Good job Lando, Piastri will probably be kicking himself he isn't on the front row.

Lando will go backwards from the lights out as per anyway.

Good work Lando. That red bull looks a handful over a lap, let alone a race distance

 

[jonneymendoza]

Lando smashed it

What a lap from Norris - Vers fans celebrating P1 for about 2 seconds

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Fair play to Perez, he's remembered he's a Red Bull driver. Only took half of the season...
Let's see where he finishes in the race tomorrow though. Hoping for a poor Norris start and Piastri getting them both.

No norris is the only hope for stopping max winning

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Doesn't bother me. I'd far rather see Piastri win this race.

 

[Stu999]

Not a big fan of this track TBH. Not sure what the race will be like.

Prior to this season I was all for Norris winning, but his current damp personality puts him at the bottom of my list.

Would rather see Piastri win; hell, would rather see Lewis win as even he wasn't as sulky.

F1 Academy Race 1 starts in a few minutes, Brit Abi Pulling on pole.

 

[Mad_Jay]

Heavens opened on the formation lap whilst on slicks, so the race organisers abandoned the start so they could all fit wets and then they will go again.

Hopefully it will be a standing start, but with the SC at the front of the grid I predict a rolling one.

Missed quali but just seen the results! Great lap from Lando!

 

[GravyMonster]

Piastri seems to have a lot of support simply for being the 'quiet new boy'. Lando is objectively the faster driver right now - when he can string it all together.

Norris is the last hope. The rest ahve no chance of winning teh title away from max

And it won't be a thing for the rest of the day, race has been rained off and postponed until tomorrow morning.

Would rather see Max win it though, unless Charles or Alonso can magically find bonus points doing community service or something.

Albon's car's been referred to the stewards for Alleged breach of Article 3.5.1 a) of the FIA Formula One Technical Regulations –Floor body found to lie outside the regulatory volume.

Amazing lap from Norris.

The Mercedes behaviour seemed weird. Lewis fastest through most of q1 with a great opening lap, with Russell struggling and over half a second behind.

Then in q2 it was pretty much reversed

Very odd
