I think Max will win the race on Sunday by a fair margin.

My missus just came in, glanced at the telly, and asked why is Greg Wallace (from MasterChef) interviewing F1 people.

I can’t unsee it now!

Odd question… What watch has Martin Brindle got on? Richard Mille?

Correct!
Just dont look at the prices!

[Oligen]

Some straight talking from Jaques!

Vettel made that mistake because he was pushing under pressure from Button.

Still wasn't an overtake. It was one of the many Vettel cockups.

Would you ever expect anything else from him?

He’s been on a the grid walk a couple of times (Richard Mille, that is). I think he sponsors watches for a number of drivers.

Very nice, but not cheap if you’re paying for it yourself!

I’d guess he’s “sponsored” too, grid walk gets a fair amount of air time

I'd be amazed if he wasn't. Brundle gets a lot of airtime and his watch gets shown a lot.
Interesting reading here for any watch lovers on who sponsors who on the grid.

For Richard Mille, he currently sponsors McLaren and Ferrari - remember when Lando Norris got his Mille watch stolen when he went to Wembley to see the football?

Worth walking back from the pub to watch P2?

Overexcited?

Ferrari are off to an early start this weekend

[matrignano]

Leclerc inchident already

[asfault]

One of the stupidist rules in racing. should be up to the teams if they want to go out on inters or wets even if its dry.

Used to get this in karting on seriusly dodgy days. why have to wait for declared "open" ie any tyre let me choose and make the gamble.

[TheDeuce]

No one else is going out until the inters are called.. They're not going to waste a tyre.
