    Charles quicker than Lewis on Lewis’ favourite track, despite missing pretty much the whole day yesterday. In fairness, Lewis made a bit of an error in the final sector, but the Ferrari looks quick here.

    Shocking Q3 for Lando. Charles ballsed up his last lap.

    What was especially great about the Bath side which beat Leicester today, to clinch their first ever treble, was that there were two players on the pitch whose fathers won trophies back in Bath’s glory days before the game turned professional. Max Ojomoh and Tom de Glanville’s fathers will be very proud tonight.

    Yeah. Slightly frustrating in that he was washed out by Hadjar, but that happens. Great lap from George. Interesting that the medium tyre takes it too.

    God, Max is annoyingly good though.

    Nah. That’s what makes McLaren good - they’re allowed to race. Lando just cocked it up.

    Fab race for Merc.

    I just hope this new rear suspension that Ferrari are meant to be bringing to Silverstone works. Meant to allow them to run the car lower again (they had to raise it after the DSQ on the plank, which has caused a lot of these problems).

    Completely agree and it’s a philosophy that goes way back .
    Williams are the same .

    Mondo Duplantis is just silly in the pole vault. He's just so far ahead of everyone else. He first broke the 6.16m world record in 2020. That record itself was 6 years old, and was the first WR in the mens pole vault for 20 years before that! Since setting the new record of 6.17m in 2020, Duplantis has broken his own record a further 11 times....
    The record now stands at 6.28m which he cleared at the first attempt in the Diamond League yesterday. He continues to break it in tiny increments of 1cm because of all the WR bonuses the sporting events give, as well as the WR bonuses he gets from the various sporting contracts he has with brands. Not to mention breaking a WR so regularly just pushes your profile as a sporting great and all that comes with it.
    I hope we get the opportunity to just see how high he can go one day though while he's at his best. He's 25 now so I assume he's nearing his physical athletic peak over the next few years.

    I love Mondo. A character as well as being the genuine GOAT.

    Absolutely! He's fantastic for the sport and athletics in general. He's the Usain Bolt of pole vault.

    Apparently Lewis collided with a groundhog during yesterday's GP which was the cause of the damage to his car. I mean, come on, how ridiculously unfortunate. Last thing he needed as well.

    Talking of Track and Field, I would love Ingebrigsten to break the 1500m WR at the World Championships this summer.
