Tony Stewart's team is leaving nascar.

The dominoes are falling from this.
Front Row Motorsports picks up a third charter, presumably for the 36 to go full time. They haven’t said whose charter it is but it’s said to come from Stewart Haas. FRM’s owner was also at SHR talking to employees there about future employment.

Before we get to the next F1 race, some updates on where a few drivers will be in future:

Perez is staying with Red Bull Sr for another couple of seasons (luckily he signed before qualifying)

Tsunoda is sticking around for another year at RB Jr

Ocon and Alpine are splitting up at the end of the season. You can't imagine that his antics in Monaco helped that relationship.

15 minutes until we go boating racing in Canada... unless the start gets delayed.

Haas took a bit of a gamble on wet tyres, but it's working for them for the opening laps.

[Gecko]

Safety car, most into the pits with more rain on the way, apart from Norris in the lead as he had passed the pits.

[Gecko]

15 minutes until we go racing in Spain with the Brits ganging up on Max at the front.

[Gecko]

10 minutes until an Austrian sprint, with a slightly ill Norris.

[Gecko]

10 minutes until a full Austrian race

[Gecko]

Fun race and we're getting a chaotic ending with contact between Max and Lando giving 'em both punctures and damage.

Either Russell or Piastri could have just gotten gift-wrapped a win here.

15 minutes until we go racing at Silverstone for a Brit GP with the first three grid spots filled by Brits and what looks like traditional British summer weather.

[Gecko]

15 laps in. Max passed Lando on the opening lap but not much else is going on as everybody is waiting on the rain which is due soonish just starting.

[Mr PONYMANIA Mr Jenzie]

HAMILTON LEADS
