    Happy with that. Norris in a well deserved 2nd. And 2 Brits on the podium.

    Max was Max, Norris was brilliant, Hamilton drove well (and got some luck), Piastri was great, Perez again finished behind slower cars, Stroll needs to go.

    I just want to say how great the growth of content and conversation has been here in just a few weeks. Let’s see what the McCedes can do.

        Me too. I never commented on Reddit as it would get buried anyways. Today I switched and I already commented twice. I would like to see a good conversation here during live events.

    I’m impressed the Mclarens have been able to keep up with the Red Bull so far

        Max is starting to pull away now. Over 2 seconds between him and Lando.

            Eh, a bit of both, if you ask me. Will be interesting to see when the top 3 pit to go onto hards.

    I just don’t understand why McLaren put Norris and Piastri on hard tyres.

    Even split strategies surely after seeing how long George lasted on softs

      We’ll see, the C1 is a new tire this year. It’s possible most teams underestimated it.

            Wait I didn’t know C0 was a thing. (Unless this means they just binned it, and I’m missing the joke.)

              No they’re still technically available though I doubt Pirelli are actually going to bring them out on any circuit this season. We have six compounds this year, C0-C5.

      I get the hards for Piastri, but soft was the obvious call for Lando. Just strange that they would give him such a disadvantage on the restart.

    Great defense from Norris and Piastri, didnt think they would keep the mercedes behind them.

    I can’t believe how good Lando is defending himself against Hamilton… Impressive!

    Norris sounds pissed, and I can’t say I blame him. What the fuck were McLaren thinking?

    I don’t think giving McLarens hard tires is a good idea… They’re trying to play it too safe.
