    Curious as to why Max hasn’t been done for a false start.

    Norris got done for being over his check mark at the start of a race.

    Not sure if they’ve fixed Charles’ car properly going by that.

    Max is rudely good. Great lap again from Kimi.

    Anyone know why so many teams are using pink in their special colours?
    Sorry if that's an ignorant question, I didn't mean to offend if I have.

    At this moment in time Max is still the best driver on the grid.

    In RedBull/RB’s case it’s a tie in with a special “Summer Peach” flavour they are promoting. Pastel pink is also a colour often associated with Miami, so that’s probably also an underlying reason.

    Sprint turned into a complete lottery - so not much to say about it. Although I think Max deserves some credit for sticking it on pole, I did note that that the RedBull does look really strong in the high speed, although still really poor in the low speed. More a case of Verstappen putting the cherry on top of the cake here than Suzuka, when he clearly made the cake from scratch. Interesting grid for tomorrow given the state of the championship and good to see Kimi continuing his strong weekend after some issues in a difficult sprint.

    Norris should have been a bit smarter and held back, but still it still it's absurd Max doesn't get a penalty for that.

    Rules need to change. I get people didn't want too many penalties, but this "front axle to front axle" guidance is just nonsense.

    Cars never go side by side anymore. Car on the inside goes for the shove 100% of the time.
