Bring! It! On!
The roars from the crowd!
Great stuff at the front there
I dont find them that bad, people are really going to war over them
I hate them.
Sky F1 or main event
What way do people watch this? Main coverage on Sky F1? Or red button stuff?
Sainz 2.3
Verstappen 2.9
The graphics are awful
This is great.
Valtteri this is James . . .
Yes on new tyres with no grip.
Bad call on the hards?
Valteri its James .... oh wait
Verstappen’s radio messages are impossible to read, dark blue text on a black background?
Did I was just watch Hamilton get done by the rookie?
Hards for Hamilton.
Ric having a shocker of a race and just don't think Bottas suits being in midfield, can't see him having much joy throughout the season getting past cars even if the Alfa is faster
Lewis in early
6 of last 7 cars are Merc engines
It is a bit mental how close Ferrari and McClaren were last year in terms of performance and looking at the distance now - this is shocking from McClaren.
Hamilton comes in for hard's - which look hard to control, zero grip there!
Merc doesnt look that good at the moment, makes me somewhat happy
Cars well able to follow eachother closely which is excellent to see
Maybe not, Hamilton dropping back.
Helmet cam looks cool but you can’t really see much…
RBPT traction from at T1 far better then the Merc there
Best looking cars in a few years but still sound rubbish as expected, thank god for GT racing .
Those sidepods on the Mercs are weird. Looks like someone reversed into them.
I'm surprised at how the top 3 have spread. Verstappen maybe just biding his time but disappointing so far for Sainz.
Sainz beginning to drop Hamilton now
Both of these statements are true so far! The drivers don't look comfortable at all but they're willing to follow a lot more closely. Even if it just means tyres aren't chewed up after a lap of following it's a positive change.
