    "What about those dodgy Pirelli tyres? Any bet we shall have another blowout at this race? A lengthy investigation that resulted in a "nobody is to blame verdict" but a detailed explanation of how to use the tyres. There is something iffy going on there. Either Pirelli has produced dodgy tyres or both Redbull and Aston Martin are up to no good. Something dodgy happened."

    I've read some speculation that tire warmers might be the issue .

    FP1 Bottas 1:33.448

    FP2 Verstappen 1:32.872

    1.8 seconds slower than in 2019. Mercedes looks strong. It will be interesting to see the full analysis of FP1 and FP2. It looks like Red Bull is capable of staying with Mercedes for 1 lap, but Mercedes will have better tire endurance.

    Also there was a comment by Hamilton that he didn't like Bottas chassis (Mercedes swapped chassis this weekend).

    Yea, Hamilton is not happy but Bottas is smiling. Somehow Mercedes has ended up with two chassis that each only suit one of their drivers. This is the main threat to their constructor title fight. One driver is at the sharp ends of the grid and the other would be in the midfield. I think they would at some point have to commit to one driver, so as to have a good chance of winning one or both of the championship. I don't think alternating their chassis at each race would achieve the result they want and it puts Hamilton's title bid in jeopardy.

    It is looking increasingly likely that Redbull would win something this season. With Hamilton compromised by chassis swapping, Verstappen would be fighting half of Hamilton's true potential through a full season. And Redbull with two cars on form would easily steal the constructor's title in a regular two to one battle.

    Mercedes look f*cked! Congratulations F1M you finally did it.

    Analysis shows Mercedes/RB are even with qualifying pace - it will be who hooks it up tomorrow in qualifying. Mercedes has a slight edge in race pace. So the question will be can Perez be up their in the fight to give Mercedes something to think about.

    In the midfield, the battle seems to be with Mclaren and the resurgence Alpine.

    FP3 - Verstappen 1:31.300

    Looks like qualifying should have some good drama.
