    Fantastic to hear the reaction as he crossed the line.

    On pace too, no tyre differences to worry about there.

    Feels so odd watching this on a Friday evening. Set up for an interesting finish here. For the sake of an interesting season I hope these Merc upgrades are decent.

    Russell really does look like the real deal. So great watching the crowd lap this up.

    Lewis makes rare mistake but still faster than Max. This should be a good race, OH hold on this is just the grid for the sprint race :)

    He seems to have the pace but, so far, he's choked under pressure and crashed nearly every time he looked on for a point

    Parc Feme was after first session today!!! So sprint quali was under Parc Ferme!!! So no tweaking other than wing and tyre pressure.

    CORRECTION: Parc Ferme started at beginning of Sprint Quali not at end of Practice 1.
