This could change things hopefully. Just want someone other than Max to win.

This won't change anything.

Max will pull ahead on the re-start. Best car in the field, by some margin in race trim.

Oh Yuki.....you had been doing so well....

Norris, such a talent. Looking forward to seeing what he does when they give him a car that can compete

I may never understand the Ferraris.

I am rooting for Hamilton - but I don't understand why the Ferraris did not keep the pressure on Hamilton once he passed Leclerc - given that he was running the medium tires. Should have forced him to eat-up those tires trying to defend, and leave him vulnerable in the closing laps.

Norris is the driver that Mercedes thought they were getting in George Russell.

McLaren are a fun team to watch - I like Norris and Piastri.

With the improvements McLaren are making, I half expect them to have a car able to compete for 2nd best team soon!

Boring race mostly, only Norris made it decent to watch really.

It's incredible how quickly the conditions changed there.

Red flag for rain that's only just hit with 4 minutes to go! ......

I get that no one would go out and beat their time, but red flag? Bit of a joke

During the 15 minute delay, Croft and Brundle were talking to Gunter Steiner (Haas) about what reason the teams had been given for the delay. Steiner’s throwaway was that organisers were ensuring the rain arrived for Q3. He was absolutely right except it was heavier than they expected.

I forgot that the Sprint also has qualifying, get rid of this shit.

That's Ocon's fault.

Really nice to see McLaren's resurgence this season.

Really nice to see McLaren's resurgence this season.

Would have been nice to see them this way from the start.

Someone needs to give Zak a reminder of when the season starts next year, getting the car ready half way through the season was tough...

It should put a ton of pressure on Mercedes - given that McLaren are using Mercedes' engines.

Lets hope that next season sees 3-4 teams evenly matched at the top.

Never really understood why pole position in Brazil is on the outside of the track when the inside has the advantage going into the first corner (and not just because the Red Bull gets away so quick). Should the pole sitter be able to decide if they want to start from second place?

 

[Dirty Ewok]

uhhhhh......Jean LeClerc channeling his inner Logan Sargent on the formation lap....

 

[Glasseye]

Well its going to be one of those races is it? Good start by Norris and Hamilton there

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

Re-watching the start - and the Astons both lost out immediately

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

WOW - someone actually racing with Verstappen

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

Well it was good for a couple of laps...
