Stroll is a slamdunk ROTR.
Magnussen's penalty plethora was funny, but he compensated by helping Hass score a point.

You missed Sauber, which funny enough might be the most similar to the Andretti engine in some ways. Both have had great success in other racing disciplines, both will bring a big manufacturer as engine partner, it officially not yet in their first year.

Re: Unusual F1 Stats

With the Abu Dhabi GP now finished, 2023 has become the first year where Lewis Hamilton did not drive a race-winning car. It's the end of a 16 year streak, which is a record he shares with Michael Schumacher.

Re: Infinite Improbability Drive of the Race - Belgium 2023

Yuki Tsunoda is the only one really deserving it today in my opinion. Perhaps Alonso deserves a mention for beating a Mercedes on merit, but it's always a question of whether it's him or the car while Stroll is rather average.
