Yeah, and now, like 3 scores are showing up, but not others. It's got a real time lag, it seems.

Feeling good about #4 having not used the 3x mega driver thing.

I know it's cliche, but watching with 5 drivers in the mix made yesterday a blast.

It was definitely a blast. Also, I got a bit confused by the time next to the driver. At first, it seemed to be time behind leader for all racers, then it seemed to be time behind car ahead of them.

I like that the tv crew was clearly accepting of the new viewers... explaining things like engine differential and other things that are old hat to many, but not folks that are stopping by due to Netflix.

And, yeah, the only beef I have with the coverage is that there are just too many tight shots of one car going through the circuit. I'd like some more shots of the bulk of the pack, just to get a better handle on the entirety of the race.

By the way, I don't know how that Russian guy is going to stay on that team. He spun out on just about every session (practice, qualie, race day). There are TON of guys out there that could at least finish a race.

Like, Alex Albon is out there being adorable and without a car? What's that all about?

Alex Albon doesn't have an oligarch daddy.

Oh shit, I thought that was the OTHER Russian driver (Kvyat)... Not sure how I mixed them up in my head like that.

So, is Marzipan also the guy that grabbed a girls boob and Instagrammed it or whatever that was?

Kvyat is the one who has a kid with Verstappen's current GF, presumably the reason MVS hasn't featured much since season 1 of DTS.

I had to educate myself on the Q1, Q2, Q3 thing the other day. I had no idea what that was and why it was like that.

yeah, that's a great example of stuff you don't come near understanding if you've only watched the Netflix show. I think it's fascinating, now that I actually know that it's a thing.

Rough day for many of our teams with Tsunoda crashing out in Q1.

I haven't read anything yet, but I couldn't quite tell where Lando went wide to wipe out what was about to a pole position run. Wish the Sky Sports crew had explained that a bit more clearly.

ETA - He would've been P3, not pole.

Remember you have 3 subs you can make for free each week. I subbed Tsunoda in as one of my 3. DOH!!

So did my wife. Sucks that it sounds like this is a hard track to gain position during the race.

No, I'm fully aware, I subbed him in too. That's kind of what I was getting at. My wife had him W1 and kept him, I liked the price and swapped out someone for him.

He might do a solid and rise up the ladder for some points tomorrow. The car has pace.

Up to 10th with 29 to go. Race currently stopped to clear up an accident between Valteri Bottas and George Russel.

I also put in Tsunoda. Wish his luck would have held today. But Travis is way ahead of the pack after today in the Speedy Swampers league. I was happy that Ferrari had a good day. Really glad to have F1 back.

Major shake-up with Nonlinear Racing today. Solid weekend, but Yuki and Georgie kind of killed me (Russell with negative points today was a real bummer.)
