First stint in a while where Red bull haven’t had worse tyre deg than McLaren. It may be too soon to say but if that tyre deg advantage has gone then the slim hope Lando had of a WDC this year had also gone.

That said Ferrari also seem to have better tyre deg..

I think they need to start putting landmines 2.1m out from the white line. Might stop them a bit.

Or, there would be a lot less infringements.

Oh no lando under pressure

that would be entertaining, but putting a 2m gravel trap 1 cars width from the white line then a nice runoff would do as well i think, goddamnit norris!!

Ocon pit radio - Sorry mate, we need to increase lift and coast for engine temps. Increase lift and coast.

[Mr Jack]

Decent sprint.well done Max.

 

[Stu999]

Entertaining sprint race. Starting to come down on the side of not liking sprint weekends though.

 

[iamtheoneneo]

Let's go!!! GR Max!

 

[uscool]

Looks like that break came at the wrong time

 

[Fr0dders]

Norris chokes under pressure again. I can't seem him winning the championship this year. I desperately want him too, but too many mistakes and RB appear to have found their form again.

 

[Stu999]

Good sprint from Carlos.

Great save from Charles.

 

[Scam]

Ferraris looking pretty good for tomorrow if you ask me. This doesn’t bode well for Norris and the wdc but maybe across a proper Grand Prix that might be different.

I think the cars been really difficult to handle not much time to sort out when you have 1 practice, look at piastri
