    Looks like top 11 who started on odd numbered grid slots lost at least 1 place on the start!!

    Piastri disappointing here.

    Mercs are not in this at all.

    Piastri has to push now for 2nd place.

    Leclerc is just sat there at Russel pace.

    Clearly the macca is the best car.

    Top 8 will soon be lined up when Hamilton sails.by gasly.

    Don't think Lewis will pass Gasly, his tyres look done now.
    edit: and now he pits.

    Russell just sitting doing nothing, minding tyres.

    Piastri to busy defending to push

    And what do ferrari do? Go early and go for one stop and probably **** the race

    Russell absolutely dawdled in and then the front right was as slow as sin.

    Not sure what Mercs thinking was for the soft tyre stops, trying to gain more wind tunnel time for next season?

    They were good in the early stint for Hamilton

    Anyway. Piastri. Disappointing.

    Bit thingies maccas and norris some good points over red bull but disappointed thry didn't go 1/2 if one car can ne 20 seconds ahead of the next car.

    They were caught out by Ferrari doing something right strategy wise, and not even the Oracle of Delphi could've foreseen that!

    Why has Hamilton suddenly slowed down so that he wouldn’t overtake Russell?

    It's a shame for Ferrari that their qualifying was so bad, they had a good race car, both had good recovery drives.

    There's 8 points over Max. Gotta keep those numbers up from here to the end of the season. :)

    Crushing from Norris despite the classic start hiccups.

    Such a shame that he and the team couldn't optimise the first half of the year a little better. The title chase could have been on.

    Disappointing day for Piastri not to make the podium with a dominant car.
