Driverless cars at the Speedway! The first part of this video shows the driverless Indy Cars trying to turn laps. No actual racing, they were just trying to get 3 timed laps. Definitely not ready for prime time.

News that Hertz will purchase 100,000 Tesla cars, and that the Tesla Model 3 is the #1 selling car in Europe sent shares of Tesla over $1000 and raised it's market value to 1 trillion dollars. Have we reached the Dawn of the Electric Age?

Heroes:

Max Verstappen put in a great qualifying and race.  He and his team progressed over practice to make sure he had the best car when it counted.  During the race he used an aggressive strategy pitting early, knowing he would lose ground near the end of the race.  In the closing laps he put in perfect laps to keep Hamilton at bay when he had to.

With that said:  Verstappen tried to run Hamilton off the road at the start.  That was unsporting, unsafe, and while not against the rules, maybe should be.  If Hamilton didn't expect Max to pull such a BS move, there would have been a big crash, catching up who knows how many cars.

Hamilton:  drove a great race, Red Bull gave Verstappen a better race car.  Hamilton might've made a few tiny driving mistakes in the closing laps, but it was still a champion's race to be so far ahead of the pack.

Perez:  a strong third.  I think the Red Bull team misunderstood all the 'don't drink and drive' signs around the track.  I doubt that Perez would have been a factor if his drink bottle worked, but I think he would have been in a reasonable distances of Lewis, maybe a late threat for a fast lap.

Zeroes:
Bottas:  not a bad day by most standards, but as the teammate of a WDC contender, there really should be more.  Bottas is capable of doing fantastic things, but just not every time out.

Kimi:  I'm not sure why he spun out of the points, but still said to see Kimi spin out of the points.

France:  Only 3 DNF, but losing both French drivers and both French cars.  C'est dommage .  Even though both Canadians crashed into each other, they still finished!

Not sure:
Gio and Alonso fighting on track, passing off track.  It was entertaining, so 'heroes', but neither driver seemed to think they'd done something wrong, so 'zeroes'.

F1's official survey shows less than 7% liked the sprint race format. Despite that, Domenicali says support from "New Fans" is overwhelmingly positive, and the program will be expanded next season. Sounds like change for the sake of change, or maybe the old We are Never Wrong that the FIA is famous for. Like so many businesses they seem more intent on getting new customers than keeping the old ones.
