    It will be interesting to see who has made improvements over the summer break.
    Can McLaren keep up their upgrades, will Merc have made gains now they appear to have a better understanding. Will Aston have worked out what's wrong!
    Have Ferrari discovered their issues, have Red Bull made some improvements?
    Might be an interesting few races.

    Sargent red flags FP3 bu putting his wheel on the grass. He won't be in qualifying, not that it'll make much difference to his starting position.

    He must be costing Williams a huge amount in repairs let alone the odd lost point here and there. I am slightly surprised he's still in the seat after the summer break. Hopefully he brings lots of ££££ in sponsorship and Williams have a clause where he pays for the damage in his contract.

    Can you imagine him and Perez in a team together,they`d run out of parts and money in no time.?
    That looks like a $1 million crash.

    I think Russell did very well to be anywhere close.

    The track rubbers in and mercs vanish.

    Massive amount of upgrades on the macca yet the press say lando pipped the brat.

    Lando had a massive gap relatively speaking.

    If piastri can come into play here I think we can have a very good result in putting tje brat back in hos box.

    Hamilton handed a 3 place grid penalty for hindering Perez .

    Albon disqualified from qualifying .

    The floor of his car was not compliant with FIA’s legality checks .

    The floor was one of Williams upgrades .
