    Love the fact Danny Ricc is on your possible winners to choose from haha

    Whilst an upgraded Red Bull might win this by miles, I’ve given Wiley old Fernando the nod as this is a circuit that should suit the characteristics of that Aston Martin.

    I anticipate they will jump McLaren this weekend.

    Ferrari could surprise as well and this similarly could suit them better, whilst Mercedes have had a front wing upgrade for exactly these type of low to medium speed corners.

    If Red Bull win easily here, I think they win every race of the season.

    Quali might be interesting as they all have to use same tyres in each session. The problem is that surely that leaves everyone with same tyres for the race - well al those who do Q3?

    Perez brings out the red flag after 5 mins, not a good look.

    Checo forced to run the hards in Q1 could be an issue for him given his issues warming tyres up.

    What happened to him? Seemed to be starting the season strong, now he's a calamity.

    McLaren's continued pace is encouraging, thought it may have been an outlier in Austria.

    Tyres:
    This weekend each car will only have 11 sets of dry tyres as opposed to the normal 13. Then receive:
    three sets of the white-marked hard tyres - 1 extra
    four sets of the yellow-marked mediums -1 extra
    four sets of the red-marked softs - 4 less

    It is a change from what the drivers have become accustomed to, as usually they would be given:
    two sets of hard tyres
    three sets of mediums
    eight sets of softs.

    Danny Ricc doing well so far beating Yuki by a couple of tenths.

    Who would have thought Lewis would end up top on FP3?

    If I were the rest of the field I would've put my cars out as Max was coming around to start his flying lap.

    Bad strat putting him in traffic - but I'm not sure if he messed up his 'banker' lap or it was track limits, so really team and George making mistakes.
