      Norris retaining the lead on lap 1 🤯

      Yet another bizarre starting tyre choice for Hamilton from Mercedes. Why…

      E: oops this was meant to be a fresh comment not a reply to yours lol

    Nooooo Albon’s out.

    Colapinto’s doing a fantastic job holding Perez behind.

    McLaren wanted at least a 5 second lead for Norris from Verstappen. It’s currently 13 seconds.

      It’s been so sad to watch him since Abiteboul convinced him to leave Red Bull. Turns out he’s HIGHLY dependent on the car matching his driving style, and Red Bull had that car.

      If only he had stayed, or if he had adapted enough to get Pérez’s seat, I think his career trajectory would’ve been very very different.

      Honestly it was just a fan token for his goodbye. He did nothing to deserve it in this race

    Norris finally has a good start.

    Albon down to 15th yikes.

    Hamilton’s gonna have to nurse those tires for a while.

        At least Albon felt so… Franco saw his chance and squeezed everyone out

        It wasn’t. Colapinto did make an agressive move but broke no rules nor put anyone at risk.

        I think Albon assumed Colapinto would bow to him and was surprised by the move, that’s all

        This wasn’t the track for a mid race 360 like Max sometimes does so Lando instead checked the fitment of the front wing and the right rear tire just to keep the mechanics sharp.
