Turn 1 should be interesting tomorrow with Hamilton and Verstappen on the front row. Norris and Piastri can also spice things up at the start.

Indeed, let's hope Verstappen shows that he can be a good sportsman for once and races fairly against Hamilton..
Mega job by Hamilton.. Russell was massively let down by his team today, there was absolutely no excuse not to get a banker.
Great job again by Lando and Piastri..
And mega from Zhou!!
Not one of my favorite tracks, but I am really looking forward to a good race tomorrow..

What a fantastic quali! Wasn't expecting to enjoy that as much as I did. Not sure the new tyre strategy contributed anything to the excitement, arguably it made it more predictable for the top teams.

Hopefully tomorrow is just as exciting. Hope Lando gets a good start and goes around the outside of Max who's on the dirty side.

Verstappen is always on the dirty side, when it comes to racing Hamilton😉

Yeah, not one of my favourite circuits, and not a great race..
Although there were some really good individual performances from the likes of Lando, Russell, Perez, Hamilton and Piastri..

I think it's safe to say that Piastri is the best rookie since George Russell, he drives like he's got so much experience in F1 already..

I bet if Max didn’t have to conserve his engine, he could have lapped the field.

I really like Danica Patrick, but she doesn't really add much other than the obvious..
..and she's got the most terrible dress sense, looks like the worst of the 1980s today she looked like a clown,
standing next to Nico Rosberg looking like he just stepped off the set of Scarface 😁😁😁

Has the cost cap had any effect on team order? Seems the same teams are present in front/mid/back respectively.

You know it's a boring one when Max is so far ahead they don't even bother to switch the camera shot to him during the whole race. I honestly think he appeared 10 times maximum and two of them were pit stops. The rest of the time we are looking at driver X in the DRS zone vs Driver Y. I got a good 40 minutes snooze on this one.

Bring on Spa 😀

Another strong race by McClaren. This is awesome to see. If this race had another 5 laps in it HAM might have made it to the podium.

Really impressed by McLaren’s recent performance. Bodes very well for the American Zak Brown. Otmar and Alpine on the other hand…

Very disappointing ride for Lewis....had pole and got beat by Max running on the dirty side at the first corner, and after a couple of corners he was fourth and never able to recover. But Russell certainly had a good ride. Like it or not RB has the best cars, and the better drivers, it is what it is.

Best driver for sure but I really don’t rate Perez at all these days, especially compared to either McLaren or Mercedes drivers

Frankly, I feel like thw whole Max/RB leading winning every race is getting old. Drop them from the picture things become a bit more exciting. Even F1 televsion crew seemed to show everyone but Max.

There is always a strong top dog in F1....over the last 20 years we had Schumacher, then Vettel, followed by Hamilton, now Verstappen. It always got boring for those fans that aren't backing the current hot whip or team. F1 is always jiggling the rules and regulations to try to make things more equal among the teams but the results are usually the same, one driver or team is dominant before another one comes along.

The 'problem' for non-Verstappen fans is he is already No 5 on the all time race winners list and will pass Prost and Vettel within a year to the No 3 position and will then start chasing Schumacher's and Hamilton's totals. Since he is only 25 years old so he will be around for quite a few years barring injury. Maybe a hot driver with a hot team will come along to slow him down, but I don't see anything on the horizon.

To achieve parity, we need someone to compete with this guy.

Or open up the budget cap and let Ferrari, Mercedes, and Stroll spend like there’s no tomorrow.
