    That feels a bit of a joke that Bearman is out, given that the Red Flag panels clearly didnt come on until after he'd crossed the finish line

    I feel like Lewis going to Ferrari isnt going to be the masterstroke akin to when he jumped from Mclaren to Mercedes - Instead it was him jumping before the new kid kicked him out

    Ferrari just arent it!!... Cant see that changing any time soon either

    Ferrari are completely fucked. We just have to hope McLaren don’t drop off so we don’t get another Verstappen title, at least.

    Does Fred last the season if this is consistently what they're got?

    I think the Ragazzi in Maranello will be praying the 2026 spec cars are a reset for them, they've just gone backwards in this latest era, to think 3 or 4 seasons ago they had arguably the fastest car they were just let down by engine failures and a couple of moments of inexperience from their drivers, now they can't even get out of Q2

    It was always likely to be a heart (or bank account) over head move. It’s Ferrari and this is pretty much what they do. The Brawn/Schumacher years were the exception not the norm.

    He does at least seem to be starting to get closer to Leclerc, but I think the car just isn’t very good.

    Piastri is just ice cold. Was worried the traffic was going to cost him!

    Funny isnt it... Its almost like we dont have an issue with him when he drives like this, as we know how f**king talented he is... I thought Russell was going to put him down into P3 as they started the corner.

    He ended the corner in P1!!

    No idea what Gasly thought he was doing out there

    I thought George had him and was surprised he didn't throw a move. Great driving all around

    Also can I just say it's early days but I'm very glad I'm not listening to Croft right now

    Did they say why Ocon pitted? Gambling on a Safety car and hoping to run all the race on the hards?

    Take nothing away from Verstappen, because he took the opportunity beautifully, but not sure what Piastri was doing there. Pretty much invited the move.

    Only reason I can think of, they didnt change his front wing so he didnt have damage

    Remind me what people see in Colapinto, other than pound signs?

    He was too focused on covering Russell for some reason.

    Even if Russell had got alongside, he'd have been on the outside coming out of the chicane, there is no way he'd have got ahead of Piastri

    I think they've decided 24 races is just too many so they take a couple of weekends off. I know Brundle does it more regularly which is why sometimes Button, Chandhok, Davidson or others have been the second commentator at certain races

    Not been mentioned, Brundle did get his OBE this week though so might have gone away. Crofty seems to pick and choose now.
