Bottas and botched tyre nuts....name a better combo
I wish Red Bull would just unleash Max instead of just telling him to build a ~15 sec gap and then drive to a delta. If we can't have competition at the front, at least let us watch Max lap the entire field.
If Red Bull do that, then F1 will start bringing a whole raft of rule changes mid season to try an screw over Red Bull and make them slower
(I mean they tried to do that last year with the floor rulings, but Red Bull ended up getting even better)
Wasn't the floor rulings a late implementation of intended porpoising prevention? Or was there another floor change I forgot about?
Also funny how by the time the floor change was implemented most teams had already fixed porpoising and all it accomplished was making following harder again.
10 laps, 8 seconds in front and not even trying.
Can we just give Max the title, let him take the year off and have a new competition for "second is the first winner"
Carlos gunning for Lewisβ seat next year.
Or Perez's
Leclerc really struggling out there. Brutal.
Max's so ahead he'll reach Saudi Arabia for the next race by the end of this one.
Riveting stuff. Excited there's 23 more races of this. /s
Sainz has REALLY been performing and showing what he can do!
Boy that sauber is.. green.. very green...
at least it stands out from all the blues and, well, blues
Seems like it will be the same as last year
Interesting to put Checo on the softs.
No hards available.
Max with another grand slam
Max is 15 second up the road. I was hoping for a better year with some actual racing involved.
Ah well. Guess Iβll try again in 2026 with the rule changes.
Yuki getting the Ferrari treatment
Lpine
Why aren't we seeing pit stop times?
Really looks like most people underestimated Red Bulls pace advantage, if anything.
Alex have you tried restarting it?
Good luck!
Mom, Max is at it again
Poor Bottas
Yuki doesn't seem quite happy to be asked to swap
I wonder how the relationship between Daniel and Yuki will play out this year?
I'd expect some fireworks - my guess is neither Yuki nor Daniel is there next year (one up / one out)
Nice move from Carlos.
This is suddenly becoming a race of reliability.
Yuki is pissed lmao
Holy shit Sainz what a move
Fucking race director at the end.
Maxito, Don't play with your food
I've never watched a pre-race show before.
Can't wait to get started!!!
Let's go Checo!!
Did F1 run out of contract with AWS to show us timings and stats or what? Or is AWS fucking shit up themselves as usual?
Is Zak getting paid by Sky or something? They always talk to him.
They usually have several of the TPs and team personnel give commentary each race. They rotate week to week.
