Max isn't reeling in Perez quickly enough I don't think. Could do with them switching to get exact podium in the prediction

The RedBulls are so fast they just breezed past the ferraris, mercedes and aston martins. At least 1 second faster than those teams. 2 seconds faster than the midfield and a DRS that gives them an additional 17kph on the straight. Insane car. Definately the best Redbull have ever created in F1, including Vettels go kart.

Norris needs a better team but I can't see where he could go? It's like watching Russell being stuck at Williams

What is the point of McLaren making Norris get out Piastri way? Bar a tailed off Bottas they are last...

Please don't give Alonso a penalty it'll feck my prediction

Horror show for Ferrari even with no engine failures. Fourth fastest team.

OK Max has a rocket car, but a drive from 15th to 2nd us an excellent drive, very clean and mature drive.
I find myself liking Max a bit more than I did.
I know he probably knew he'd get them at the next corner but he was a lot more patient waiting for the right opportunity to pass, rather than diving for a gap that may or may not be there. Also wanting the extra point for fastest lap shows why he's a champion

That's awful from Ferrari and they're in a bit of trouble this season I think. Merc looking to fundamentally redesign their car as it's not working and they're still quicker than Ferrari.

I still can't get over that safety car, it would be at least more interesting race.

Mercedes bitching but they are at least quicker than Ferrari. And could potentially beat Astons because they have reliability on their side, if not their pace.

Max is basically Cristiano Ronaldo of F1.

We'll be seeing these 3 on the podium a lot this year. Good stuff.

Fernando stealing the podium moment anyway, and the trophy, so meh.

Yes indeed. They are simply in another league. So much faster.

I know more fervent fans of the sport may find interest in who is the best of the rest and the middle of the pack etc but not me. It's a wank sport when it's a procession like this.

He is a terrific driver in a terrific car.
But much as I accept his undoubted speed, I am afraid that I can not take to him as a person.

Yeah it's easy to be calm when your car is so much faster it may as well be a different division, but we saw Max's real self during his numerous meltdowns before he was handed his first championship by Masi.
