Didn't expect to see Charles on pole! That was a mega lap.
Hopefully, he can carry that pace into the race. Don't want to see another Red Bull win.
I expect as soon as DRS is enabled he'll get murdered by the Red Bulls down that long start/finish straight, even though they have shortened the DRS zone a bit.
That's exactly what I'm expecting but I live in hope.
Finally... He puts in the type of performance that showed how much he deserves to be in Formula 2
Got a strong dose of luck in the process, and thought the last restart against Daruvala was a bit too conservative, but in hindsight think he was the only one with the sense to be cautious on his brakes
Pahahaha... Hook Verstappen's whinging to my veins about being squeezed!!
If he tries to go round the outside (round the outside!), surely on a tight street circuit like this he has to yield to the racing line. Granted Russell went a little wider but why the hell not, he's got the right to do that to stitch Verstappen up? Fair assessment?
Is what happens when Red Bull allow that little prick to act like he can get away with everything
It's a shame because they've got some cracking junior talent in the lower formulae. Can see the 2 AT drivers getting ditched for Liam Lawson and whoever places higher of Iwasa/Hauger.
I'd be curious to see what Bearman's route to F1 would be IF he made it
There is no way he's stepping straight in to replace Carlos Sainz etc. if he were to win the title this year
Haas is the obvious choice, but will they want another rookie after Schumacher
Long way to go in his career yet though
I was just thinking about this. Alfa is being sold to Audi so that's a no go , Haas don't want rookies so I don't see a logical route for Ollie.
Still very young of course.
Isnt 18 for another week either, so at the moment isnt old enough to take part in F1 Free Practice as a Young Driver - This is just one weekend though, Bearman still has a lot to do, might even be worth him deliberately not winning the title this year (If thats possible), so he can at least take part in F2 next year.

Although tell that to Logan Sargeant, wont be surprised if he isnt involved later on
Leclerc got away with it

I have no issue with their dominating
But the fact they always play the victims... GP telling Max that they know how to overtake cleanly
Absolute bullshit

Great start from him though
This is a decent battle between Bearman and Pourchaire
Just need to start seeing consistency from him now
Only missed out on the Fastest Lap to secure maximum points from the entire weekend
Finally, starts his F2 season.

He needs to show this sort of performance week in, week out.
