The Friday sessions are supposed to be later to help fit in with people finishing work

As for me I don’t really go out of my way to watch qualifying but I would to watch the sprint race

Looking forward to it, I expect the sprint races will be the highlight of the weekend.

Sounds shit, but I hope it isn't

Turkey back in. Pray to the rain Gods, it's was chuffin' ace last year.

More ad breaks I guess

Horner is a grade A bellend. Just listening to him on the pit wall that it’s unsporting to use Perez to hold up Hamilton and they wouldn’t do that. Except that’s what they ordered Perez to do by extending his stint twice until Hamilton passed him then pitted him immediately...
Ironically for the smarmy cunt Perez gave Hamilton a DRS boost which actually increased the gap...

Bit of a yawn-fest today. I enjoyed FA getting some points on merit...but ultimately not a lot else held my attention. Rain in Spain?

Mazepin showed he shouldn’t be there yet again

Just got the tv on. It seems that Catalunya was so boring that they’ve reprofiled turn 10 and made it a much faster corner thus reducing overtaking opportunities even more. Erm what

FE at Monaco was cool, fun race.

Saw a bit of this, was it exciting? Lewis had to work?

Another Mercedes + Hamilton masterclass. This should be Bottas' last session with Mercedes.

Yep what was that tantrum all about...

Yep, he's demonstrated he won't follow team orders and he can't compete in the same equipment, give the drive to Russell.

Don’t think they can, not after all the snide comments about musical chairs and “there’s only one team that does that and it’s not us” stuff they’ve been spouting in the press

The Mercedes was by far the faster car, Merc dodged a couple of errors IMO. If they'd covered off Max at the first pit they'd have probably come out ahead (due to Max's fluffed stop) and cruised home, and the lap they pulled Hamilton in for the second stop Max had caught traffic on the last chicane and Hamilton was closer than he'd ever been so probably would have cruised past with DRS.

Didn't change anything, but I think there was a number of ways they could have won today.

If it means championship points they'll do it.

Shamelessly nicked from Reddit.

The season so far.

Turkish GP replaced with Austria. Shame cos it's an awesome track.

Aye, 2 races there now. Bet one of those will have this new sprint format qualifying
