Ricciardo should be destroying Tsunoda if he wants the RB seat again, they may as well just put Lawson straight in in my opinion.

Once he gets a clear air and he should be quicker?

McLaren really need some straight-line speed, even with the DRS it's just chugging slowly.

Should be, he overtook before the last DRS zone by the looks of it.

K-Mag having an absolute mare. The McLaren’s are so slow down the straight, like Mercedes in 22/23. The Mercedes isn’t even that quick on the straights this year either.

So far this has been marginally better than Bahrain, still quite dull though. Verstappen 15 seconds clear of 3rd already :fp:

Hamilton is doing a true champion driving to avoid Piastri.

The Ferrari, McLaren and Sauber liveries look so damn good under this lighting

Norris needs a SC so badly. Soft tyres aren't going to help him pass anyone with that pathetic DRS top speed.

I was wrong about the Sauber livery to be honest, didn’t like it in the press release/pictures, but the green pops on track.

Hulk in 10th, basically what Magnussen was doing :lol:

Piastri :fp:

This Bearman and Hamilton battle could be at least a bit exciting towards the end. I think Lewis will get it done on much better tyres. Not sure Norris will be able to though, with that DRS.
