just saw a verstapen interview
what a DH
adamant he is'nt going to change his style, sounds like he's daring the stewards to keep penalising him
they introduced new regulations because of his DH tactics
braking deep into the corner on the inside and bouncing the outside car off the track is actually not that skilled a manoeuver
if that's all it took to pass someone, i could do that
and if they didn't bring the rule in, all the drivers would now be doing the same move

they could have let the drivers "self-administer" like in nascar, out the back of the garages after the race!
although most of those F1 drivers look like pussy cats

Russell head of FPDA: "19 out of 20 drivers are in favor of a change in regulations" on how to defend in F1

Ha ha. Perez eliminated from sprint. Along with tsunoda. Verstappen through. And some kiwi lad called Lawson.

Bearman (sp) and Lawson smoking the old fellas in supposedly second rate cars.

[Billy Tell]

Very respectable 8th in sprint qualifying. Well done fella.

God Piastri really needs to tone it down. I can't bear his enthusiasm.

Clearly F1 is a young man's game

No wonder Liam isn't making any friends, he keeps beating them all and that's not fun

He’s 8th. Not first! And only in qual for the sprint.

He’s a talent for sure, but usually you have to win races before you can become an arse.

[mohikamo]

haven't looked at any stats but i'm feeling the back markers have started to press up a little
field getting even more compressed
getting even more fun

Ha ha. Wet weather playing havoc with qualification. Sayonara Perez and Verstappen. Lawson into q3.

In the lower formulas, Lawson has always had the rep that he excelled in the wet

[Billy Tell]

He’s keeps getting good times when he’s in the elimination zone. Shows steel and good concentration.

[Billy Tell]

In surprising news Verstappen is blaming something.

[canefan]

Albon hits the barrier hard, I guess he won't take part in the main race now. Looks like carnage out there

[Billy Tell]

Our compatriot starts 5th on grid. Survival of the wettest.

Classic eh, if he was in front of the crash and got red flagged, he'd moan about that.

Tsunoda in P3, so the young kids of VCARB had a good morning

[Billy Tell]

Much as I don’t like him O for awesome for Verstappen. But Lawson great finishing 9 holding off Hamilton and most importantly Perez for 15 odd laps. Insane race.

[Bones]

@Billy-Tell 17th to a fifth of a lap faster than anyone else. Ridiculous.
