    Nice to see Sainz going on the attack after Max

    Yep - pretty much a "torpedo" move. Not sure if he just overshot himself on the brakes or was actually hoping for it to work.

    Poor from Leclerc there. He was too far behind to lunge down the inside like he did.

    I like Sainz but we need him to stay out of the way for the lead battle. :pac:

    Ah Ferrari. That one on LeClerc I think.

    Disaster for Ferrari again. This could be an embarrassing year for them.

    I’m a huge fan of Leclerc, and maybe I need to look at it again but looked like an overly ambitious move.

    Saying that maybe I’m wrong putting blame on Leclerc as Brundle seems to be blaming Vettel but at first glance (since Vettel had the line and was in front) it looked like Leclerc tried a very difficult move to cut in around the corner and hopped up over the kerb. Bit clumsy I thought.

    Was going to say that Leclerc would be lucky to finish with that coming together, so much more than the front wing.
    Both ferrari cars retired now due to hitting each other.

    Double DNF for Ferrari, nowhere for Vettel to go. Costly mistake from Leclerc.

    Elsewhere Perez up to P11 already, nice recovery with an assist from Ferrari

    Don’t think Leclerc or Vettel we’re going to compete today.

    Comes down to Verstappen and Bottas to me for any chance of a challenge to Lewis.

    He had the same chance of points as last week. The Williams will be finishing last barring a late-race incident causing someone to finish behind them. They're very, very slow.

    Scratch that haha looks like Lewis is pulling away easily.

    To be fair, I’m not a fan of his but after that brilliant qualy yesterday he deserves to win this race. Would have been nicer to see Verstappen stay tight on him to make a challenge of it though.

    Brundle has since clarified that he mixed the drivers up. LeClerc to blame.

    True but would have been nice to see him stay up there longer and give some hope.

    He was always going to have to be defensive though with the lack of speed. Would have been good to see them racing others for a bit though.

    Ferrari picking up 0 points.

    Going to be weird looking at the Constructors standing after this race and seeing Ferrari down so far.

    Looks like Brundle has backtracked and confused which Ferrari was which.

    Now he’s pinning it on Leclerc. It just feels weird Ferrari being so far back this year.

    Not a big team orders fan but surely Renault would want to tell Ocon to let Ricciardo passed.

    Both drivers losing time challenging and Ricciardo looking quicker. It’s important for Renault to maximize points

    Stupid fighting with teammate was Ocon's thing at Force India, seems like he hasn't learned that lesson.

    Why aren’t Renault letting Ricciardo through? Ocon is on the faster tyre but he’s not getting away, and Sainz is pulling clear of them.

    Horrible management.

    Ricciardo finally passed Ocon.

    “3 laps too late” spot on by the commentators.

    One of the things I love about Leclerc.

    Takes responsibilities (rare in F1). Completely apologizing for it. Says he was too optimistic and he let the team down. Took full responsibility.

    We’ve seen it before too but it’s good for a young driver I think. Saying he’ll go back and learn from it. So many just refuse to admit their mistakes and learn from them.

    Max pits and seconds in front of Albon.

    On this pace Hamilton to lap everyone up to 4th place unless Merc massively back-off.

    Nothing Red Bull can do this time.
    A 3-4 or a 2-4 will still get them off the board and ahead of Ferrari.

    The 3 leaders inc Verstappen wont be far off lapping Albon at this rate

    Iv defended him but how is Albon about a second a lap slower, it looked pretty embaressing for Gasly last year getting lapped by team mate and it might happen again
