Bottas in Baku.

Round 16 and the Ferrari chassis continues to be very, very strong. Impressive start and then development on the car side. If they can keep it up next year and make a good step on the engine, certainly opportunities in 2027.

Champion class at the front from Max and Lewis, very good from Kimi as well after Q2. Alpine clearly the benchmark midfield car again

Crazy to think it's only two months away from two years without Millie. It's been hitting hard tonight. Lying down alone with your thoughts on nights like this is not a particularly great feeling. As someone who will always be an animal dad that loves them deeply, the pain of loss is so hard.

Albon: "Of course, it's nice to go to a track that's not a street track and it's not 90-degree corners. There's character here, cambers up, elevation, unique corners where you can, I think it's [Sepang has] been well-designed, where there's pockets of clear air you can use" 🐐👏 #toomanystreettracks

I was looking at the Kimi diecast models I have this evening and just felt such happiness on the inside, even on the verge of smiling 😂 It's ridiculous how model cars can bring back some of the best memories I've ever had. Impossible for me not to get joy from looking at them

Sport can absolutely rip your heart out. Between losing it so late and playing Wharfie Time when you're 17 points up with four minutes left, brutal weeks, months and maybe years ahead for Fremantle. They were also on the verge of winning their first flag (title) 💀 youtu.be/X_nCjeDpwSA?...

Not much interest in football these days but reading the Premier League statement. Wow. Manchester City should be demoted to League 2 and handed a transfer ban for as long as they were financially cheating. Stripped of all those titles in that period as well. But that'll never happen...

CGR getting Lundgaard and not having to make an awkward decision with Dixon is feeling like Antonelli taking Hamilton's seat at Mercedes because he went to Ferrari. An upgrade in both cases it feels like. But it doesn't take away GOAT status for either Scott or Lewis. Father time does come, though

To think 2027 is Stroll’s 11th season in F1 and the fact he'll continue for many more years is just utterly depressing.

"We’re proud to wear the national team’s uniform; proud of our country and our soldiers. And they can pull all the stunts they want and do whatever they want" Our country is far from perfect but at least we're not genocidial maniacs killing innocent people on stolen land every day.

12th to 1st in no time to win the championship. When he has boost like the others, untouchable. A joke how good he is considering the boost rules in BTCC. Hopefully Ingram can have a better package next year, the only guy close to his level

Bottas on his crash: "First of all, the same lap I had a lock-up into turn 1, I went wide. Then I think the systems got a bit confused because of the extra distance. I had a huge super clip into 15, and then when I hit the brakes, only the front brakes would work...

Oh boy. And this is from the press release. Imagine what he's saying behind closed doors without PR filter.
Flavio Briatore: “Obviously I'm extremely disappointed with the outcome of today's race, knowing we lost valuable points in the Championship fight. These sort of incidents shouldn't happen, particularly when we were running well with both cars in point-scoring positions. I feel very sorry for the team and for Pierre who did a great job all weekend and my apologies also go to Lando [Norris] and McLaren for ruining their race. I know that Franco has taken full responsibility for it, as he should; in fact he braked far too late considering the context of the race and the safety car restart. It was a very poor move for a driver of his experience. I want to take time to reflect on it and consider what course of action should be taken, so we can learn from it and avoid such a situation in future.”

This is one of those 'oh the F1 is on' weekends but even more so in 2026. A totally dominant car, everyone losing speed on the long straights because of the terrible engine regs. Completely meh feeling towards it.

Mega defensive drive from Alex there. That's a painful penalty. Gapping his teammate by 6.5s was impressive. Invicta and Campos are just so, so fast in race trim. Câmara and Tsolov obviously unbelievably good as well.

Also, a big piss off to Sky Sports for not showing the podium. They are the official broadcaster of F2 in the Republic of Ireland and we cannot see our generational talent on the podium. Yet another reason why F1 TV should be available to us. Disgraceful.
