Well Fernando’s not going to be a happy boy.

 

Strololololol strikes again

 

Will Stroll every learn to drive properly?

 

Nearly a 2 second gap already. Sheesh.

 

Cost Alonso 2 places to the Mercedes to

 

amazing.

falls off track on formation lap.

not holding wheel properly with left hand.

rams own team mate.

bundle says he's done well to get to 8th as he lined up. are sky paid off by daddy or afraid he will cut their claccess if they criticise daddy's boy?

 

perez v leclerc is the race already.

Once that happens only out stops can save the race.

 

sainz out of it.

 

Mercs 12.5s behind after only 8 laps…running 2 seconds a lap slower than Max….

 

Red bull probably just under control

Ferrari to pin of collar here to stay ahead and tyres are probably going to fall off a cliff. perez not delivering imo

Hamilton is holding up Russell and just doing nothing

Aston are slowly closing in after **** start.

 

OK maybe Red Bull are that far ahead of the field. This could get embarrassing

 

Martin’s lost it. Keeps referring to the Mercs as Williams.

 

they are all bloody black.

an old man with bad eyes couldn't tell the difference I bet.

 

I do wonder if Toto's comments on changing sidepods is mainly due to Aston and how quick they are using the same PU? I do wonder how much Merc and Aston talk to each other?

 

merc going hard obviously

 

I sincerely doubt they talk at all.

I presume a very limited and defined set of specs are shared by merc with the engine and bits and bobs for Aston to use and that is that.

as we all know ferrari seem to share more with haas.

 

Nice little battle there between George and Alonso.

 

Galliant effort George

 

You may be right but remember the 'Pink Merc'?

 

Good racing.

proper effort by Russell but fair as fair can be.

if he cheated and wiggled it like ocon he would be OK I guess but in the end all he did was cost himself time there.

I'm glad he gave it a go for our entertainment
