Whats gone on with JV / CH now?!

It's embarrassing for the team. CH needs to remember that unlike Toto, he's an employee.

And JV needs to remember he's just a father of a driver.

The power struggle in the team is interesting.

Is Ted on speed?

They’re some of the most dislikeable figures in the paddock, and they all comes across as behaving like children.

The only adult in the team was Newey, and he had seen enough of the infighting and walked.

It’s utter bks, imo. What sort of mental gymnastics do you have to do to give Hulk 2 penalty points for that, but only give a reprimand to CLC and Stroll for intentionally ramming another car?

Don’t mention it, don’t mention it, don’t mention it.

I agree with all of these comments. RB needs to sort it out.

The kindest way to describe them is ‘uncouth’.

Until the Thai die, not happening.

Good summary.

It does have the feel of a bunch of manipulative blokes with limited morals having a cock fight

And even above the team itself, the two halves of Red Bull ownership having their own battles.

They've probably all just drunk too much Red Bull.

Here we go, the best part of this weekend

[Sandpit Steve]

Top five cars covered by 0.040 after first runs. I think this session might be rather close.

A lot of track evolution as well, they’re more than a second slower than yesterday’s qualifying times at the moment.

[TheDeuce]

Riccardo did a thing.

Yuki’s done a slightly quicker thing

[Sandpit Steve]

Wow, closest Q1 of all time?
0.311 covers the top 10 cars
0.393 covers the top 15 cars
0.593 covers the top 19 cars
0.798 covers the entire field.

[DanielSan]

How is the Aston so st at the moment?

Shortest lap time of the season so bound to be closer on times than a proper circuit.

Just a few hundredths of a switcheroo from beating croft stat chat.

So now MV turns it up, fastest lap of the weekend by some distance.
