15 minutes into Q1 and Latifi has spun off on one lap and crashed on another. Although the crash was Stroll's fault for clearly not looking and turning into Latifi's rear wheel.
Yeah Stroll is an absolute twat for that incident. Even more so when his Engineers busted their arses to get his car even ready for Quali

Stroll’s interview about it was embarrassing. “It was…awkward…”.
Jeez, the only awkward thing going on there was Stroll being on camera trying to downplay how much at fault he was. Take responsibility you massive dickhead.
Thank god for Leclerc who is making this season bearable otherwise Mad Max would have a clear run.
Think Max will be quicker on the long run tomorrow.
Sainz is barrelling head first into Ferrari Second Driver syndrome at the moment.
McLaren have had a huge jump. I think a lot will hinge on Mercs first update in Imola. If McLaren can move so much between Bahrain and here then you have to expect Merc to move a fair bit. Then again RB and Ferrari won’t stand still.
Russell and Lewis did a good job. Both had two runs, both had a go at the tow. Think they maximised that car but my god it looks horrible to drive.
From what I've seen of these cars, and how easy they seem to be to put in the wall, especially at turn 11, it wouldn't surprise me to see someone lower down make a charge up the field and take a podium. Sainz in 9th is the obvious one, or Alonso, who's car looked really dialled in before he hit the aforementioned wall
Leclerc is gonna take some catching. Nice guy and driving well so what’s not to like?
Curious how the RB / Merc pace swings around….. if Imolas update number 1 does anything serious things could start to get closer with them two but Ferrari looks like it’s really driving within itself
Great to see Ferrari back at the top. Great to see Verstappen go out. I do have a feeling Mercedes will unlock the potential within a few races and if so these points could be very valuable to them.
Got a feeling that Lewis doesn't like being behind Russell - Am glad that Mercedes aren't telling the latter to let him past.
Although given the radio exchange prior to Perez getting past Russell - I dont actually think that he would listen.
A bit too early in the season to really mean anything, but it’s nice that both Hamilton and Verstappen are behind their teammates in the standings.
Neither of them will like that and I’m sure they’ll both continue to get the priority treatment from their teams, but it would be interesting if Perez and/or Russell are still ahead later in the season - would Verstappen and Hamilton be forced to suck it up and play second fiddle?

Perez is having a great season in that regard, he's not being slaughtered in Quali this season
Just needs to try and get closer with his race craft.

Well done Leclerc
Sainz unlucky sounds like he had an issue
Mercedes would have been 7th and 8th if it weren't for Alonso and Sainz
Was no where in the first two races, yet they've got four cars into the top ten.
If Mercedes can get a decent package together they could be up there.
COULD!!

can’t believe I’ve gone 40 years not giving a shite about F1 and junior now has me up at 5.45 on a Sunday:-(
Hard was never going to take him to the end of the race

Lets see a Russell podium!!
This is suiting Mercedes in the Constructors
