    Mercedes have featured in every Q3 since 2012 and are looking like they may break that streak today...

          Norris dawdling around the track and somehow ends up in the wall, just as everyone starts their push for the final qualifying lap, thus securing P3. Neat trick.

            Should've gone to bed instead of straying up to watch that. Here's hoping tonight is vastly improved weather conditions.

                Think a lot of that sounds like bullshit / hearsay from a bitter anti-Mercedes F1 fan.

                They haven't got it right this season so far, but they are still 3rd in the constructors and have had 2 podiums.

                I predict they will improve and win at least 2-3 races this year. You only need to look at McLaren to see that 2022 is going to be a very up/down season for all.

                    I'd agree, too much to do to mount a serious challenge but they will improve. The big question is Hamilton's form compared to Russell.

                      Max wins in Miami, Leclerc 2nd & Sainz 3rd

                      Great start by Max. He closes the gap to Charles in the drivers championship

                      Russel beats Hamilton again

                        MB appear to have worked out what was causing the porpoising. They're now running lower to the ground and the car has genuine pace.

                        George Russell starts on the second row next to the second Ferrari. Behind them, Perez and seven time world champion Hamilton. Predictably Leclerc and Max are on the front row.

                        Catalunya circuit is great for bikes, not so much for cars. Traditionally very difficult to overtake. But Max's long run stints in practice still looked better as Ferrari try to get better tyre wear from their car.

                                  @Machpants It's difficult to say this without seeming dickish, but Toyota are racing themselves. There's no other manufacturers like Audi or Porsche in the category.

                                        Cracking race at Silverstone. Big accident on opening lap. Zhou Guanyu ended up wedged between the tyre barrier and fence. Very lucky the car didn't catch fire.

                                          One of those crashes where they don't show a replay for 15mins or so until they are sure the driver is alive and has all his limbs

                                          Fun race but that was largely because Max's car was having issues

                                          Drivers championship is currently grouped by manufacturer - RB, RB, Ferrari, Ferrari, Mercedes, Mercedes

                                          Doubt anyone catches Max. At this stage I think the inter-team battles will be the most interesting - which Ferrari driver beats the other and can Lewis pass Russell?
