Anthem watch:
A slow, dirge as befitting an old, dignified former-empire.
The words translate to: "we're dead posh and you're all peasants / toil away and give us your gold / or else we'll slaughter everyone of you / cringing curs, now do as you're told. Tra-la!

Well done Max... again.
Nice to see two Red Bulls on the podium.

I'm trying to change the bet I have for next season, maybe who finishes 10th or something like that 
I can't see any team catching Red Bull until the big change in 2026.
Red Bull are 30 seconds ahead of all the other teams and I can't remember teams closing a gap that big without a massive rule change.
I'm still well ahead with Lewis over the last few years but by 2026 I think I could be well behind ( Ķ”Ā° ĶŹ Ķ”Ā°)

From what Lewis was saying during his post race interview I think there is a battle behind the scenes over which way to develop the car. Lewis seems to want to develop the floor while others appear to want to develop other areas, it will be interesting to see how this moves forward.
Clearly the ground effect is far better with the Red Bull and 80% of that comes from the floor, all the teams have seen the floor of the Red Bull 'cos of Monaco, maybe they don't fully understand it yet but they have had time. Maybe the cost cap has come into play and we'll have to wait for next season to see the floor changes.

The incredible cost of Max Verstappenās smashed trophy
Max Verstappen is expected to receive a new trophy for winning the F1 Hungarian Grand Prix after the original was smashed during celebrations. The trophy cost ā¬40,000 (Ā£35,000 / $44,000) to be hand-made and the production time is approximately six months! Lando Norris caused the trophy to fall off the podium and smash as he started spraying champagne. Norris and Verstappen then jokingly blamed each other for the accident, but Verstappen will receive a newly-created trophy after the manufacturers promised to fast-track production of a replacement.Attila Simon, CEO of the manufacturing company said "The teams will decide who was to blame, but we will take on the happy and heavy burden and manufacture it again." Verstappen can expect to receive his replacement trophy within weeks, not months.

F1 threatens obstructions and barricades unless Las Vegas hotels pay to view grand prix
Vegas hotel and casino owners are claiming their views of the circuit will be intentionally blocked by F1, unless they agree to pay massive sums of money for the licence to watch it, The New York Post report. The Vegas Grand Prix is set for November 18 and is perhaps the standout date on the 2023 F1 calendar. Venues in Vegas that overlook the circuit will be charged $1,500-per-person - or face āobstructions like barricades, stands and light stanchionsā blocking their views, the report states.āThey are literally shaking people down saying they will obstruct views unless they pay them,ā an anonymous casino owner was quoted. āIt seems insane that they are asking money for a public event that is taking place in the streets.ā A different source was quoted: āThere is a real chance of obstructing views with stands and barricades. I know the hotels are upset about it and they are trying to figure out if theyāll play along.ā
Major Vegas hotspots like the Venetian and the Wynn are paying between $2m-$10m to be official race sponsors. F1ās demands are perfectly legal, another source confirmed: āThey own the right to the race so it would be hard for a venue to prove damages.ā Liberty Media, owners of F1, spent $240m on 39 acres of land in Vegas where they have been building a new circuit and paddock area - a different strategy to usual, where they work with a local promoter of a circuit. They hope for $500m of revenue from this yearās race. A ācheapā three-day ticket for an F1 fan in Vegas will cost approximately $500, with high-end packages worth $15,000. F1 will recoup big fees from the major Vegas casinos and hotels, and big brands, who sponsor the grand prix.
[I'm not sure how long F1 will last in Las Vegas if they play games like this with the big hotels, I have friends who live in Vegas and they tell me that the people who live there are going crazy about the disruption this race is causing, it started about 3 months ago and will continue until mid-November. F1 is just one event and all the hotels there have massive conventions for the rest of the year which bring in far more money than F1 will for the city
They are doing this with Monaco from next year, they have said that everyone who is on a boat will have to pay $300 for a ticket. A berth during F1 season costs ā¬3,500 per night, with the finest berths costing as much as ā¬100,000 for five days.]

Italian media brands Ferrari āa shrimp in retreatā
Ferrari came under fire from Italian media following the Hungarian GP, where its drivers finished eighth and seventh respectively. Italian media sources, known for usually being partisan to the Scuderia, put them on blast. The Corriere della Sera newspaper gave Ferrari just 4 out of 10 stars for the weekendās showing. It claimed that: āThe (Ferrari) red is no longer that of glorious victories, but of a shrimp in retreat.āCorriere della Sera gave Charles Leclerc, who finished above his teammate Carlos Sainz, a five out of ten rating. The Monegasque driver had to end his weekend denying rumours that he was ādemotivated.ā The newspaper stated: āHe got another penalty, this time for speeding in the pitlane. He goes from sixth to seventh in the race. The first pitstop failed due to a malfunctioning wheel gun. In short, in one way or another, itās not his time and it sure isnāt this season.ā
Leo Turrini, one of Italyās most experienced and renowned journalists, noted the timing of this poor performance by the Scuderia. He pointed out it came on the anniversary of Ferrariās back-to-back wins last July, when the team claimed pole positions at the British and Austrian GPs. In his column in the Quotidiano Nazionale, Turrini wrote: āIt seemed like the beginning of a red era. Itās been 12 months and the backwards step is now sensationally stark. All indices are negative. The depressing truth is that this Ferrari we see inflicts very hard blows on the passion of those who love it. Because we donāt see the turning point. No one expects miracles like overtaking Max Verstappenās flying Red Bull. But beaten by the Alfa-Saubers in qualifying and looking at McLaren and Mercedes through binoculars in the race is a bit much.ā
Turrini went on to question what the top brass at Ferrari was doing about the situation, calling out CEO John Elkann, among others. Former F1 driver, Vitaly Petrov, agrees with Turriniās pessimistic views on Ferrariās future. Petrov said: āWhat plans they have, what they are doing, no one knows. All of them complain about the different tyres or about updates that donāt work properly. Itās possible that Ferrari is already preparing for next year. But what is clearer is that no one will talk about it openly.ā
