    Aston have a different front of floor concept with a double t. Their nose seems to be designed to less as much air under the centre of it and down the floor as possible

    It's fairly clear ferrari have got the engine and stability right but are still not optimised due to masses of porpoising

    They need to stiffen the floor

    This race is giving up some interesting stuff

    First thing I notice is the haas messed up their tyre choice and had no drs but "held off" ricciardo for a couple laps

    Add in how the ferrari just absolutely sailed by ricciardo there while bouncing by.

    Clearly that merc engine is underpowered. Has ro be

    The two mercs are sat doing nothing in 12th and 14th. That adds not only to the fact that the engine is muck the car is unsta le


    Finally that ferrari is amazing, bouncing along horribly and the millisecond the power comes off its absolutely serene through the corners

    Charles could have done with Sainz in front of Perez for tomorrow.

    If Charles can get in front again at the start In the race tomorrow, going on what’s just happened today, I would expect him to pit before Max to get an undercut, as the Red Bull appears to have better tyre wear on the softs.

    I know you're not allowed to say this, but I really don't particularly like George Russell.

    He's so bloody worthy...

    So I'm hoping to start a trend of it being okay not to like him. There we go, the door is open.

    yeah, I know what you mean, I don't dislike him, but I find it hard to warm to him for some reason.

    Worthiness.

    And I know they’re all privileged to some degree or another (and that’s not a reason to dislike someone necessarily), but he’s very ‘Head Boy at Charterhouse’.

    Probably because the media refuse to hype him.

    That was an entertaining sprint. Was worried no overtaking was going to occur
