      2 Grand Prix races finished already. I'd forgotten what Shanghai International Circuit looked like; cool track.

      Not as exciting as Melbourne, but that's probably because the rain really spiced up AusGP at the end. Some thoughts as I watched:

      • Alonso retired due to break issues in Lap 5. Not a great start to the season
      • Weird to see Max lose two spots at the start of the first lap and not immediately recover
      • Poor Yuki with his broken frontwing. Broke out of nowhere, too. Man just can't catch a break...
      • Great little fight between Charles and Max in Lap 53. Max did eventually recover to his starting P4
      • Both Haas in the points? Nice! Ocon P7 and Bearman P10

      Congrats to Piastri on his 3rd F1 win! I get the feeling we're going to be seeing this McLaren 1-2 frequently. Who's in which position, we'll see. Though with the Ferraris, Russell, and Max also mixing it up up top, this should be a good season.

      Safety cars made that more interesting than it might've been. I was hoping for some rain!

      Feel bad for RB (VCARB). Yuki had a poor weekend of course, but Daniel was doing pretty good today, until Stroll rear-ended him before the restart of the first SC. Both DNF'd.

      Sainz and Checo did alright, but I was expecting more from them both.

      Norris did great (and was DOTD), but my personal DOTD was Alonso, especially after his crazy save.
