Thrilled for my hitters at Red Bull, esp Checo. But gutted for Toto. Big day for my beautiful boys at Alpha Tauri. Latifi continues to be the ultimate fluffer – massive disgrace.
Last lap felt a bit too “NASCAR” for my tastes.

Lewis Hamilton incredibly gracious in defeat. Gone up hugely in my estimation. Not sure Verstappen would have been as magnanimous

He stayed on the podium throughout…. Unlike Max last race 🤷🏻♂️.

Horner has never loved anything/anyone as much as he loves Max

Seems like the kids and I picked a good first F1 race to watch. Can somebody give me the golf equivalent of what just happened.

That’s absurd, I do not understand how that is fair?!

Still can’t believe this a real-life person, who looks like this, and is named Max Verstappen.
