Ooh, that’s a bag of bolts for MV.

[axel1990chp]

Think the curb crap wont apply here, from memory they arent particularly massive, are they? someone feel free to correct me!

I cant see anything but a wafty Max win to be honest.
Im going for an LH second and a Piastri 3rd, to be different.

My predictions have been shockingly off this season

Ill be thread reading in between errands and watching the highlights in the evening. Enjoy!

Did MV's engine st its pants then?

[Leithen]

For once, with the lack of set up time and the close margins between the top four teams, I'm looking forward to the sprint weekend format.

Sadly not. They pushed it back into the pits and the damn thing fired back up.

No Crofty this weekend - everyone rejoice!

Looks like he's done the old switcheroo with Harry Benjamin.

[Jasandjules]

No soft run for Lewis, be interesting to see what the delta should be between hards and softs to see how close Merc are to the front row.

[Sandpit Steve]

SQ1 underway, yet no-one appears interested in going out.

[Smollet]

I’m liking the Croft replacement. Can we keep him please

[Sandpit Steve]

RIC, HUL, BOT, ALB, ZHO the drivers eliminated in SQ1, possibly the first time ever that Sargeant has beaten Albon in a qualifying session.

DR out....................again

[Byker28i]

Sqeeky bum time for Lewis, then tsunoda takes a corner backwards

[SpudLink]

Hang on! Did Sargeant reach Q2 but Albon didn’t?

Yup!

[Big Nanas]

Is it just me, or do the car's PU sound different in the cockpit audio? Definitely different.

[sortedcossie]

Alpine does for sure.

[Sandpit Steve]

0,827 covers 15 cars there. Great to watch.

MAG, STR, ALO, TSU, SAR the drivers out.

[Byker28i]

Vetted looks hooked up, as does Russell

[Sandpit Steve]

Everyone leaving it late again, all going with one flying lap.

[Adrian W]

Come on
