> even a - frankly absurd, but popcorn-worthy fun - Hollywood film starring Brad Pitt.

The last race in Netherlands, last Sunday, was the closest to the movie in this season though.



I think the British GP was the most like the film, and it was the first GP after a lot of people would have seen the film and thought "Oh, I'll check that out". If that was their first race weekend... yeah, it's not always like that.

Netherlands was good, but I actually can't think of a "bad" race this season, though. The racing is more competitive and there's a lot more going on to think about strategy and race-craft wise. It's been ramping for a couple of seasons, and I think it's really welcome: I'm glad we're not in the era of dominance that we had during the Max wins by 20+ seconds, or Lewis before him, or the Schumacher years when he was lapping half the field and the only interesting thing to watch for was other podium places. It's just so much more fun when you can't be certain who is crossing the line first in 1.5-2 hours time.


rain and safety cars!
