As FA said earlier F2 really is the series to watch, far more entertaining than F1.
What happens when you have a largely spec formula, same as the IndyCar opening race too.
Doesn't matter how much money they throw at it and how many times they change the rules and regulations, throughout history there has been period after period of domination from one team who have cracked the code for each era
The feeder series are going to be where it's at for the interesting action. Even if Mercedes bring some huge upgrade it looks like it wouldn't make enough of a difference
Russell gets P3... Alonso gets a 10sec penalty after the crew started working on the car before the initial 5sec penalty was done.
Shame that it had to be decided after the race.
Shame like Singapore last year, that the driver at fault wasn't told, the incident happened over 30-laps from the end, more than enough time for Alonso to try and make the gap
Crazy they did that after Ocon got penalised for the same thing last time out (and also start box error)
Crazy that Mercedes didn't realise that it might be a 10 second penalty and tell Lewis to stay within 10 of Alonso.
I read Alonso was a bit upset, not because of the penalty, but because it wasn’t announced until after the podium. It happened around 35 laps. He implied if he had known about it, he might have tried harder to keep a 10 second gap, and I’m sure Mercedes might have tried harder to close it. This, and the stupid unnecessary pace car make me question the competence of the stewards.

He's got potential at this level, but has a lot to learn
Vesti, Doohan and Daruvala, 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

GPS claiming the car was on track, why not use cameras???
"Dont worry we'll get Alonso when he serves his penalty".
"Penalty has already been served"
"Aww f**k"
