That was quite the ending. And we're back here again next week.
Despite the craziness at this race, it's looking like another Mercedes season.

Holy shit, what the hell just happened on pit road....
EDIT: One of Ryan Blaney's pit crew got squashed because of a f***up at the entrance to pit road. Red flag right now. He's getting stretchered out but he had a smile and a thumbs up. f***ing scary to watch still.

And Matt Kenseth's best efforts to finally win at the Brickyard are for naught as Kevin Harvick continues his dominant 2020!

Mercedes may be a little limited next Sunday. Whatever problem is causing Austria's kerbs to break the cars, is not something that gets fixed in 5 days in the middle of a pandemic.

Albon and Norris both managed to outpace Lewis in a depowered car towards the end there, and if the car is still having that problem then him and Bottas are both definitely getting a "no, seriously. Stay off the kerbs" talk from Toto. So yeah I think there's some good signs that a few other teams will be breathing down the neck of Mercedes on Sunday

But it’s time to have a change at the front or at least a some semblance of a battle for the win.

With the announcement of Alonso returning to F1 for Renault, where is there left for Vettel next year?

And the NHRA returns this weekend to action, running the next two races at Indianapolis Raceway Park.
Couple big notes:
John Force Racing has no entries for this weekend. Rumors are swirling that they may be parked for the season.
Tony Schumacher returns to Top Fuel action after a hiatus due to the end of the Army sponsorship of his car.
Cory McClenathan returns to Top Fuel for two more races on his "Farewell Tour."

Two more rounds have been added to the 2020 F1 schedule, a first ever race at the Mugello circuit in Italy (labelled as the Tuscan GP)... and Sochi, because we’re still trying to make fetch happen, apparently.

... For God's sake please just use Imola already. Mugello is so bad that I'm expecting it to only be an interesting race via random bullshit happening like Hockenheim last year.
And don't even get me started on Sochi. That place is only interesting in the games.

Looks like it could be an interesting qualifying for the Styrian GP with the wet weather, assuming it happens today.

Hamilton wins ahead of Bottas and Verstappen, but further back it was another exciting ending with Norris making up a couple of places on the last lap.
Over to Hungary next week.

Crazy finish at Kentucky ends up with Cole Custer getting his first career win.
There's one point-in slot in for the Playoff that goes away.
