He’s so universally hated too, by everyone. Really brings the sport together.

Max with a fast FP3 , lets see if that transfers to qualifying.
Yeah want to see if this carries over to the Qualifying, feel like Hamilton can step up a gear.

But if not, and their progress continues like this, surely this is the season for Max?

I have been following this sport since only last season, but have already had enough of the Mercedes dominance.

Regarding Mazepin. I've read there was a driver a few years ago that was so bad, that FIA had his superlicense revoked after five races. Could this happen to Mazepin, or was the other driver worse than him?

edit: his name was Yuji Ide, and it was four races.

I dont take a much notice of FP to be honest, some of Lewis best laps have come in Q3, but agree Max is looking good, should be a decent fight this year.
Mercedes are the best at the moment and I dont see that ending any time soon.

I've got the buzz again regarding F1. It's been a good 4-5 years since i paid real attention but for some reason, the teams and the driver line ups have got my attention.

Quali will be interesting!

Was really worried about having Verstappen instead of Hamilton or even Bottas as my main driver in the fantasy league, but feeling a bit better after that Q3. Subbed in Leclerc for Norris though.

Ide was definitely worse than him, was nearly 3 seconds off his teammate in his first qualifying and only got banned after he rolled another car. Though on his form in the junior formula, Mazepin will likely do the latter as soon as he gets through the first couple of corners.

Ok, and now that Norris is on pace with Mercs and Red Bull, I regret subbing him out in fantasy league.

When Mazepin isn’t busy spinning off the track he seems to really enjoy ruining other drivers quali laps.

It's a shame his daddy sponsors the team, I'd love a few drive to Survive episodes of Gunther dealing with him being useless but as daddy sponsors them, he won't be able to say what he really thinks of him.

Red Bull dominance was equally boring.

Ooh did he just say its going to be rain tomorrow?

Love a wet race!
There's gonna be rain tomorrow but not certain there will be any in the race.

Interesting to see Perez being sent out on the softs. And that lap from Russell on mediums is amazing.

Oh that's a shame hope it rains in the race makes it much more exciting

I want to see Russell in Bottas' Mercedes, didn't realise he was on Mediums and is up with those on softs and in a Williams!

Cringing a bit at the marshals stood at the side of the track, aren't they usually behind barriers?
