Surely Max can’t keep that place

Is it just me, or has F1 got a serious problem with overtaking again? This would be one track yoy wouldn't expect it to be that difficult, and yet it was a lot of DRS trains again.

And that's before we even get to the concern about next year's regulations.

I agree, 2022 and 23 was very good with minimal dirty air. It seems to now be prominent once again

On the race though, wasn't the greatest was it?

Leclerc driver of the day for me, stellar job in that tractor

I seriously think Lewis should start thinking of calling it a day.....

If I were Lewis, I'd hold on for this season, see how the less ground effect orientated cars are next year, might be that they're closer to how he likes to drive the cars. But I think he needs to accept he'll never be back to the level he was in 2017-20, nobody can operate at that level forever and he's not getting any younger.

Problem with the dirty air is everyone thought going for ground effect was a kind of silver bullet to the dirty air issue. But the problem is F1 engineers pride themselves on finding ways of recovering that kind of defect, and it was inevitable once they caught on to all the tricks it'd be an issue again.

I'm glad that was a 6pm race not a 6am one. Fine to run around doing errands than lie down and eat too much chocolate in front of but I'd be fuming if I'd woken up early for it

Honestly, what even is the point in calling that a special livery? It's absolutely half arsed. If you absolutely must have a special livery, fully commit to it. This just looks like they've pandered to a sponsor that already looks out of place on the car.

Looks like they slammed a late 90's Williams into the back of the Ferrari at very high speed.

Red Bull should get absolutely hammered for that release, as well as the ten seconds for Max. That could have been really nasty, Antonelli did well to avoid it being any worse.

This race so far shows perfectly the difference between Piastri and Norris. Piastri set Verstappen up beautifully to get it done. Norris making a total meal of it.

He's just got better race craft and better instincts. I said it even reasonably early last season you could tell he had the killer instinct that you need to be champion. Now he's got a bit of experience and the car to beat, we're finding out just how much.

Agree with the above

Oscar sizing max up for a couple of laps, then did it

Lando as per usual fannying about and not getting the job done

I really hope Oscar carries this form on, hes showing all the qualities needed to be a champion

What shenanigans are Alpine up to now?

Getting rid of Doohan for Colapinto, but only giving him five races to prove himself.

This caused their team principal Ollie Oakes to resign.

Oakes has been replaced by Flavio Briatore, a man found responsible for getting one of his drivers to deliberately crash so Alonso could benefit, who got banned from the sport for life because of it, then had the ban reduced on appeal, and now he's back in charge of the same team.

Add this to the plethora of management changes since Renault became Alpine. And then the whole Piastri saga. And managing to annoy Alonso so much, he dumped them for Aston Martin. And an apparent inability to design even a half decent car.

No wonder they can't win anything, is it. The Watford of Formula One.

I dont see how Briatore could have ever came back to F1 after that shite

Also, Pat Symonds as part of F1s set up

Both cheated, both crack on as normal

He just can't deliver when the pressure's on. Probably screwed him for the race as well.

McLaren's whole strategy has been a disasterclass of Ferrari proportions today.

Mind you, even as a McLaren fan, the social media is hilarious. Half the comments slamming the team for taking too long to let Norris go, the other half slamming them for screwing Piastri over by letting Norris go.....

Good grief, it's toxic

Thought this was cool, really good transitions between each section. Taken from an interview in 2021 where Max "designed" his ideal track.

I find that since DTS the whole social media side of F1 is toxic. It’s got even worse since AD21 too.

Had to laugh during FP1, when he was saying the car basically felt like turds after the Stroll incident, and yet he was still fastest!

Race sim looked good, but with the mandatory two stop, we're in unknown territory.
