Formula 1 - Chinese Grand Prix 2024
I continue to disapprove of sprint races. I also disapprove of Alonso thwacking into poor little Carlos!
On the other hand, the race could have gone worse (even if I think this is the race when it started to become clear that McLaren's development team were better than Ferrari's, and that the upgrades weren't) so you know.
Of course, the most important part of the Chinese Grand Prix was that Zhou Guanyu finally got a home grand prix.

Formula 1 2024 - Japanese Grand Prix
It's probably not a good sign that I can't remember anything about the Japanese Grand Prix, even though it is admittedly four months on. My race notes suggest it was bitty and not exciting as well.
Have read up on it using other people's sources, it was one of the ones where McLaren's race strategy was worse than Ferrari's and Leclerc had to rescue a less than good qualifying performance. It may even have been the start of when this year's car started to show it had no go in comparison to the others. Or Ferrari's upgrades weren't as good as the other teams's. Either way, not good!
