    @duluth Third and fourth places are better than 2 x DNFs, although I do agree with your observations of the Mercedes cars as they currently are. No doubt the engineers are working furiously to fix the problems so we should see some improvement in the future. Maybe next week might be a bit early but there will be a solution sooner rather than later if history is anything to go by.

    Be good to see Ferrari do well again.

    Mercedes will of course fight back stronger which I am completely torn on.

    Having watched 3 seasons of F1 Drive to Survive last week, I have really warmed to Hamilton. He's really well spoken, eloquent, thoughtful and comes across so well. I've properly misjudged him. The flip side applies to George Russell. He's a complete fluffybunny and I hope fails badly.

    Gutted for Red Bull & stoked for Haas. Guenther Steiner musthave been brilliant last night!

    @majorrage McLaren might be rather disheartened also.

        Liam Lawson had a fine weekend, getting two podiums including a second in a crazy feature race in F2. The action is so exciting in the lower formula

                Hamilton didn’t make it out of q1 yesterday …. Russell did ok tho.

                Awesome first pole for Perez.

                Nasty crash for Schumacher seems he’s ok tho

                  Fun battle between Leclerc and Verstappen again.

                  The 2022 cars being able to follow closer has helped a lot. Maybe they need to dial back DRS now?

                    I was thinking about this too. But decided na .. you still need to catch up to get within a second.

                    Some brilliant racing in the first two events so far this year.

                    Interesting how much stronger Russell was over Hamilton on the Merc. Seems he's really struggling to get to grips with the car.

                            I know we're only three weeks in, but man are new cars more interesting to watch.

                            Helps that Mercedes have been shit tho...

                                          Impressive from Norris, hopefully Leclerc leads from start to finish tmrw

                                          Why, are you French, or Italian?

                                          I just like the guy. Compared to Vestappen at least. I like Sainz too, if I could pick a team to go for drinks with, it'd be Charles and Carlos

                                          Good reason.

                                          I like Norris too, seems a good egg.

                                          Edit to this, I don't like the way Norris is so competitive with team mates, naive I know, but he doesn't seem a team player
