Also isn't it crazy driving a car at 300kph and feeling yourself passing out and losing it and not thinking "I should stop"? I wonder how much of that is due to this sport being absolutely ridiculously insane and how much of that is due to dehydration itself

This is so funny to me!
Picture this: Daniel Ricciardo’s hand has healed fully now that enough time has passed, and he randomly decides one day “You know what? I’m gonna take another week off!”, then proceeds to phone Liam Lawson completely out of the blue just to tell him he can have another spin out on track.
I don’t know if it was because Danny Ric doesn’t like Qatar as a circuit or if it was out of pure laziness or both. But I like his attitude. It’s a classic “I can’t come into school because of x” excuse. God, I love this man!

Hey see, what Oscar did today works nicely with that conversation we've been having after the last GP about how young drivers tend to fare when they get to the front of the pack.
Except he did precisely the opposite of what most of them tend to do : he was patient, he did not rush, he did not let it get to his head. So he did not make mistakes. That's impressive af and even more so as he is so very young.
It's also exactly what was said in Al's post I rbd earlier : being level-headed is a huge strength.

OSCAAAAAAARRRRRRR!!! LEZ GOOOOOO!!!!!
Also McLaren 1-2! GIDDIN THERE!!!!!!!

The margin is tight tight tight! A fantastic result from the McLaren boys. But with Verstappen looming over them, I’m not sure they’re likely to hold onto their positions for very long. My mind says they will, but my gut says they won’t. I’m having an angel and devil situation over here!
I’m actually looking forward to this, and I don’t normally like sprint weekends! WHAT IS GOING ON!?!?!?

"I have absolutely no doubt we will see a woman driving in Formula 1 one day."
"And what everybody doesn't know -- I know your lap times when you were testing and I can tell the little secret that you were Rapid compared to the official test driver! [...] you were super rapid!"
Nico Rosberg interviews Jessica Hawkins, the first female F1 test driver in five years, and reveals she was faster than Drugovich 🫢
I love when nico uses his paddock immunity for good, like how did he gain this info and no one can punish him for leaking it 😭

Mad respect for the Williams crew that were reassuring Logan that there is no shame in retiring the car and looking after his own health.

laundry list of lusail track's sins:
the FIA changes track limits on turns 12/13 by around 80 cm to try limit damage to tyres (this leads to the addition of an extra 10 minute practice session directly before qualifying for the sprint race. on a weekend with only 1 hour of free practice anyway)
the FIA implements limit of a maximum of 18 laps on any 1 set of tyres due to the curbs & track surface literally shaking the tyres to the point of structural damage (this leads to a minimum of 3 pitstops for all drivers during the race)
nico rosberg reports that pirelli informed the FIA of possible tyre issues in Qatar and the warning was reportedly ignored (he revealed this live on Sky F1)
george russel opens his visor during pitstops to try get some air onto his face
both george russel and lando norris are recorded fanning themselves and steering with their wrists at 300 km/hr down the main straight due to heat
george russel reports after the race that he felt as though he was going to pass out multiple times. he felt as though he was in a sauna from around lap 20, except he had no way to escape the heat as someone in a sauna can
logan sargeant retired due to feeling ill, likely exacerbated due to the heat. he was carried out of the garage by his mechanics
max verstappen and oscar piastri are both unable to remain standing in the cool down room after finishing ("does anyone have a wheelchair?")
alex albon has to be helped out of his car after finishing the race
alex albon was then taken to the medical centre and treated for acute heat exposure
fernando alonso asks for water to be poured on him during a pit stop as his 'seat is burning' him
fernando alonso then reports after the race that he has a legitimate burn on the left side of his ass due to the heat
esteban ocon reports beginning throwing up in his helmet on lap 15, and this then continuing for two laps (and does so only at the end of the race)
lance stroll is taken in an ambulance for medical attention after finishing the race
lance stroll then says that he ended up with so many track limits infringements within the last five laps because of the fact that he could no longer see the white line due to how often he was passing out in high speed corners
valtteri bottas described the race as "torture" after finishing
yuki tsunoda reports that he opened his visor to try to cool down his face and instead of air, sand flew in
charles leclerc says he saw many drivers appearing seriously unwell in parc ferme after the race
charles leclerc also describes the race as being "twice as bad as singapore"
nico hulkenberg left the media pen after only two questions as he desperately needed to cool down
lando norris reports that 2 or 3 drivers took themselves to the medical centre because of dehydration concerns. several fainted once inside
jack doohan says that the lack of action and radio messages during the race is likely due to the lapses in cognition from severe dehydration due to heat

Idk I think if Lewis wants to faint for shits and giggles he can do that on his own free time and leave other people out of it
