    For some reason I don’t think Merc will be top 6 on the grid. It might be a struggle to even make Q3

    Would love it in one sense, Max would continue, he is not a team player in racing.

    Think top 8 may be tough to achieve too. I think we have all wanted this shake up even though I want Lewis to get his 8th before he retires.

    The helmet cam really gives you the drivers eye view of how narrow this track is! Barriers look mega close!

    I fear Lewis will lose his record of winning a race every year unless there is a major breakthrough from Merc.

    Reminds me a lot of his 2009 McLaren year.

    Team went late into title battle in 2008 and then were off pace 2009 before improving later in the season and being competitive 2010,2011,2012.

    Ferrari look better than red bull despite all indications being that red bull are quicker

    Red bull are light on df.

    Merc are awful. Every single engine down on power across the grid. This is reminding me of how mclaren vanished for years after the hakkinen years.

    Didn't see that coming. They must have something completely wrong on the setup there. Sheesh.

    The Merc really is a dog. Russell may be 4th but it’s almost a second off Sainz when the engine is not turned up to the max.
