    That's incredible from Hulk. How the man doesn't have a seat is appalling

    Hulk drove the car for the first time a week ago and has out qualified the guy who's been driving it for a year. Great lap from Hulk but also shows up the difference between Stroll and others, namely that he can't qualify for ****

    Who was it said a few days ago for Hulk to get a podium and Racing Point to then get disqualified.

    That was a good qualifying season. Much better and more exciting than last weekend one. Well done to Nico he drove great the same with Ricciardo. Good to see Bottas get the pole. Hopefully we get a good race now tomorrow and maybe Bottas, Max, Nico or Danial to win the race.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    Formula 2 feature race starting now... Looking good for Illott in pole. Schwatzman who is leading the championship is down in 11th on the grid.

    Llundgard will put in a good race at the front too!! It's the feature race so there will be the mandatory pitstop.

    Same its mad odds but don't think I'd have been brave enough considering he only slightly improved in practice pace this weekend (open to correction on that) and he wasn't great in qualifying last weekend

    Hopefully Stroll's struggles in the race last weekend were Strolls struggles and not Racing Point's struggles

    I can't understand why he is still competing at this level. Other guys have ruined their careers in the past for much less than he did, he got off lightly and yet he clearly hasn't learnt anything.



    Heck, people doing jobs not nearly as demanding and risky as motorsport, have one single/genuine/silly mistake brandished at them like a sword for years.

    Decided to take the gamble I also had verstappen at 9/1 EW for pole, to hedge my bets!

    Mick Schumacher usually knows every inch of his car, but it's a shame he didn't know his teammates car size!! That'll be a learning for him.

    Delighted to see Tsunoda get a win. Red Bull will be paying attention but he's a little down the standings at the moment to get Superlicense qualifications.

    The difference between Lewis' press conferences when he's top and not is notable. Not the best of losers. Almost said nothing in yesterday's post-quali conference. Hopefully Valtteri keeps position on the first corner and holds Lewis off. Would love to see Valtteri win and keep Lewis quiet again.

    Of more interest may be Verstappen on the hards versus The Hülk. Strategies should be interesting today.

    Nice piece with Captain Tom Moore.

    Mad to think that he was in his 30's when F1 started 70 years ago and he is still watching it today.

    Verstappen starting on the hards gives him the advantage on strategy, combined with the strong race pace of the Red Bull I expect him to squash and chances of a Hulk podium. The race pace hasn't been great in the Racing Point

    I do wonder if Vet is ****ing with Ferrari.

    P1ssed off after getting the boot, likely retiring at the end of season, is he out to mess with their constructors points?

    If Hulk can stay where he is it'll be a great result, in the top 5 and ahead of his teammate.

    And didn't manage to pass him on track either, Russell pits and Vettel inherits the position

    This might get very interesting,

    Verstappens might have better tyres right now that the mercs who have both pitted.

    I don’t see how Max can one stop if the tyres are degrading so badly.

    It has to be worth a punt though. Would be very impressive if he pulls it off.
