I wonder if we'll see Russell in a Merc next year, he got some great pace out of that car, even though it was only FP1/2

I doubt it. They say Lewis is about to sign a further contract with Merc and I doubt he would want competition from a teammate again.

He has no team-mate competition in the first place, just a Wolf puppet and blocking aid

I didn't notice a difference when "AUDIO UP" appeared onscreen.

I did, commentators don't talk and there is a slight volume increase in engine volume

Nikita Mazepin's Utter Inability To Race A Formula 1 Car Is Getting Funnier By The Week

I would like to officially change my position on whether or not Nikita Mazepin deserves his Formula 1 seat. Mazepin still doesn’t deserve it, but let’s keep giving it to him anyway because he’s been nothing but hilariously and delightfully bad.

I don't see him getting a seat next year, if he even makes the end of the year.

Sainz is certainly putting some ears on clucky, nice to see Perez up there.

What a move from Max!

 

[satanboy]

Lewis was having a nap.

What a move from Max!

Only bettered by two moves from Lewis?

I have booked Kimi an optometrist appointment for next week Wednesday....

LH was just lucky.

I am glad that we got to see some of the midfield action though, some proper racing happened. I was a bit confused as to why Perez was left out so long, I know there was not really a proper gap for a pitstop for him, but I do think they should have got him on better tyres earlier.

So they took the fastest lap away from Max?
