It was great to see the sprint race post being quite lively yesterday compared to what I’ve seen previously around here.
Hope the pace keeps up and we get some good content here today.
Also, go Oscar! Been waiting sooo long to see my team back at the front.
Sprint races are pretty good for people that are not so much into F1, it was lively enough for my gf to be able to watch the entire 11 laps without being bored! It’s a different pleasure, less long term strategy and more track action! :)
Let’s go Oscar! Not sure how the McLaren is gonna hold up on race pace tbh, but hoping for a good result nonetheless.
Well…
I was not amused
Let’s go. Need some excitement. That snap for VER was scary.
VER > PER gap now same as PER > LEC gap.
Perez really not getting everything out of that car.
Max already 2 seconds ahead.
Wicked driving from Max. Who could compete with him in the RB? Because it ain’t Sergio…
Why the hell did McLaren pit, surely another 2-3 laps on slower tires before the rain would have been faster
Is this normally an undercut or an overcut circuit?
Tsunoda up to 6th. Wow.
Do you guys think they’ll retire Sainz once he falls out of points?
Yuki heard people praising Daniel yesterday I guess. He’s had a blistering start.
I’m late to this comment thread but I was shocked they didn’t retire him at the first pit stop. He fell nearly all the way back, surely they would have known he wasn’t going to recover and get into the points. Why put more time/wear on components at that point?
He’s looks good so far. Definitely a good chance for points if he keeps the car on track.
I’d be surprised if he continues much longer tbh
Colour me surprised…
Ferrari: “Hold my carbon fiber.”
Starting grid accounting for Max and Magnussen penalties

Poor hulk
Nice one, Albon!
I say this every GP… Max is too fucking good
Max gonna be so pissed if Lewis takes his fastest lap
We will see in a Minute
So… um… Daniel Ricciardo
Does Tsunoda have car improvements he doesn’t or something?
Riccardo had his Quali time deleted so he started 19th
Ricciardo had a trash starting position due to track limits during quali and Tsunoda also has a lot more experience with this car than Ricciardo. Tsunoda just had an incredible race.
Shall I push on and we do some pit stop training?
Is Max bored
