    I think they're just trolling us with the best overtake bollocks.

    Max lapping 1 second faster than anyone else!!!! As each race goes by I lose hope of anyone getting close to him. Shouldn't really complain as the other teams have same budget!

    I'm watching rugby.

    this is just on the tablet.

    basically the mclaren is like driving a brick here in drs trim.

    it's fine in non drs but open the wing and it gains nothing.

    piastr8 needs to force it down the inside and not move too early. ram into the back of Hamilton.

    the safety car has basically ruined this race as once the tyres get resolved without another safety car we are looking at a non entity podium race and a race for 10th later.

    Hamilton currently 35 seconds behind Max , and still has to pit, which is another 21 seconds

    Piastri thought he had it done for a second. Poor bugger.

    Probably not in any danger of regretting his decision to leave Mercedes at this point.

    Ferrari need to hire the Haas strat team. Great driving from KMag to enable his team mate to stay in front, his other driving has not been good!

    If Croft doesn’t stop with his Oscar cobblers I’m flying out to Saudi to poke him in the eye.

    so the big soft tyre play ends up 8th and 9th not really close to the kid.

    what an awful race.

    nothing happened up top after a 33kmph speed difference in drs.
