Going up and down like a roller coaster! Portuguese GP 2020



The race was actually really enjoyable to watch. The action may have been limited to certain points of the track and all. But, it was fun to watch the battle for the lead. And Carlos Sainz leading the grand prix!! Seeing that McLaren on the front row for the short amount of time it was fist raising in all it glory!




The first lap was where most of the action came out of, and it seemed like no one could get their tires to warm up. Except the McLaren's and good old Kimi.

Kimi start to the race was crazy! That first lap was like watching someone who is an expert on the F1 game, play against 10% level AI. He went from like 16th to 9th in the first lap. That start was pure, unadulterated racing! He showed everyone why the Iceman is still ready to race.



For a minute to I thought Bottas was gonna take the win from Lewis. He made a great move up into first at the start of the race and stuck it to Hamilton. Then with a slight tinge of embarrassment he gets past by Carlos in a McLaren. Now, when Carlos made that move on him and got the lead. Even though I knew it wouldn't last for long and be probably wouldn't win. I still raised my fist and jumped up and down! Not ashamed to admit it. Also, cool to see as I was given an opportunity to be apart of the McLaren Slipstream broadcast prior to the race. So, seeing the McLaren do so well after being apart of that was outstanding.

Now, let's talk about my favorite team Red Bull. So, Max put in another podium worthy performance. But, let's be real unless he has some car troubles this year he will always be on the podium. His start was great, but I think he fell asleep and let Bottas get through on him. Which I think compromised his chance at 2nd. Now, let's get to Alex Albon… I like him as a person and a driver. But, is he performing where he should be now that he has been in

that car a year? I don't know I wanna say yeah keep him. However, I wanna see Red Bull win more, win constructor championships and win world titles. So, if I was Red Bull I would be thinking about looking for someone who could at least compete for podiums and points.




92 wins! It is truly great achievement from a driver and even if he is in a Mercedes. He has won in others prior to his new commanding reign over the sport. So, I may not enjoy watching them win all the time. You can't really dismiss it.
