Watched F1 (the movie) and Rush for the 50th time over the weekend. Love those movies!

Kimi Antonelli now leads the WDC by 20 points after winning the Miami GP. This kid is really good.

Yup. Crazy good at such a young age. Would be wild if he ends up on top at the end of the season

Did anyone watch the NASCAR All-Star race? Enjoy the highlights.

@Luca did you happen to watch the Nurburgring 24h? I'm a Max fan, so of course I tuned in. A 15-mile track with 100+ cars in wildly different classes was insane. I watched on and off until about 6 hours remaining, but had to sleep at some point. P1/P2 seemed like a done deal, but with endurance racing you never know.

Unfortunate with the drive shaft issue.

Logan Sargeant reflects on the pressure of his F1 stint with Williams and how stepping away from the grid helped him reset mentally and reconnect with why he started racing in the first place. Interesting watch for anyone into the wider motorsport journey beyond F1.

This championship fight is getting really interesting.

This championship fight is getting really interesting.

Yup...not much in it now between the top 5. Luckily Bez has the break to get healthy before the next round.

It is pole position for Lando in Hungary. He's back!

It looked like he and McLaren now has the pace to compete with Mercedes and Ferrari and we should see an interesting battle between these 3 teams after the summer break.

SCCA Hillclimb Time Trials!

I was at the Duryea & Pagoda Hill Climb, in Reading, PA, yesterday.

Spectating at turn 2 & 3, not participating.

Lando Norris won the Dutch Grand Prix and he is very much in the drivers' championship, at least for the P2.

Technically Yuki still has a chance with 275+ points still on the board, and Antonelli only with 242! But really, this season is getting interesting with the shift of Kimi dominance to a little more parity. It's Kimi's to lose, but the top 5 are all still in it. What happened to Piastri?

It is almost impossible for anyone to catch Kimi and I don't think anyone would disagree with this.

Kimi Antonelli is the winner at Madring.

I like Kimi but Lando should've won -- and kudos to Kimi for giving Lando his due. I've enjoyed watching Kimi mature, but this is what won me over:

It's very very difficult to beat the current Mercedes car.

Congratulations Max Verstappen. That was an amazing lap by him.
