    Crashing twice in one lap is quite impressive to be fair.

    And Aston are talking about replacing Seb! I think they are looking at the wrong driver to dump! Oh maybe they want a driver who doesn't show how poor stroll is?

    Neither of them are setting the world on fire to be fair.

    True but Seb is only 0.5 sec off pole, stroll was 2 seconds behind Seb!

    Hamilton really isn't getting to grips with this car is he?

    Unless Seb can crash it again, he's still not as good as Strololoolol.

    Those Aston front wings have some strength in them!

    Pretty good chance Hamilton could have that lap wiped I think.

    Did they give each other a tow there?

    McLaren really chucking it all away down the straights - so disappointing that they couldn’t improve their low-medium cornering this year without losing their major strength, but that’s where we are.

    They were mighty in a straight line and at high speed last year

    He was getting a bit of a tow off Russell to get him out of the drop. But since he was dawdling on his out lap to let Russell passed, he might get in a bit of bother.

    Gotta love the amount of drifting on these cars.

    5th and a second and a half off the pace... I'd hardly call that alright for Merc.

    When horner was interviewed it seems like Max thought he was going to get a tow from Perez. Horner was suggesting that max was supposed to tow Perez!
    Not a consistent message.
    I think Horner is, once again, saying he will support who ever is in front but doing something different.
    Not a shock that he is supporting Max, but he should be up front about it.

    Yeah, radio message from Max also suggested he was expecting a tow. Not like Horner to be dodgy!

    Charles is so, so good over a lap, but I fear RBR are going to do them over with race pace, and their speed on the straight. Hoping I’m wrong though.

    If perez screwed over the brat, them fair play to him.

    He should have 2 race wins now not 1.

    So putting verstappen behind him here is genius.

    Things I found more interesting at this one.

    Alpha tauri both cars are up there.

    Ferrari
    Redbull
    Ferrari
    Redbull
    Merc
    Tauri
    Merc
    Tauri
    Aston!!!

    I'd expected the merc to struggle more here but bottas and kmag were nowhere.

    The mclarens did as expected struggle.big time but the baby ferraris didn't show up.

    I'd love to see the speed trap data for who was fastest down the straight.
