Toyota wins another race. Hamlin wins his 3rd in a row.
Oh, dang. Was this the Pocono race? I’m still recovering from watching the 24 Hours of Le Mans and totally forgot this was happening today. I love Pocono. Such a unique track.
 
As usual I'm like surely, SURELY this finally has to be Hamlin's year doesn't it? He's NASCAR's Dani Pedrosa, the guy who's been excelling all his career but never quite won the big title. I used to hate him, but in recent years and listening to his podcast sometimes I like him a lot more. What he went through in the off season, losing his Dad in a house fire, it's seriously impressive how high his performance level has been and I think he's retiring at the end of '27 too, so two more chances to get the elusive title - I'm kinda willing him on these days.

It was his last year until that horrendous call like 5 miles from his first championship :indiff:

But hey, if Sir Lewis Hamilton can finally win a race with Ferrari, and with this new format benefiting guys like him who are consistent as hell, maybe this year can be his year :sly:
