I'd agree with that. It's noticeably better when he's there and it's obvious he's got some respect amongst teams that some of the others don't seem to have. When Rosberg was there instead it was awful.

Compared to the rest Brundle always seems balanced and impartial and, crucially, he has insight and actually knows what he's talking about. Ted and Crofty have no racing experience or knowledge and are essentially just Hamilton stans with media training.
Are they?
Well Helmut Marko's Caf account thinks so
Is there even any point watching this after Brundle finishes his pit walk?
so wholesome with him and Ocon though.

C4 highlights are on at 1am. Does seem they use this as a little push to the pay wall while pushing for the Americas audience. Don't remember such a late time.
What's weird is for CET the quali live is actually quite late, they seem to have quali around two hours later than the race local time which pushes a bit too late in central Europe even for live viewers. I'm not sure why quali can't be similar to the race time in US and Mexico
Anyway I'll stay up to watch the highlights in HD rather than watch a stream with "crofty and co". I might not pay even if I could they're so bad on Sky. C4 presenters are really good and deserve much better.

I know. It's not in question they have none.

Softs for Max and Mediums for the Mercedes boys
Odds on a Russell love tap to Max on the first corner?
Max starts on softs, both Mercs on mediums will give Max more grip at the start, but will have to pit earlier.
Good start and clean
So much for the draft eh
Merc's pace on the mediums is surprisingly quick
Only going to be a race if the softs don’t last and the hard works on the Merc, Max walks it otherwise
They've been quick all weekend, I saw Russell saying the thin air helps with their draggy car.
Max on softs not pulling has big a gap, as I thought he would.
Hamilton keeping good pace with Max. Surely not?
Alonso train forming up.
As a Max fan I gotta say it would be cool if Lewis wins this. His stans may be insufferable, but Hamilton is a legend.
The Merc hates being in dirty air, Lewis will have to back off a tad, to cool everything down.
Leaders need to make sure they build a gap and can come out ahead of Alonso so probably a dead race up front until then.
Wasn't that the case only for last gen cars?
This is dull
Mercs were very quick last race too, so it's not a big surprise. They look much faster than Ferrari again.
Soft tyres not as fast on this track.
Crofty mentioned it, maybe you are right.
Because of the less dense air everything doesn't cool as well as usual.
Less drag but less cooling also.
Gasly has been watching tapes of Verstappen overtakes I see
Soft for Ferrari does not seem to be working. They may be the first team to pit.
Gasley 5 second pen gor forcing Stroll off, should have been made to give the place back.
He already has 5 sec gap on Stroll.
They are slower than Mercs and Redbull with or without softs, I don't think tires are their biggest problem this race.
Ferrari and their Alphabets
