Nico was great as a commentator.

Solid insight, good comedic timing, etc.

Never a fan as a driver, huge fan of him as a human.

He was underrated. More often than not Nico was right there with HAM. Meanwhile BOT is routinely .4 or .5 seconds adrift.

ROS really surprised me with his insights. I didn't listen to him at all as a driver, I skipped over nearly all of his interviews - podium or otherwise. But he was great today - sharing insights we wouldn't have heard from anyone other than a very recent driver.

Thus far I have not been able to find a stable stream for Bathurst. Sucks too because judging by the bit I was able to see weather is a factor.

Yeah it looks like a cracker of a day there. Couldn't see a cloud in the Sky from pit lane. I wonder how this is going to impact the Merc. If VET could jump HAM at the start the Bulls would be there waiting to pounce. I don't think that will happen doe. HAM has pretty much been money on his starts this year.

I can see VER winning this race. HAM will want no part of fighting with Max and he's gonna turn down the PU a bit. Be interesting to see what happens.

VSC out even though the gap between HAM and VER was growing.

Ferrari is trying to fix VET engine!

Man does NBC suck. BOT locks up and VER moves to the inside at the hairpin and they cut to commercial.

The Sky team is good, they just get a little too excited for me at times. Get all shouty when something crazy is going on.

What a waste of that second Ferrari seat. Ferrari only has one gun in the fight most of the time.

Verstappen is ON IT lately.

Again Rosberg was ACE as a commentator.

Bought general admission tickets for Montreal next summer. Only $19.78 today. Couldn't pass that up, don't even care if view isn't great.

It was fun while it lasted.
