They’re often slow burners here, apparently.

Not gone great for Tsunoda has it

edit: not as bad as I thought now a couple have pitted

He’s not exactly set the world on fire though. Not any better than a Perez performance.

I'm glad I woke up an hour early for this...

Lesson learned for next year.

Better than Lawson though.

 

[Reuben klang]

Better than Lawson though.

All that matters at the moment but RB gonna need to get the 2nd driver to start getting points at some stage soon!

 

[imtoooldforthis]

Top 3 so close yet at no point do I feel like the order is going to change, seems to be no notable tyre deg this race.

 

[Goodie]

this is a borefest

 

[Stu999]

Better than Lawson though.

Nothing to say Lawson wouldn’t have put together this sort of performance though.

 

[Flibster]

Piastri radio - If Lano's still saving, I think he should go soon. I think I have the pace to get Max.

Pit - This is Lando's pace.

Piastri - Ok, Like I said, I think I have the pace to get Max

 

[Journey]

Well for people watching the highlights later in the day, at least it will only last about 3 minutes.

Yeah, Lawson always said the first two races at unfamiliar tracks would be the hardest. Not that this vaunted familiarity with Suzuki has helped him against Hadjar.

Villeneuve is irritating me also. Maybe I woke up in the wrong side of the bed this morning.

Villeneuve is irritating me also. Maybe I woke up in the wrong side of the bed this morning.

He was F1TVs paddock pundit in China and had some irritating moments too.

Sorry to hear he's commentating on Sky

I don't mind him actually. Certainly better than Danica.... For a start he's got F1 experience and actually achieved something in both Indycar and F1.

 

[Junglist]

Well I thought it was starting at 7 but i think I’m glad I missed most of this race as it looks uneventful

 

[Flibster]

Race control - Antonelli time 1:31.238 deleted - track limits turn 17 lap 47

 

[Dup]

Some hopium here but if Lando manages to put wheels alongside Max, I can see Piastri sneaking past both for the win.

 

[Flibster]

C'mon Piastri - stick one down the inside of Norris

 

[utajoker]

Drs, it's not very effective

 

[Journey]

40/53 - current rating 1.5/10 (It's got worse not better! Should have stayed in bed)

50/53 - current rating 2/10 (was looking promising for some actual action!)

 

[imtoooldforthis]

Hamiltons had a poor race. He's been trash on the medium, Antonelli lapping 9 tenths a lap quicker on the hard now.

Been a very good stint from Antonelli to be fair, comfortably the fastest car on track
