Everyone on mediums except

Stroll, Hamilton, Tsunoda and Sargeant on the softs

Magnussen on the hard tyre

This race def needs a bit of rain

He is atrocious. Even basic things like speaking to JPM on the grid and had to be told to put a mic in front of him. Plus his commentary skills are terrible.

Rather have Alex Brundle step up to cover his dad.

F1 TV have snapped up Alex, he's very knowledgeable.

Nico is perfect for Sky, he asks stupid questions and hunts for controversial comments which they love.

 

[Flibster]

And Nico also has to work in that he won the championship in 2016 against Hamilton, in almost every conversation.

He did? Haven’t heard him mention it all weekend.

I can’t wait to hear the Dutch national anthem

I love how that the 1st lap wasn't even over yet and the FOM directors aren't even showing Max already as they came to the hairpin at the end of the long straight

 

[chrismscotland]

Yeah much rather see Alex Brundle; he'll get his chance eventually I would imagine.
Rosberg is like an excitable golden retriever

Alonso deserves a better car….

 

[chrismscotland]

Perez not looking like doing much with DRS v Alonso there; that Aston last year on that back straight would have been dire

Tsunoda up 3, DR down 3.

Sad Zhou couldn't repeat his Sprint performance today. Always like to see a driver do well on their home race.

It was interesting on Friday hearing that despite him being from Shanghai, he's never actually been on the track

Long commute from Sheffield!

He'll be ok when they launch the Yorkshire Grand Prix around the carpark of Meadowhall then!

Moved to Sheffield when he was 12/13, didn't he? Guess he didn't have much chance.

Podium sorted

Can't say I'm a fan of the AI generated graphics labels for the cars as they come down the straight, sometimes they work and sometimes they don't.

There's a giant timing tower on the left to show you who is where, damn tik tok generation needing extra things to look at.

Meh, I'm moaning a lot this morning. Typical F1 fan I guess haha.
