FUCKING LOL. TED CRUZ GIVING OUT THE F1 TROPHY IN FUCKING TEXAS AND GETTING BOOED!

Reeeeaaally tests you, this sport

Verstappen only 6 points behind Russell now

Once again this year, a car unable to be put in neutral

TV graphic reads "Slow: Valtterri Bottas" They could keep that up permanently

Leclerc up to 3rd and chasing Max again but how fast is Verstappen in free air?

Oh my god Verstappen defended and attacked at the same time! Up to second

Battle for 2nd in this race is looking hot hot hot hot though

Similarly I still find it mad how much Piastri had struggled compared to last year

Russell having the kind of race that shows he isn't this year's champion. He needs to figure out some things to reset for next year.

One thing I liked about Murray Walker was he used the words "fantastic", "amazing" and "incredible" completely neutrally.

Weird race this, overall. Intriguing though

Hamilton back into net second in the title. Russell not even coming second ultimately would really underline how calamitous this year has gone for him.

The mad thing is the data is there! It appears on the race control feed

There's ample space at the top if the timing tower to just put "debris turn x" or "marshals on track" etc. Track hazard is factual but useless for fans. And it's doesn't matter if it doesn't matter! If you're not going to show us, TELL US!! #F1

Verstappen doing purple sectors immediately

Max's last lap was a second slower than his previous

Mixed strategies abound! That's what we like

Verstappen early commitment to the two stop then

Lovely Alonso Albon battle

Oof penalty for Russell. That'll do him to 8th as it stands

Marshalls keep running on and off the track

I'm assuming someone knows what a self driving network is

Hoping we get some variation later. The high deg here gives people options.

All of the possible race strategies for the #USGP. Looks like a two-stop is possible, Verstappen and Hadjar have two sets of new soft tyres available. Hamilton and Norris also both have two new sets of medium tyres. #F1

Looking forward to Ferrari splitting the strategy tomorrow and getting in each others way on lap 14

Well this is a nightmare for my predictions

The pattern of Ferrari coming out blazing on Friday and falling on their arse in qualifying must be studied

Come on Crofty, you can see the front wheel was inside the line

Another great day for Racing Bulls

Seemed like the track got a jump faster but everyone doing last runs. Useful to know for the next sessions.

They really did get this track right when they made it

Nice drone work here so far this weekend. They've set that up well.

Ok, should be a fun one. Keep it inside the lines, everyone

Many times she's had to just calmly but firmly persist in the point she's trying to make
