Good effort from Kvyat to be P6. Gasly probably felt he could have been at least there but his car had a damaged floor from Q1 which is a shame.

JN23

So, tell me, did Russell have a 1 lap reputation prior to F1? Five poles out of twelve in F2 - Albon had three! Four out of eight in GP3 Was looking at Formula 3 European Championship from 2015/16 but it looks like cars might be important there. Stroll dominated in 2016 and Leclerc was only fourth ...

Now watched all of today’s race. Mazepin is an idiot, I think his defending was over the line four times in those closing laps. It was similar to what Schumacher did to Barrichello in Hungary that time.

Two five second penalties for him. No penalty for Tsunoda.

Good drives from Tsunoda and Zhou.

JN23

Oh no

pressure got to me

JN23

That was so close. I think we can call that a really good job from Russell.

I was wrong about Red Bull being off the pace here, surprised me.

Really good job from Kvyat.

JN23

Leclerc!!!

I think the Merc tyres didn’t look brand new on that first run so maybe more to come

Albon is getting worse
Think that was Red Bull being very casual, decent in Q2 so far from him.

So close between the top four right now.

Well this aged badly

Are Ferrari trying to get knocked out?

I have the odd bet on F1 but found it difficult to get value this year with the Mercedes dominant. Don’t know who you’re using Dolomite but SkyBet each way is the top two.

So it's not Hamilton that's stopped Bottas from winning more races? Yes but not exclusively. With only one Mercedes and all else being equal (I know...) Bottas takes 6 wins. Lewis has 11. As much as I feel Bottas is underrated, he's not always following Lewis home. 6.. but unlucky not to be 9. Silv...

JN23

Red Bull or bust for Albon according to Horner, so sounds like Tsunoda will be driving for Alpha Tauri.

I wonder what Red Bull do in 2022 if Tsunoda is beaten by Gasly and Albon struggles again.

JN23

Listening on bbc five live. Palmer and Nichols are good to listen too. Seems like Bottas would have been faster than Russell had he not exceeded track limits, but BBC guys reckon Russell was a lot more neat and tidy whereas Bottas was more on the limit. Looks like it’ll be close between them two. T...

well, my impression is that russell is indeed doing very well. But this still doesn't show what many seem to be thinking. Bottas i'll admit is currently underperforming.This doesn't already mean Russell is clearly better with this little evidence. Bottas is not usually this far down in practice.He'...

Should Russell continue to embarrass Bottas this weekend (BTW I doubt that will happen) it will no doubt lead to a review of Bottas relative ability. Should it not also lead to a review of all the drivers Russell's been paired with? Russell being paired with anyone who we have a read on their abili...

Shame that Illot didn’t qualify further up to make it more interesting in light of Schumacher’s troubles!

They need to sort out the track limits on turn 8, it's the trickiest corner on the track and what some drivers are doing is just a joke,

I think Verstappen was told on the radio that it’ll be monitored from FP2 onwards

Sounds like Perez will use an already used PU, so no penalty.

I see what TGH means by Russell/Bottas’ future shouldn’t be determined by a one off race (or possibly two with next weekend), but if Russell matches or betters Bottas it is very hard to see how Merc keep Bottas on for 2022. In that instance you’d only think Russell would get better with more time in...

No evidence.

But do you think 'Williams' have been given an incentive to let GR drive for merc.

Lower engine costs or more expertise next season.

No proof, I'm just speculating for fun.

It’d be surprised if there wasn’t some sort of deal which led to Russell driving for Merc this weekend.

JN23

I don’t think Red Bull will be as good as some on this thread think. They weren’t great in Monza. McLaren were second best there. The top part of the loop might bring it back towards RB a bit as I’m sure downforce will be useful there but not convinced there definitely going to the number two team h...

JN23

With Russell taking Hamilton's seat for the last two races with no contract agreed between Hamilton and Mercedes, is it possible that Hamilton will be stranded without a drive for 2021 if Russell outperforms Bottas in both races? Mercedes might just tell Hamilton that his salary demands are too hig...

JN23

I’ve gone for the Bottas ahead in both option. Hard task for George to come into a new car and be close straight away but if he does that, fair play! He could get close if he races for Merc in Abu Dhabi though. The shorter circuit might make gaps closer than normal - 0.3s over a 90 second lap is clo...

Safe to say Haas’ driver announcements have been overshadowed in the last two days.

A small part of me (well, a huge part of me) would love, LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVEEEEE it if they gave the seat to a female driver. Mercedes publicity would go through the roof, even after all the support they gave to Hamilton and the equality cause, they have nothing to lose at this point. On the other ha...

JN23

Minor point but ‘get in there George’ doesn’t have the same ring to it as ‘get in there Lewis’.

Also hope Aitken can put on a good performance too.

JN23

There’s the potential for a crazy race or a boring DRS train race.

Vandoorne stood in for Alonso once, at Bahrain actually, and outqualified Button.
