    Commentators do my head in sometimes. Safe by .4 and going again, "Ohhh risky going on the mediums".
    Same when Seb was doing a lap - "he's not going to be worrying the top 5" and he immediately plonks it in 4th :pac:

    Albon really not happy with the team for where they sent him out - and to be fair the team has to shoulder some of the blame for one of the cars getting eliminated in Q2

    They did dump him in the middle of rush hour traffic there for his final run, mind!

    Horner will let us know what they think anyway, but the rest of Q1 and Q2 he was still way off the pace

    This 90% chance of rain looked a great prediction eh?

    Very disappointed to see RB nowhere near the pace. Fancied Verstappen this weekend. Pretty much confirms now Mercedes will completely dominate the season. Albon under a lot of pressure already, will he last the season? Thought the RP strategy on the mediums was bizarre, don't know why they felt the need to take the risk.

    Even Latifi made it into Q2, credit where it is due I guess!

    Yeah Latifi has been making all the right moves so far this season so credit to him too.

    A move to show they’re becoming a top team i reckon, and the risk paid off

    If they finish the race tomorrow without incident they’ll be P3 and P4 you’d have to think

    Has no-one involved in producing the F1 stream actually watched it since the middle of last year? The on-boards are probably a second behind the graphics. It's really poor and kinda makes the graphic worse than pointless.

    Hamilton beats the lap record by almost a second

    Ridiculous

    Perez fluffed his first run, if the weather takes a turn that could be costly

    The way The Merc goes through the corners is like a video game. It's mental.

    So Merc look to have another dominant year, which will make it 7 in a row

    Ferrari won 5 in a row in the early 2000s and wasnt the rule changes for 2005 brought in to stop them? How come they’re not doing the same for a more dominant team now?

    Honestly the way that Merc can just turn in reminds me of the concept cars in video games work. Wait til you're a few metres from the apex and just ram the steering in the desired direction. I'd say everyone would love a go in it.

    Mercedes dominant and Pink Mercedes next best. The Red Bull doesn't look happy. Car is a bit skittish and unbalanced.

    Bar the first lap there's likely no point looking at the front two. Hamilton will take off and Bottas will follow 5 or 6 seconds behind. 3 backwards will be interesting though

    Rain is our only chance of some excitement I'd say. I can see myself skipping the race and just watching the highlights

    Just shows how poor Haas and Alfa are without the cheating Ferrari engine! Is it too late for the likes of Williams to appeal last seasons results :p

    True enough. It's just part of the normal ups and downs in f1. The old Sauber team was no stranger to the back of the midfield. With the worst engine it's within the normal range for them.

    Another poor show from Kimi. He isn't the fastest driver in the team any longer. Time to go at the end of this year.

    Video streams are now delayed since they are produced in London instead of on track. It’s added about 2 to 3 seconds of a delay.

    Even the rain won’t save us from a procession. I’ll definitely be skipping it after lap 1.

    Is 3rd the highest Stroll has now qualified on the road? I know he started 2nd at Monza but originally qualified 4th.

    Wonder how long it'll be until Red Bull lodge their own complaint about Racing Point - although they have bigger fish to fry, honestly. Besides the car going backwards, they need to fix their "second driver issue" as soon as possible, Albon is pulling a "Gasly Episode 2".

    However high one wants to rate Max, there simply can't be that kind of difference between him and Albon, nor Gasly for what matters, on the single lap - otherwise these wouldn't even belong in F1. There's something wrong in the team, technical or political is anyone's guess.

    I'm sure Vettel won't miss the opportunity to remind red bull that they could use a decent driver in their second car.

    I wouldn't believe red bull have closed the door on Vettel just because they said so.
