russell sounded like he got an indication earlier on before the pit lane entry as he was much slower than those ahead. So I'm not sure why he didn't go down the pit lane. If it's a misfire or a glitch or something you'd look a bit silly diving into the pits. If it's PU it's very unlikely they'd be ...

So is this going to be a standing start then? I've lost track.

Twitter says yes, so it could be further mixed up.

Shame for Albon but so releved that he wasn't spat out into the path of that Alpine. It was pretty close and could have been awful.

wolfticket

Even thought Red Bull clearly have a decent gap, having probably 3 teams fairly closely matched for pace behind them is much healthier than a gap to 2nd then a gap to the rest as there often is. The chances of someone make big gains in development is higher and it's more difficult to cover gains fro...

wolfticket

Given the pit infraction was on lap 20 odd and (while harsh) is was absolutely clear cut *why* didn't they call the penalty until after Alonso had stood on the podium? There's no reason it shouldn't have given during the race, which would have actually affected the closing stages. Not just for Alons...

Pretty rare, but same as the top 3 on track: Perez, Verstappen and Alonso.

So Alonso receives a 10s penalty. Did they touch the car too early, or was it because he served it during SC?

They touched the car. Jack was in position while it was being served.

That would be a strategically wise order. But would the drivers agree uniformly?

Judging by Perez's radio, the answer is no. I thought Max might be more likely to agree to call it because of his driveshaft concerns, but...

I think Red Bull might make the call to nurse both cars home. They have the gap to third.

Anyone know why Saragent’s first lap time was deleted in Q1?

He crossed the pit-lane line before turn 1.

wolfticket

Shame stroll made that mistake. However, he was only 0.140 off Alonso. We have to admit that if alonso is rated as highly as he is and Stroll is only that far off even witha mistake in the lap is not half bad. And Stroll obviously missed all testing. But Stroll's mistake did cost him many positions...

Ferrari engines, Red Bull transmissions. Things looking up for the green team.

I don't think he'll move directly to another team from Mercedes but I could seem him retiring then being attracted back. Maybe to a new high profile project where the budget is quite high but initial expectations will be relatively limited. Basically what Michael Schumacher did after his huge succes...

Given all the ruined laps I can see some penalties coming out in qualifying for blocking. Penalties are best case scenario. I really wouldn't be surprised if there is a big accident at some point here in practice or quali. There are a lot of plates spinning in order to stop it from happening with t...

Race doesn't bode well for the rest of the season for those that don't want to see complete dominance. I'd say just one page of comments at race end, for the first race of the season, is a pretty damning reflection of excitement or levels of interest this race/year. If not for Aston Martin & Alonso...

Unless attacking has totally ruined them his tyres are younger than those around him

Sainz is now a podium target

Leclerc just seems to dial into a car a lot quicker than Sainz. It was the same at the start of last year.

The it's really nice that Sky have every onboard available but unfortunately they seem to be on the app (for me at least) about half a lap behind Sky TV, which make it a bit pointless.
I am tempted to us live pause on Sky to sync them. I guess being a little bit behind isn't really a problem.

wolfticket

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose...

I do think the gaps (or lack thereof) bodes very well though. Red Bull having two runs in Q3 probably exaggerated the gap to the rest a bit. It really feels a bit like RB, Ferrari, Merc and Aston are all there or there abouts

Stroll still really struggling with his injury. Sky just showed him totally changing the position of his hands on the wheel to get enough rotation in T1.

wolfticket

Very good drive that from Leclerc.

wolfticket

Safety car. Lapped cars between Perez and Leclerc allowed to unlap themselves. Perez gets him on the last lap

wolfticket

Perez is going to struggle to get this done. Took life out of his tyres pushing early. Unless they go off a cliff tyres of different ages naturally converge somewhat.

wolfticket

Could be win win for Ferrari. If they do actually pit again Perez having to push now and potentially hurting his tyres could leave him a sitting duck anyway.

wolfticket

One for the history books how on earth Ocon ended up with more points than Alonso this season.
