Another pit lane start for stroll, got points from it last week so might aswell go again. Seems Aston are in no mans land with regards to their car. Hopefully Ricciardo can get some points today.

Re the delays in pirlane, why not make it a specific gap between cars coming out? That way you always need to wait a certain length of time (say 2 or 3 seconds) any any breaches of that are strict penalties? Would mean that cars would need to be careful with timing to ensure they get a run out, but would avoid this odd scenario where one driver can affect loads behind them.

Just turn Q3 into a one lap shoot out, one at a time with tenth in Q2 going first, then 9th etc. If it looks like rain might affect that then revert to the old system.

Not exciting enough, you need cars going across the line every 10-15 seconds for maximum drama and excitement.

The cars shouldn't be allowed stop at the pit exit if the light is green, if you do stop then it should be a penalty

George Russell explaining the workings of the steering wheel on Sky there. I couldn't listen to him all day but it was informative.
Anyways, I thought DRS was automatically engaged (don't know why) - it seems they have to press a button themselves for it.

Norris starting on the soft compound to try and make ground early, mainly at the start you'd imagine.

It will be an interesting race with the grid as it is. Norris will need to get a move on early with the soft tyre.

Perez might just have signed himself out of a seat at his home grand prix.

He couldn't refuse that open door on the outside of Leclerc, but to turn in like that was stupid. Best view is from the on board of Leclerc.

Big balls on Max for that move. Perez incident like Hamilton in Qatar.

Stupid by Perez in fairness. Le Clerc could go no where. Perez had more space.

I fear this race will be fairly boring after the first lap.
