Thereās no correlation with road cars, so why would they?
I canāt imagine there has ever been much correlation with road cars and F1?
Perhaps traction control and ABS?
Maybe lubricant and fuel tech?
I want Ferrari V12ās in all the cars 
. Oh they would need to bring back refuelling too then 
.
Of course you canāt put a F1 engine in your Barry Barrow but current Hybrids are (at least) relatable to the public.

Why not let Piastri and have a crack at Max???
No idea what they had to lose, aside from some butt hurty pouting from Lando?

It was a bit weird.
They had two cars to one and did nothing in the strategy to try and shake that up and get a 1st and 3rd (whichever way round) rather than just follow RBR for a 2nd and 3rd.

Think they were a bit buggered strategy wise either way once Russel pitted early, but I canāt understand why they wouldnāt try the āgive Piastri a crack, weāll swap back if it doesnāt workā move

Absolutely baffling - Iām generally against team orders, but Oscar was demonstrably quicker by ~lap 47ā¦
Yeah Rob - dull race, Suzuka needs to revert to the wet season!

Dammright - #1 race fans, bar none!
Team makes a fine-able mistake - drivers get grid place penalties!
Fucking useless FIA will be the death of Formula 1 
First race of the season where Q3 times were slower than '24 (by ~0.7sec) - anyone have any thoughts why? Previous 3 were all >1sec faster than '24.
Thatās interesting. I havenāt followed this weekends race at all; gotta assume the only variables are surface or weather ? Itās a bloody whopping difference though
I wonder if one of the complicating factors - thatās hard for us mere mortals to get a handle on - is the fact thereās actually six different slick tyre compounds. I donāt even know how long theyāve been doing this (hands-up, Iām basically a filthy Casual), but when tyres are allocated they can be any combo of these six which are marked as soft / med / hard.
Got to make it harder for the teams to adjust the cars appropriately, and perhaps explain (e.g.) RBRās travails this w/e.
Ferrari start on mediums. Most are starting on softs.
If we can stay away from the click-baity nonsense, this season could actually be nteresting.
Kimi has 7 starts in F1, and has finished in the top 10 5 times.
Ollie has an even better success ratio (if such a thing can exist): he has 4 starts in F1, and 3 top 10 finishes.
Great driving by both.

Oh - something else which is likely to have escaped attention.
Every single team has score points within the first four races of the season.
