This anthem always goes hard!

 

[el_dazza]

Now that's a national anthem, albeit a menacing sounding one

 

[Mad_Jay]

Probably the most patriotic sounding anthems of the year on the grid, just the locals screaming the country name a few times.

I weirdly love it haha.

Edit: Seems I'm not the only one

 

[Terminal_Boy]

This national anthem is mental.

 

[uscool]

Great Anthem

James Vowles suggesting rain possible in an hour.....

 

[cuke2u]

FIA have a less than 20% of rain for the F1 race this afternoon; was a chance of light rain this morning though.

James Vowles thinks it's coming in the race.
Snap...

If Sky say it's coming at any point then you can immediately rule it out

 

[chrismscotland]

I'd almost like to see both McLaren's not finish and Max take the full 25 points, try and get this back to a 3 way title fight

Even happier crofty isn’t on this weekend he’d be spunking his loads over the possibility of rain

I mean when the inevitable DRS train happens and everyone starts following each other 2 seconds apart after the first few laps, what else will they have to talk about?

 

[Vinno]

I don't know if I want there to be rain or not.

On one hand it creates chaos - especially here. So we'd get a nice exciting race.

But on the other hand I think it'll be bad for McLaren and I want Lando to get something done lol.

[bennyx_o]

Piastri looked to move before the lights went out and now down to last

[Trusty]
