No way Hamilton can hold Verstappen of for 10 laps, his car is so much better. Amazing what a couple of cheating millions can do, eh Saracens

Hamilton had this for years. No sympathy.

Went up the inside at the first corner and t-boned Sainz out of the race. He had no chance of getting around without collecting someone.

A move that he only spent a five second penalty for.

What's going on?
Magnusson gets out first in q1 before the rain hits and gets the best time. Russell crashes and during the red flag the rain hits properly and everyone decides there's no point going back out.
Magnusson and Haas for their first ever pole.

So new season and we're in to 2023. Second season of the new car and after the third practice session of the first grand prix at Bahrain it looks like a much closer start to the season. Surprise is how close Aston Martin looks to the traditional top three of the last decade (Red Bull, Mercedes and Ferrari).

@antipodean I was flicking channels and saw a little bit of a practice session
I’m not a big fan of F1 as it becomes a procession of slot cars easily but I do admire the technology and fighter pilot like abilities of the drivers (the over paid posturing can fuck off)
Anyway, what I came to add was there were some excellent in garage shots of drivers waiting to go out and you could really see the scale of the cars against the driver. Again I would draw the fighter jet analogy as these machines are beasts. You just don’t normally get that proportional view -

They look bigger cos of the new cockpits which are barely open anymore. But their garages are like surgeries, so clean. They are an OCD heaven, nothing out of place. They look like display pieces, rather than work sites. Very interesting to wander around

It's going to be entertaining if Alonso is consistently around the same part of the grid as Hamilton

Messy from the FIA
The race goes for 35 laps after Alonso's pit stop, with no penalty given. He celebrates on the podium (his 100th podium)
A couple of mins after the podium ceremony he is given a 10sec penalty. Russell reacts to being promoted to 3rd in the post race media. Then the penalty is overturned a couple of hours later

Not Formula 1 but I'll stick it in here. Mich Evans and Nick Cassidy took the top two sports on the podium in Formula Es first race in Brazil in Round Six of the Formula E World Championship from grids three and four respectively overnight. A great result for our Kiwis!
