Sprint qualifying really needs to go away.

Sprint qualifying really needs to go away. Yes, please. I watched this Sprint thing and thought I wasted my time. Boring.

Well done McLaren getting a one-two.
Now to the crash. I think the blame can be laid at Lewis' feet. He came out of the pits slow and cold, saw Max, veered over to squeeze him and get in front, Max's speed carried him alongside Lewis through the corner, and Lewis almost hit the inside line he squeezed Max so much, but when Max hit the sausage, Lewis relented, opened up, and Max ended up on top of Lewis.
Embarrassing for Ferrari, as the only top team without a win, so far this season.

Stewards see it differently. Three place grid penalty and two points on license for Max.

To race in F1 you have to have a Super License, which has 12 points. You can receive points for driving infractions which remain for 12 months before being removed. If you accrue 12 points in 12 months you can have your license taken away. I agree, I think it's a bit harsh for Max.

Brilliant finish in the MotoGP at Aragon. Bagnai keeping his cool with Marc Marquez bearing down on him for most of the race, forcing the 6x World Champion into an error on the third last corner and winning an epic duel.
Didn't really have an opinion on Bagnaia before that race, but he would have made plenty of fans. Fabio in full conservation mode, staying out of trouble to finish 8th. Even with his closest challengers for the title all finishing ahead of him he still has a handsome 53 point lead.

Well that was an interesting race. I thought the Max and Lewis incident was a racing incident and if it had happened in the 1990's or 2000's it probably would have been left at that but todays rules meant it was Max's fault. He just didn't get a wheel ahead of Lewis who did leave enough room but only just and Max slightly overcooked it on to the sausage curb. At least it made little difference to the outcome of the championship at the top.
I'm happy for McLaren though, i like both Danny and Lando so it was nice to see them and the team really happy. Apha Tauri had a shocker of a meeting!
MotoGP was a great race. It's good to see Marc improving and providing us with the kind of racing he used to before he spannered himself. I'm guilty of not really rating Peco but i may have to change that because he rode a hell of a race. Kudos to Raul in Moto2 winning with a broken hand and Pedro makes his first big mistake in Moto3.

I think the biggest problem is these sausage kerbs. They are dangerous, I have seen cars flying over these things for years now. Sean Gelael broke his back by just riding over one. I do not agree with the grid drop penalty for Max.

Another enjoyable round in the WorldSBK. Was absolutely gutted for Toprak after Race One, but he dug in well on the Sunday to leave with the championship lead. Happy for Rinaldi. Shame that Scott had his Sunday ruined by the accident he got caught up in on the superpole after a good win in Race One. Poor round for Rea in the main races. bit or karma there maybe? Glad to hear Tom Sykes is conscious. Initial scenes were far too similar to Dupasquier for my liking.
Bagnaia got a thrilling win in the MotoGP but it's still Fabio's title to lose from here.

I only saw the highlights of the second day of the World Superbikes races and it didn't show what happened to to Tom. Does anyone know what happened? It just said he was struck by Lucas Mahias but not how. Chaz has broken ribs and is in doubt for next weeks Jerez round and i seem to remember Lucas was involved in that crash too!
WSBK and Indy Car provided us with some brilliant racing, the best of the weekend by far.. The coverage of MotoGP on BT Sport is getting so bad now i'm not really enjoying it anymore. Bastianini did well on his GP19 and Raul rode amazingly well again in Moto2 with a broken hand. Acosta seems to losing his mojo in Moto3.

They didn't show the incident during the coverage and I haven't found any on line. Or you could see was Tom lying prone next to his bike with a concerned Mahais standing over him gesturing frantically for paramedics. He was unconscious when they loaded him onto the ambulance but has apparently regained consciousness now. There were a lot of guys getting hit by bikes across the 7 races. Far more than you usually see.

For all the talk from Lewis about Max dealing with the pressure, looks like he's the one who's feeling it, when none is being exerted.
