I'd like to see Sainz and Riccardo do well this year and fight for podiums and wins. Verstappen is sure taking advantage of his situation at the moment!

Tsunodo in the Alpha Tauri showing excellent pace !

Mclaren looking good with both cars . Ferrari fast but on soft tires . No surprise Mercedes pace is improved.

Perez, Ocon, and Vettel....OUCH!

McLaren looking like they're going to be shooting for 4th in the Championship, even if they get a podium or two. Ferrari has jumped them to rejoin RB and Merc in the title fight.

Wow. Didn't watch, but looked at the results. What happened to Vettel?

Mazepin brought out 2 or 3 yellow flags, Vettel got caught having to slow down and lost his best time, which still wasn't great. He his not at a good place.

Looking at the top five, Is Red Bull wondering if they need to rethink the way they pressurize their second driver? It feels like PG has unleashed the Kraken on his old boss...either that or he's learned all the tricks of the AT. Or both.

Great qualifying sessions. I'm hoping this is an anomaly for Seb.

To add insult to injury Vettel has been given a 5 grid penalty for a yellow flag infringement . So he starts last today .

Well, at least Seb can look forward to the fact no one will be able to overtake him at the start.
His race can only get better from 20th on the grid.

Best

Excellent start by Mazepin ......... made it a solid three turns 😁

Mazespin living up to his nickname.
Is he the new Crashtor Maldonado?
Mazespin is the new Joker card, expect random yellow sectors.

Yawn. Beginning to question why I watch anymore. Sure it was closer but ugh.
So race control can't be bothered to enforce track limits until the pass by Max. And who was on the radio immediately to complain...
The pre race We Race as One bollocks was way too much. If they race as one, why does one driver have a different tshirt???

Now we know the real race pace . A 9th place finish for Tsunodo he looks like the real deal . Good race for McLaren and Ferrari .

Oh yeah...
Bottas being disappointed and thinking that he can win the whole enchilada is just getting old. I guess its good to aim high but it's more like he over estimates his ability and chances

A race to the end. Kudos to max for giving back the position. Surprised he seemed to lack pace after that.

Hamilton did a great job managing tires.

Well that was two hours I won’t get back. Just can’t believe with all the money spent only two teams can get it right. Epic and fantastic are what the announcers called it. Seems a reach

Leclerc might be the real deal. Ferrari is going in the right direction. Honda needs to find some more horsepower. Christian needs to be a little sharper.

I agree, race control needed to penalize Hami for all the times he went wide on that one turn (4?) all those times when he wasn't 'forced to'. If Max hadn't gone wide he would have crashed them both out as Hami wasn't about to 'give' no matter what.

Max did as he was told but was he correct to say he should have stayed out and stretched a 5 sec gap? Would he have won, or would stewards given a 10 sec penalty?

The interwebs consensus is the maFIA would have found a way to penalize Max just enough to give Hammy the win.

I saw a replay and it appears that Hammy wasn't totally on track during the pass either
