Quali looks like it could be interesting; McLaren looking more on the pace today; but looks like an 8 way fight today..... even including Perez

 

[.:MBK:.]

surprised Sky give JV a live mic

 

[Mr Jack]

First and second place in the F2 sprint are currently taken by drivers in their first F1 race!

Mini also making that Prema look good, showing up Antonelli and Bearman here

Race control will be wanting a word with that marshall.

Not really, Antonelli qualified 2nd to Mini's 9th8th. Remember that the sprint race uses a reverse grid.

With the car on fire, surely he needed to come on track?

 

[Mr Jack]

Looks like Bortoleto may leave here leading the championship. I hope rumours linking him to Sauber next year pan out. Not that Bottas deserves to lose his seat, but Bortoleto is much more exciting a driver.

Just a brake fire, not sure that justifies standing directly in the path of any other driver that didn’t clock the waved yellow.

It was safety car by that point, although it hadn't picked them up yet, and whilst it was a brake fire that fire will spread if not extinguished.

Anyone watching on Sky F1 UHD have a weird artefact on screen like a transparent box in the bottom right quarter of the screen?

Edit - seems to have cleared up now.

 

[chrismscotland]

Just realised, no Brundle this weekend either?

HD only for quali here in Germany

Interesting to see Merc running on mediums.

 

[Terminal_Boy]

HD only for me, I’m afraid.

Starting to get a feeling Verstappen is getting desperate. I have an idea that if he loses more points to Norris this weekend his toys and pram will be rapidly parted.

I’m guessing the new floor hasn’t helped the car’s stability.

 

[Stu999]

Commentator completely misses the wonky wheel on the Alpine.

 

[Flibster]

McLarens strategy team working well then.

 

[chrismscotland]

Poor from Norris

 

[UTmaniac]

Oh Lando, yellow flag S3.

So, onwards to 2025 season then?
