Bernie really is brilliant. I know she's a bit of a nerd, but I find her insight fascinating.

She's by far the best presenter/ expert on Sky F1.

Agreed, a really interesting grid walk.

Agree - very interesting! You can see her checking out the various little bits that interest her whilst going round.

(I'm slightly behind so just watched grid walk)

Course he did, defending against his team mate

No, he whiffed the defence against Max and Oscar took advantage of an open door.

Is it just me or is the feed not showing live timings on the left hand side? I like to see the gaps etc seems a shame not to have it!

None here

Oh yeah, just noticed that. They’re on Lap 18.

Hope we have the graphics back for the Grand Prix tomorrow.

Piastri has screwed Norris race, someone needs a word with him

Norris screwed his own race.

Both.

Piastri owes Norris nothing but he is too slow to catch Max but too fast for Norris to pass

[Gad-Westy]

Is it just f1tv not showing running order and lap count etc on left hand side? Has been missing for a few laps.

Seems like max might be the slowest car of the top 6 at the moment.

What makes you think this?

It's weird - they normally show them for a sprint race.

Perhaps some gremlins that also effected the start procedure.

Also not flashing up the make of the support drivers and celebs in the garage that are on screen. Definitely a tech glitch if done sort.

The world feed is missing it too

[Sandpit Steve]

Sainz with no DRS to Russell, Lewis in with a chance in the last couple of laps.

I posted that 15 minutes ago when the first 6-7 cars were all within a second of each other. Seems like the RB was slower to get up to pace.

[nnnitram]

Clearly the broadcaster knows there's a problem with the on screen graphics because the commentator just read out the running order. So why not say something like "we're aware there's a problem".

[The Vambo]

Well that was a fantastic... 2 laps.

[nnnitram]

The absolute cheek of this commentary team asking if Alonso signed too soon! While Stroll is in 10th! STROLL! Surely it's Aston Martin feeling some regret.

[ChocolateFrog]

Half full grandstands at a European circuit isn't a good look IMO.

Very boring after the first few laps.

Yep. Dull as ditchwater. Sadly fixed into position once Piastri passed Norris.

[732NM]

That was dull, DRS train all race bar one cocked up overtake for the lead.

The fact he can pull out a 4 second gap then manage his pace?

[Adrian W]

Pray for rain tomorrow

[WonkeyDonkey]

Amazing from max again while driving the 11th fastest car on the grid.

[Adrian W]

Why is Schiff talking about DRS like it's a good thing
