++ Hyperactive crowd. I mean, good lord, it’s like they haven’t had F1 there in nearly 40 years or something.

Let’s rock.
Clean start, with Verstappen getting the holeshot.

Ricciardo doesn't look like he'll be lasting too long.

Not exactly the most exciting race in history in terms of passing (although Perez and Norris are trying their best). I think the cars are just too wide for the track.
Anyway, pending disaster in the last few laps, Verstappen is gonna win on home soil.

Denny Hamlin wins a brutal race at Darlington where Kyle Larson tried to force his way past on the last lap only to blow sparks.

Valtteri Bottas confirmed to move to Alfa Romeo from the 2022 season onwards, which basically means we'll be getting the George Russell move to Mercedes made official any day now.

Any day was today. George Russell officially signed to Mercedes for 2022 and beyond (it wasn’t specified as anything other than a long-term deal).
Alpha Tauri have also confirmed they will be retaining Gasly and Tsunoda for next year, which means there’s a non-zero chance one of them will be turfed mid-season.

Alex Albon will return to F1 next year, taking the vacant Williams seat alongside Nicholas Latifi.
As things now stand, there are only two vacant seats in the F1 lineup for next year, the second Alfa Romeo seat alongside Valtteri Bottas and the second Aston Martin seat alongside Sebastian Vettel, which I’m 99% certain will be retained by Lance Stroll anyway.

About to have another attempt at the sprint qualifying experiment, this time at the mighty Monza.
The Ferraris are a bit banged up, with Sainz having crashed in practice and Leclerc having a bit of an upset stomach.

The Monza sprint is starting soon. Bottas on pole (before getting bumped to the back for the main race tomorrow), Lewis is second, Max in third.

Let’s rock.
Gasly, the defending champion in this race, has had a big off after clipping his front wing on the back of Ricciardo.

It was quite a shallow angle that he went into the barriers, that could have been much worse.

Hamilton in 5th, and he’s having a bit of trouble getting past Norris, which would make his race tomorrow very interesting.

Well this sprint race has been a disaster for Lewis Hamilton given that with bottas starting at the back of the grid all he had to do was hold his position and he’s be on pole but he got an awful start.

Bottas wins the sprint for three points, but will drop to the back, leaving Verstappen (two points) and Ricciardo (one point) as the front row.
