Interesting starting order.

leClerc needs not only a good start but a decent finish to reassert, even if onky in his own mind, his number 1 driver status. Im sure he hasnt enjoyed Sainz queitly getting ahead in the point.

Norris sniffing LeClerc's rear. I don't rate LeClerc myself, and on a good day Norris is easily the measure of him so I'm hoping for good things in the first few laps.

We can be fairly sure the number six starter will finish first, or at least in the top 3.

It'l be also be fun to see if Ramilton and Wuthell trip each other up.

Tsunoda starting well ahead of Ricciardo. He needs to finish like that a few times to keep his stock buoyant with the Gods at RB GmbH.

Lance Stroll...what is he even doing there? We all know he's only there because of Dad, but even Lawrence's protestations are starting to sound a bit squeaky now.

Mercedes have forgotten that if you put lipstick on a pig it's still a pig. Max will be passed before the first round of pit stops, and because he's so much better at tyre management he'll have the luxury of choosing under or overcut rather than being forced into a sub optimal option.

We'll see, the chasing pack is closing in.

He was two positions / 3 tenths behind Alonso. Doesn't seem too bad to me?

Not on race day it isn't Max is still typically winning by 20 second margins, despite backing off to save the powertrain.

What happens in quali seems to matter little to ze Dutchman during the race.

In the qualy for the main race they were making him work harder than usual, had him push the car harder than he usually does and he was making mistakes, its why he lost his pole lap to track limits.

If he'd set the time on the track today, his lap time wouldn't have been deleted. They've added extra width to the white lines in various parts of the track, including where Verstappen exceeded limits in qualifying.

Yes I know, good sprint race for max and Lewis, the floor upgrade seems to be working well.
