Well, interesting way in which the order has been shaken up. I still wouldn't write Max off, but if he's being honest about how bad the car felt - and he's clearly not fibbing as he only manged 11th - he might struggle to do his carve-through-the-pack trick unless RB pull a blinder with the set up ovwrnight.

Excellent work by Sainz, who seems to be finding form, and Russell stopped moaning long enough to put in a good result as well. Should be a decent race.

They won't do. Cars are in Parc Ferme conditions once qualifying is over. What they've got is what they've got, and tough sh*t if the car is handling like a supermarket trolley.

They do have limited ability to change the car - tyre pressures, wing angles, engine and transmission mapping etc but if the fundamental platform is flawed then this is like polishing a 💩.

Sainz to win? Or can Ferrari contrive to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory?

I'd like Sainz to win. I think LeBerk is overrated so would be good to see the schpaniard do well.

Fair play to Carlos, well done. Nice work from Norris too.

There's a pattern of past behaviour from RB though. They will learn from this and their response at the next race is liable to be merciless.

Well, if the car miraculously recovers. Is it the track or the rules? Only one way to find out....!


Felt a bit sorry for Russell. Might have been the pressure from Lewis that caused the error - on the flip side Lewis was faster so arguably George should have let him past.
