    It won’t be counted as a Grand Prix win. Which is why he’s not more excited than he is I guess. Not sure how they tally sprint race wins.

    Yeah, they are looking good for the race. Max on the same tyre with no wing damage will give them a sterner test though. Still, a great opportunity for a Merc win tomorrow.

    Why do they persist with that damn woman Naomi Schiff .

    She’s worse than Suzi Perry ( Who was brilliant when it came to bikes ) .

    There are quite a few women out there that would do a far better job .

    She's only there because of her skin colour and she's a women, women football pundits are even worse.

    ****... Are we really going here?

    Can someone explain why Crofty is still employed then? He's neither female, of color or particular attractive, but he has a job, and he's hopeless.

    ****ing pull your heads out of the ****ing Jurassic period.

    Must agree about crofty.I just can`t stand his incessant shouting at us.We can see what`s happening on the screen without that moron going on and on continually. Another thing that really annoys me is his never ceasing pouring out of facts and figures.Who cares how long it is since Verstappen won a race from 9th position etc.He probably sits up in bed with his record books memorising all the data.

    sorry mate, but that is exactly how she's got that job, by being a non-white female 'racing driver'. Why else would they have a Belgian club racer that drives under a German racing license, who barely scored points in the W series and has no broadcasting experience? She's not there on any kind of merit, Crofty, as much as a dick-head he is, has at least paid his dues. And, at the end of the day, they dropped a cripple so they could put in a black woman because it's worth more 'morality' points. Too bad she isn't a transgender cripple then they could've ticked all the boxes and claimed 'bingo'.
    It's exactly the kind of thing that gives the Trumps of the world an audience.

    Yes , I think her skin colour has quite a bit to it , but that doesn’t bother Me.

    What Does bother me is she is utterly useless and boring .

    I don’t mind Croft , his biggest flaw is trying to be the new Murray with all the excitement etc .

    Forget that Croft , Murray can’t be replaced .

    why not Lee McKenzie , or Jenny Gowe ?

    they would knock the boring one into next week .

    Ferrari are the interesting outsiders I think today. They cook their soft tyres a bit quick but that weakness might be a reason why they can work the mediums into the ideal window today and they may well have the race pace on that tyre that Mercedes don’t have.

    Think they may well have been prematurely written off.

    Quite the gift for Russell.

    Only Perez left to challenge him

    Looks like Max came off worse there. Ham making good progress through the field.

    Using Max's previous logic he was not fully alongside so did Lewis have to give him space?
    OK so I don't like Max but I do think he was at fault.
    Be interesting to see what stewards say - I hope they sort it during the race.
