New pants for Bortoleto!

 

[Junglist]

Was some save that

It is a bit too close for me to the gray they use before the sector has had a time set.

Agree. Needs to be brighter

 

[Mr Jack]

Hamilton clearly feeling optimistic, getting the doughnuts in early.

So nice being back at Australia for the first race. I do miss the university F1 parties we had for the first and last races of the season. Much food and alcohol.

 

[Flibster]

P5 for Albon!

 

[Junglist]

Now they’ve shown their hand. That’s some gap

 

[Mr Jack]

P5 for Tsunoda!

 

[Stumble Bum]

Landooooooo

Great from Yuki and Albon.

Ferrari not looking good at all.

 

[el_dazza]

McLaren pick up where they left off! Ferrari very disappointing there but wow for Williams, superb!

 

[Flibster]

Ooof. P7 and P8 for Ferrari. Not great.

Right. It's 6am. Time for bed.

 

[Mr Jack]

Good showing from McLaren and Russell. Max/Red Bull stronger than expected. Ferrari further back than it looked. Great laps from Tsunoda and Albion. Wow. Not surprised to see Bortoleto ahead of Nico, bad starts from Lawson and Antonelli, decent from Hadjar, and Doohan unlucky to be caught by Hamilton's spin. Haas' revival of last season has come to a shuddering halt.

 

[Flibster]

Bit of a come down from Vegas... A multitude of Rolls Royce limo's to a golf cart...

 

[PikeyPriest]

Hopefully some close mid pack racing this season! Poor from Lawson, Tsunoda showing why he would have been a good pick…

Is the delta stewards investigation for going too slowly?

The Russell incident should be a penalty, he did ruin the lap.
