I don’t either. I think that if they have sprint races they shouldn’t decide the grid

Perez to start P13 for the sprint. Think he lost both Q3 laps, plus a lap in Q2. As I said, bang to rights really.

Don't often see a car left on it's jacks on the grid these days, clearly an issue for Alonso.

Problem for Zhou as well on the formation lap. We haven't even started yet and it's all going on!

Predicting a boring race today. Max should romp away and they'll just be loads of DRS trains all down the straights.

I'm afraid that might be accurate. Even the F2 sprint race yesterday was dull, usually that's quite a good watch.

Could be a record number of penalties for track limits by the end of this.

Not a bad race in the end. Pleased for Leclerc and gutted for Sainz. That Ferrari is a really fragile thing.

Seems like bad crowd behaviour crossing into F1 as well.

The blistering on that front right looked pretty bad but he hardly looked like he was struggling with it

That's the problem.
All these rule changes still cannot drag back the gap the front runners have on the pack.
Competitive racing in the midfield doesn't compensate for runaway winners.
For years it was Mercedes now it's Red Bull. Ferrari don't count because it's not a good car if it can't finish races.
Max cruising because no competition. Championship won before the season started.

tbh, the regulations are partly the problem. They're there to close the field... which they do, but they don't allow space for a team to come up with a leftfield solution to a problem, which can bump them from backmarker to race winner.

Creating a load of "average" teams that can't close the gap to one or two teams at the front.
Can't be a coincidence that Red Bull's dominance co-incides with Mercedes fall when a lot of key personnel (designers, engineers etc) moved from Mercedes to Red Bull 2 years ago.
Maybe the only way for these teams to catch up is to spend a lot of money off the track on recruitment from the big teams.
Still not keen on creating rules that make teams average. F1 supposed to showcase the elite of motor sport.
We're going to be hearing more about reverse grids etc before long.
F1 pundits, media celebrating the fact that it's not another Mercedes cakewalk rather than acknowledging it's still a cakewalk for the best team.

It's true, although it usually has been. Modern day reliability stops quicker cars from breaking and mixing it up a bit, too.

Seb Vettel joins Instagram to announce his retirement at the end of the season. Bit gutted by this.

I think it's been on his mind all season, honestly. At least since Melbourne. He's got no interest pottering around at the back of the grid in sub-par machinery.

I fully admit, I never thought I'd get to like Vettel as much as I've grown to like him. I absolutely couldn't stand him at Red Bull (a mix of his youthful arrogance, but probably more so how the Red Bull/Helmut Marko PR machine built him) but I really have. He's been a credit to the sport, and can retire knowing he's achieved more than most ever will out of it.

He has. Wish he'd have got a title at Ferrari though, just so some of the accusations against him could have been answered.

At his best, he was fast, damned fast. People forget just how good he was early on, and how he blew the field away really. His first win in the Torro Rosso was a masterclass, too.

But because he's only won in one team, he'll go down a bit like Ascari, as a flat track bully.

I'm sad about this

His dominance was a bit tedious early 10's but he has turned into such a likeable character, a great driver and even more a great man

Formula 1 will be the poorer without him

I think this may start the thinking process of retirement in Lewis's mind now, aswell as Fernando.......

I couldn't have put it better myself. A lovely man, a fantastic driver and a credit to the sport.

Where for him?
A career in politics or an international ambassador for various causes?
