Interesting start to the weekend. It looked like Oscar would easily best Max, but Max made the move stick early on and managed to defend. He was just fast in the right places.

The move Charles made on the opening lap was solid as well. But with the top speed deficit he was a sitting duck after the fact.


Qualifying was interesting as well. With the way the weather forecast is looking it's going to be interesting to see who got it right on setup. I'd like to see it stay wet enough to bring driver skill into the equation more.

Overall a horrible weekend for Lewis. Coming to grips with the changes isn't going his way at all.


This is my favorite track on the current calendar, and I hope the weather lets us have a good race. If it stays wet I think there is a lot of potential for a really interesting race day.

Mercedes drivers are not making a very good case that they are the "future" of Mercedes. I really thought Max would compete for pole after his sprint performance. It appears they adjusted his setup (I assume due to the potential rain), and he was sliding into the start of his lap and was on the back foot the whole lap.

It will be interesting to see if Piastri can pull a Max on Norris.

Started interesting, ended dull.
