| Kouya just loves using his camera LOL, especially in this episode. Can't blame him though since it's part of his job. I also kinda like Haruka's renewed confidence, almost like he is a changed man. Only two episode left but their relationship is one of the more underrated elements of the show. |

| Ouch, that was a close one for Haruka. Guess that the podium celebration is kept for the last 2 episodes |
| Komaki Motors without Haruka is a waste with the F4 car sitting in the garage, but him turning Belsorriso down, it's probably for the best. Haruka's trip to Tohoku, it certainly is a long-winded story about Kouya, but the most important thing is that Haruka wants to take it one step at a time and slowly going pro, there is no rush. Saeki coming to see her ex to see how he fares now, she certainly has her regrets that with Haruka, clears up their marriage's misunderstandings about each other. Even Toshiki feels like driving together with Haruka only backfires his performance while Satsuki continues his rehab with Alice, because he doesn't want to stop at F4 and go all the way to F1. To Ena, Haruka is the only one who can give Toshiki a push as well, not the other replacement drivers like Yuitani. On the Suzuka racecourse, Haruka starts 14th, as well as both Belsorriso drivers Yuitani and Toshiki in the top 2 places, though the former lost his grip and lagged behind while the latter waited for Haruka to attack his 1st place spot for a fighting finish. But as soon as his tyres start giving way, Haruka subsequently lost the podium's spot. Never Say Never...though when will Haruka ever climb his way up to the winner's podium? |

| Haruka nearly got on the podium just a shame his tyres didn't last am really hoping we get to see him on the podium soon |
| Shame about the tires, but this just shows how Tokumaru kinda sucks |
 |
| I assume Satsuki is basically out of the race unless the anime time skips at some point. Also honestly the previous episode feels like a fever dream after coming back to the usual stuff lol. |
 |
| I knew Haruka would reject Belsorisso. Especially after everything with Kouya last week, no way he’d sell out Komaki motors. Even though they’re not the richest and most glamorous team, they’ve got heart and you can’t buy that. Sadly, the small club aspect is very important when it comes to racing because that means they can’t afford the best quality supplies. Really came back to haunt them today with the tires failing Haruka. He was so close to the podium as well, definitely a heartbreaking loss. But at the same time, it’s not about how many times you fall, but how many you get up. Haruka seems like he got an idea from this failure and can use it to improve. They’re clearly saving that podium picture for the last episode or so and no complaints from me. It’ll make it that much sweeter when Komaki motors finally get over that hump. |

| Another perfect episode, with "everything's back to normal", and juggling everyone's perspectives on their respective positions, and even some racing at the end. Tokumaru really needs to find his center and resolve, but at the same time he just puts on display how people can win even if they're not actually the best. Sae-chan, please, nothing worth stealing in Madoka's apartment??? That's just bad even as a joke, you two were married, you should be well aware of how frickin' expensive all that camera equipment is, come on.... and on that note, Madoka really should be less absentminded about locking his place up. Haru still has the sexiest grid girl too. Pfft. xD |

I think a podium is bound to happen, it’s just which place will Haruka be? 1st, 2nd, or 3rd (with our No.1 talented playboy back on grid), this will be quite an important choice for the story.
Saeki said in this episode that race is race and proposal is proposal, would be fun if they decide to do a ‘oh this has totally not aged well moment’ where she ends up so excited and repropose marriage to Kouya when Haruka finally succeeds 😂

| Yes, Haruka sticking with Komaki Motors was predictable, considering the feel of the show. I'm not disappointed, and hope someone will sponsor them after all. It really seems like it's the only major obstacle for Haruka so far. Tokumaru acted somewhat unprofessional there, no? Putting another teammate on the spot like that without even practising this arrangement before. He gives off heavy jelly vibes, and kinda makes you want not to root for him. The other racer, who is in the hospital is way more likeable even though he seemed more like a cliché poster boy at first. |
  |
| Man if Komaki Motors had not lost that sponsor they would've had better tires which would've helped Haruka for sure. Hopefully they'll either find another sponsor or will figure out a way to overcome the tire issue since Haruka is so close to reaching the podium. |
| welp, not this time huh. |
 |
| DAMN, Haruka didn't win. i was hoping at least 3rd place. |
Oh look Formula Racing anime has Formula Racing Haruka shouldn't had a chance if it weren't for everyone's mistakes tbh lmao. tho he was kissing the edge so much so it felt like the other drivers are just on easy mode NPC. |
| Seriously, those tires ruined the opportunity. |
 |
| Losing the race because of the tires...that's frustrating, he had a great occasion to win :/ |
 |
| And another episode where Haruka almost made it to the podium teehee But we only got two episodes left so we might be seeing him win very soon.. |
| The tires have been the key! kekeke |
| Practice was at Fuji but race was at Suzuka? Did they skip an entire race without acknowledging it or did the showrunners just completely forget what they were doing? |
