Watching Piastri's pace-setting lap in second practice. Huge lift-offs going into turn one and three. Downshifting early for turn six to aid recharge.
Undeniably impressive technology and technique. But doesn't look like a car being driven at the limit and doesn't feel like motor racing.

Fernando Alonso leaves the pits for the first time at Melbourne a quarter of an hour into the second practice session.

But all those right-wing TikTok influencers taking bungs from the Dubai government told me it was paradise?
Only 27% of respondents in a poll conducted in the US said they approved of US strikes on Iran, which were conducted alongside Israeli attacks on Iran, while 43% disapproved and 29% were not sure reut.rs/4bkFwwJ
If #F1 cancels its warzone-adjacent races in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia before it's too late, it could have time to arrange replacements.
If it dithers it could have no grands prix at all in April.
Though perhaps, fearing how bad the racing will be with its new cars, it would actually prefer that?
Four U.S. soldiers have tragically fallen in Donald Trump's reckless, chaotic war with Iran.
California salutes the courage and enduring sacrifice of our service members and their loved ones.
But our Commander in Chief? Don't worry, he's focused on what really matters: himself.
Kill the tedious sprint races next, please:

Trump heaps distraction upon distraction. It's important to keep reminding people what he is and the racist views he holds and promotes.

An email chain with Instagram head Adam Mosseri indicated the company was aware of teen safety issues in DMs in 2018, but didn't launch its unwanted nudity filter until 2024.

Activists hang photo of Andrew leaving police custody in the Louvre
So-called 'nudify' apps. Smart glasses that secretly record video. An explosion in sexualised deepfakes.
Tech has turned against women, and it's time to regulate it properly, says author and gender equality campaigner Laura Bates.
