I fully believe that Merc could do far worse than putting Sainz in their car to replace Hamilton.

Think they should go with their junior driver Andrea. Take a risk and see how it goes.

No headphone shattering action so far.

Kurun dropped his headphones a minute ago he was so excited. Not sure if he was watching the race or something else though…

I'd forgotten about Alpine. They've done an amazing job with that car. Must have taken some work to make it so slow.

I’ve not heard much about them. Although I have heard talk of Sainz going to Audi? (Albeit I’m guessing that’s 2026?)

Yeah the audi move is 2026 when the new engine regs come in as well.

Aston Martin pretty disappointing, I was hoping for more when Alonso qualified 6th

I’d be interested to take a look at their stats compared to last year to see if they’ve made any gain at all… (or if they’ve gone backwards!?!)

Wonder if Zhou could nab Stroll near the end.

Would make sense for Sainz to go to Sauber next year if he's joining Audi and get involved in the development of the new car, etc

So if that Ferrari of Leclerc is broken but he's still all over Russell; how slow is the Merc in race pace?

They are the green ones right? Kick in the visa cash apps ex Alfa 3000?

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Russell buckles under pressure.

Edit: Crofty saying we don't see that often. I feel like we've seen it a good few times.

Yeah the "Stake" team (Ex Alfa Romeo) - Visa CASH App is the Ex Alpha Tauri team
