"False start"

"No, it was a great start"

Comedy gold

Verstappen is an idiot who only knows how to drive and start in first.

Edit: both RBs drive like they're alone on the track

VER needs to be DSQ-ed. Guy is fucking dangerous with his red mist.

Are all of them driving like idiots now?

Perez-Stroll and Lawson-Perez are under investigation, Colapinto did a stupid move on Piastri..

At least Perez made it past the first corner straight this time.

Aaaand he picked up a penalty already. This man..

Can't say this kind of driving is endearing Max to me.

Another 10 seconds penalty for Max

The fuck is Max doing

Everybody boxing to get fastest lap and Norris simply tries to go for it with his old hards lol

Aston Martin says Alonso's retirement was due to a brake issue related to cooling

Unfortunate. Uneventful end to his 400th race weekend.

Track temperature has dropped by 5 degrees, could impact the grip a lot says Wurz as we see marbels

Smooooooth operator

My completely non-expert prediction: Max goes back to winning ways after Sainz overcooks his engine while Norris gets taken out by a Mercedes. Perez ruins his race trying to get past Magnussen and Hulkenberg finishes in 5th.

This first at apex shit has to change or else both Norris and max will just race to the apex without any regards to making the corner

Leclerc omg

Wowe, 20s total penalties

Contact between Lawson and Perez. Perez has a small hole on his right sidepod.

Another 10s penalty for Verstappen wow.

And another 10 for overtaking and gaining advantage. Howcome now it's 10 seconds, and not last week?

I don't think a penalty is undeserved, but I thought the first 10 seconds were 2 times 5 combined for both incidents or something. It seems very excessive at this point. They essentially killed the most interesting part of the race with this.

Lando in that McLaren is so weirdly gentle on the tyres. Like his outright pace is not ahead of the others but he seems to have minimal degradation. Either that or else he is taking it too easy at the start of the stint and not maximising the entire stint.

Haas holding steady with 7th and 8th. Kmag's keeping up with the Mercs. Impressive stuff so far.

Man everybody is fighting like crazy this weekend

Still no mariachi theme. Sadness.

Norris gaining slowly on Leclerc. He has 15 laps – plenty of opportunities to try and overtake.

I get 10 seconds for the T8 incident but for T4 10 seconds seems excessive especially considering Norris kept the place after T4 by going off track

I mean, this should really be a penalty.

Ouch. There goes Yuki's chance.

That was close for Charles.

Ferrari benefits again from the VER-NOR sparring.

People are gonna make gifs of him sitting out that 20 seconds penalty

The return of VER-PER, but on the last positions of the field

Did they load the Haas fuel tanks with tequila?

Drama from the start!

10 seconds penalty.

Perez just can't catch a break, fired after this race?

Let's go!.. Well..soon

Norris taking a leaf out of the Verstappen playbook. I can see Ferrari sneaking the constructors championship because max and Lando keep fighting each other

Tsunoda trying to impress Red Bull:

So.. either McLaren thinks the hards are really bad and don't want to switch Oscar onto them.. or they want to keep Oscar in that track position to block Max

My expectations are on the floor in terms of entertainment on this track so as long as I get some action I'll be content. Not holding my breath though. We might well get some chaos into turn one lap one, but not expecting a glowing evening of racing.

If I were Lawson I'd be scared for my life with Perez behind

Edit: Looks like some sidepod damage on Perez' car

Gnarly. Seems like both are ok thankfully.

Yet another incident for Williams. Team desperately needs a break 🙏🙏

That was very China 2017 2016 between gasly, albon and tsunoda

10 seconds penalty? That seems kinda inconsistent compared to last race.

Well Lawson could get a penalty for that as well, right?

Lawson about to steal fastest lap from Norris lmao
