    It's amazing how often that sort of thing happens to Bottas/Perez rather than Hamilton/Verstappen. Small margins I guess are what make them great.

    Would have been much more fun to have just left Latifi's car there until the end of the race, and let everybody get on with it for the final 3 laps.

    Maybe all the non-overtaking circuits should just install massively dangerous kerbs to liven things up.

    Toto just said Lewis was not running the new engine from Brazil in this race.

    That could make things very interesting.

    Yeah, I thought this was known earlier (the BBC mentioned it in their bit about Horner being less pissy because the speed differential wasn't actually that big in qualifying yesterday). Presumably Horner wasn't aware of this fact either.

    One of the great chancers, Frank Williams. I don't think he really had any money until some time into the late 80s or early 90s.

    I was surprised to read, that the most common F1 podiums shared is Hamilton, Bottas and Verstappen.

    I've seen five seconds of Sharl Leglerg having a crash but I feel that qualifies me to assert that the proximity of the barriers and sandiness of the track is going to mean safety cars out the wazoo on Sunday.

    I'm predicting ZERO overtakes this weekend. Even though it been designed with those long, high-speed sweeping corners, it's just way too narrow.
    Probably great fun to drive around during practise, but during a race, going side-by-side at 180mph with a wall 1 metre to your right... Can't see many taking that risk.

    Hamilton in the stewards room.

    Not sure impeding Mazepin should be an offence, mind. Ignoring yellows more problematic.

    The yellow flag didn't show on his wheel system so it sounds like he's been a very lucky boy.

    Slow cars are going to cause a big issue in Qualy here.

    I'm getting horrible premonitions of cars flying over those barriers after contact in sector 3. They don't look high enough.

    Horrible general aesthetic at this circuit, might as well be driving around a car park.

    It does indeed look absolutely awful. I’ll go over 3.5 crashes and fuck all overtakes.

    Why does Carlos Sainz's very Spanish-sounding engineer talk to him in English? Guessing they make them speak English for the broadcast, but even so, doesn't that unfairly disadvantage those without English as a first language?

    Some serious code brown moments out here. With cars side by side in the race there's going to be a massive shunt or two, surely.

    Jesus, that was going to be the most epic lap for many a year from Verstappen there.

    His dash said he was 0.38s up entering the final hairpin. The lap was genuinely insane up until that point, it was on course to be one of THE great laps.

    Aye. On the absolute edge throughout, nearly hitting every wall and then, well, shame really.

    It reminded me of one Hamilton chucked in in Singapore many years ago.

    It doesn't take much, Leclerc broke one doing the same sort of thing in Monaco. Anyway, five places is nothing, he'll have that back inside a few laps.

    As Hamilton showed in Brazil, grid places for these two are only relative to each other, the other 18 drivers aren't in the same postcode.

    Verstappen is getting too much credit everywhere for going fast for two sectors when the aim of the lap is to finish it the fastest, so he was obviously going faster than his talents allow.

    I don't know. That level of commitment, and pure pace, particularly given the circumstances of the title race, mark him out as being pretty special. Hamilton's experience won over Verstappen's impetuosity in the end, but that was a pretty special lap up until the final corner.

    Agreed. It was phenomenal to watch. Totally committed and almost binned it 12 seconds in. Today's going to be carnage, though. Too many people have had moments. The speed of the track and lack of run-off is going to bring out a red flag.

    Goosebumps stuff that Q3. Insane speed, insane commitment, insane bravery. Verstappen set the tone in T1/2, scraping the barriers on the exit. Brutal stuff. Do agree a bit re the danger of the track, although they're gonna be 10-11 secs down at the start of the race. But it reminds me a lot of Valencia, and we all remember the Webber incident...

    Hamilton drove the car on the edge which is what great driving is. Driving it over the edge is just bad driving, no matter how flashy it looks in parts.

    I admire his chutzpah in going for it. Hamilton also did very well to put his own lap in at a time which forced/baited Verstappen to take those risks.
