    If you get a chance, watch Channel 4 highlights. They're based in Red Bull HQ this weekend and are making the most of it. Best highlights programme from them in a long time.

    Agreed. Loved the bit with Mark and David on the bikes at the end on the slippy floor lol.

    As for qualifying. You nearly got it right seb just two minutes to early. Had he crashed two minutes later it might have been Verstappen on pole and Sergio in 3rd with Hamilton down in 15th. That would have made for a good race. As it is it could be very boring again at the front unless Verstappen can get a better start or even take Hamilton out. Can you imagine Oh my Max just crashed into the side of Hamilton and they are both out. Then the race could be interesting and maybe Danny could get on the podium.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    No no no. Bottas is directly behind him at the start so let Lewis bog, and Valterri launch straight into the back of him. Both Mercs out straight away, and the possibility of a more entertaining race :pac:

    Latifi will be so far back, his grid position won't be on the start/finish straight :pac:

    Kimi setting a record for race starts today, Cheqred flag podcast wondering if Hamilton will set a record for most complaining about tyres.

    The way he tries to frame the coverage of himself always reminds me of David Brent in the first episode of The Office.

    https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1ubh46

    One of these days he'll be asked an interview question and respond "Hamilton mused, and then replied..."

    To be fair, he's racing in Russia. Even though he's not supposed to be at the circuit this weekend, there is still the chance that Putin could win :pac:

    either he did or didnt do a practice start outside the designated zone, so why wait until after the race?

    Looks like the debate is whether it's a finger wag for the constructors for regulations or a hard penalty to the driver for stopping in an unsafe place
