Mercedes we’re right on it this morning. Think they were sandbagging in the lead up to the qualifying session. Perez was a moron sadly. So interesting to see his progress tomorrow. Mercedes now have the luxury of being able to use team tactics on max. Let’s see how close they can stay though. And who would they “sacrifice” I wonder.

With the new Sprint Quali rules and tyre restrictions, it means that if Norris or Tsunoda manage to get into SQ3 they can't participate - they don't have any new soft tyres left, only used ones.

So let’s just let the red fools (not a typo) go race on their own on a different day for 1 and 2 in the championship, then everyone else can make racing lekker again and race for the rest of the spots. They are actually just taking up space on the track because they too damn fast. Last night was another boring race.

LOL no. I am a Ferrari man that still supports Alonso even after he left us.

I don't really have an issue with Checo, but Max and Christian grind me up the wrong way. I respect Adrian Newey for the genius that he is.

Well when Schumi was at Ferrari it was even more boring, there was really no point in watching.

Hamilton dominated for 7 or 8 years.

Formula 1 seems to have always been this way. The team that has the best car just runs away with it.

Happy for Alonso, he's flying the "toppie" flag high at the moment, hope he can continue until the end of the season.

Definitely the right decision taken by F1 management and FIA. There are things more important than hosting an F1 race.

Also, at least we don't the possibility of a repeat of Spa '21 where they "raced" for 2 laps behind the SC and declared it a race.
