Sounds like there finally going to let Andretti in? 22 car grid soon?
FIA have approved him - but F1 have not - and several teams are opposed.

McLaren have been an exciting team to watch for the last half of the season.
Norris and Piastri two of the more likable drivers on the grid.
If McLaren improves further & Mercedes can put in the necessary improvements on the new concept they introduced mid season, both teams can challenge RB a bit more, IMO. Maybe not ultimately win but could stop RB from sowing up both titles not even 2/3 of the way through. Ferrari just cant make the same mistakes next season that they’ve consistently made the last 2 seasons. Especially since McLaren & Mercedes seem to be ripe for big improvements.Another boring season with max winning his second title so early in the year. God I hope two or three teams can genuinely challenge for races next season.
Well done by McClaren double podium.
Going to end up catching Aston Martin in the standings at this rate, considering they were driving tractors at the start of the season that would be a hell of an accomplishment.
Didn’t alonso also have problems with a hot bottom?Hearing about the health of the drivers after the race & seeing the pictures, im wondering how the hell F1 thought it was safe to race in those conditions? Lance Stroll stumbling out of his car & stumbling to the ambulance, driver vomiting, drivers fainting after the race, driver having the courage to retire mid race before he fainted in the car. Lando, Oscar & Max just passed out in the podium room. Unbelievably unsafe.
Everytime Merc has a legitimate shot, in comes George Russell to save the day. Just lift your foot & give way to your teammate & lead driver whose fighting for P2. As a driver for a team, your job is to race for your team. Bottas recognized that & gave way when he needed to as it helped the team. Russel still has not realized that & it only hurts him just as much as his team. This isnt Williams, George. You are not the lead driver. Get it through your head already. Wins will come for you. Just as they did Valtteri.
Formula one has, and has always been about the cash. Circuits aren’t selected for their racing potential, the popularity with fans, or indeed the safety of the drivers. It’s all about who will pay to host a race, who will bring the most sponsors, and who will exert enough political influence that localities will bend their laws to cater to the F1 machine.Hearing about the health of the drivers after the race & seeing the pictures, im wondering how the hell F1 thought it was safe to race in those conditions?

Yep. If F1 wasnt solely about money, Watkins Glen would still have a race. Alas, upstate New York’s not Miami or an oil republic.Formula one has, and has always been about the cash.

Sure there are a few legacy tracks that will invariably get selected over and over, but it’s no surprise that the majority of races are held in dictatorships and banana republics.
