I like to try and be realistic, but all of my brain is thinking about a shock Alonso win today. I'm willing it into existence.

Cant really see anything but a Max win today, suppose there is a bit promise with that good lap from Laclerc yesterday

Magnussen pit radio - Just a quick reminder that, don't be surprised if you hear me talking to you on the formation lap as I am allowed to do that.

Max will just drive off into the sunset but hopefully something exciting will happen in the upper midfield.

Sargeant pit radio - Sarge, it's your first race start. Have a good one. I'm sure it's gonna be your first race of many. Do your best . We'll be there for you. Have a good one.
