Anybody think that Mercedes (and Hamilton) can reset, and get back into the argument next season?

It's possible.

They've done well here. Might be a different story in Spain next week.

Nice podium. And in the right order. Verstappen was simply great as was his qualifying round that brought him pole. Alonso by far the best of the rest. Great season for him so far. Ocon the surprise package and deserved to be driver of the day. Perez spoiled his chances in Q1. Unbelievable. The rain made it a bit more exciting for a while.

Didn't Bernie suggest that a few years ago?

No idea

It’s far from ideal abandoning the zero side pod concept 7 races in. They are going to understand how the new tweaks work as soon as possible and a huge chunk of the development budget has gone on this change so not much scope to develop it further later on in the season. Red Bull have a dream machine and it will take other teams a huge effort to catch up.

They do indeed.

Amazing how breaking the budget cap rules is costed against the fine to gain a huge advantage which more than pays for the fine with a future constructors and world title win. Or am I being cynical?

Only so he could borrow the water cannons to wash his dirty cash.

Only if Red Bull stop developing……

You’ll be supporting the premier league’s inquiry into City next.

Has Ted been booted from Sky after his altercation with Crofty?

Brundle and Brooks looked like they were auditioning for his job in P1/P2

 

[TinFoilHat]

Sounds like another thrilling qualification session that will be better than the race.

Mercedes had a "communication error" and smacked each other.

Feel sorry for Brundle, the celebs need f*cking off.

Lots of hangers on paying for access. Must frustrate him.

Bloody piano on the track.

Should keep it there to give Max a challenge.

He has a tough job, sky pay a shed load for these rights so it's frustrating they can't speak to drivers or team principals as they're swamped with celebs.

It's shite for the viewers too as we want to hear from drivers and principals etc. I don't won't to listen to Ben Chilwell.

Every footballer in the world there today seemingly.

I don't get the attraction but to each their own

The branding of millionaires and what they can do with it. I doubt many there are fans but it looks good on their Instagrams

Great start for Stroll, AM have a great car this year.

Ferrari settling for 2nd.
