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.

Nice to be able to watch during daylight hours.

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'm cheering for Norris, a Brit from a Brit team of NZ birth!

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

[voodoo]

Brilliant from Leclerc. Love that he still wanted to go for another fastest lap in the dying stages

[Bones]

@voodoo the radio was classic

[antipodean]

Russell and Hamilton - there's a team full of charisma
