Really didn't think the Mclarens could hold that on the hards. That was spectacular.
Hope we dont have track limits ruining the race afterwards again.

Awesome start by Lando. Feels like Max is inevitable though.
- he already got him at lap 5 now.
- Both mclarens managed to pull a nice gap from Ferrari though! These upgrades have been amazing for them.
- Perhaps not as inevitable as we thought!
- Best friend Max letting his buddy lead the race for a few laps.

It wouldn't be an F1 race without a funny Ferrari radio.
- Sounds like the race engineer didn’t know the strategy either. Lol

Just 3 more laps Norris pls stay within track limits 🙏🙏

Mclaren nooo why hards??
- I think I’m this was all that what was available for them.
- If this works out and Norris holds for the last few laps from Hamilton, oh my god.
- Turns out they seem to make it.
- McLaren engineer lost at the front row

Looks like it's time for another listening of the dutch national anthem.
- Hahaha. You never know, but yeah good luck to the rest.

I forgor xD

Have fun today! I’m Dutch but I’m rooting for Lando today! 🚀
- Welp that was fun while it lasted!

Well this race went from yay to meh really fast
- yeah not much happening rn. Unfortunately the rain just missed the track.

A Williams car passed a Ferrari. It successfully defended against a Ferrari. And it was ahead of BOTH Ferraris.
And Norris P2! Piastri P3 would've been icing on the cake, but hey P4 as a rookie? Impressive.

The McLarens have held onto their positions so far. Very impressive.
- I'm not a fan of the team or the drivers, really, but it's always great to see teams stepping it up. Hoping for a competitive next season!
- Agreed! Both the upgrades and driver’s performance have been spot on so far!
- Yeah, I'm surprised with the McLaren performance this race. They've dealt with Mercedes so well.

Insane stuff from Norris. Holding off Hamilton while on the hards is such a monumental feat.
Unfortunate situation for Piastri. Deserved that podium, but I think he'll be happy with a P4 as a rookie.
Happy to see Williams eventually get some points.
Disasterclass for Ferrari.

Oh yes Lando! These McLaren upgrades seem like the real deal.
It definitely seems like the pack over the last few races are closing up to red bull (probably because they are focussing on next year)
Perez showing why someone else should be in that car this weekend.
- I really hope lando gets a good start this time.
  
  It wasn't too shabby was it.
  
  I'd love to see Max and Lando duke it out on equal terms

Ooof, Ferrari 9 and 10…

This race better not have a load of penalties given out in the next few hours due to track limits.

What was Stroll doing there?
- Well deserved penalty for that ridiculous move. Poor Gasly, he was pretty quick today.

Well, Alpine taking the worst day trophy from under Ferrari's nose.

Piastri would have gotten third if not for the safety car. That's crazy.

Actually very interesting race

Verstappen more on top of Ferrari strategy than Ferrari.

I really hope Piastri can make it to the podium but I think the Hards just killed that :(
Lando understandably pissed as hell
- we can be lucky if Norris makes it to the podium

Ofc stroll is involved, he's seriously dangerous
- I still haven't forgiven him for tying to run vettel over at the finish line last year

McLaren handling those hards like champs :O

It's a shame about AM, feels like they have fallen off in these two last races.

This SC has worked only for Mercedes.

Safety Car!

McLaren pulled a Ferrari

That Williams is now a certified midfield car, love to see it.

Ferrari strategy strikes again
- yeah why did they pit leclerc so early?
  
  he was holding up Russell, they were just being nice
  
  Feels like they could've pit sainz with soft as well

I hope those hards work out

Norris: I'm chilling hbu?
- But how many moreaps can you do!?

nooo oscar lost the p3 with this SC i guess? :(
- yeah he got screwed
  
  also hamilton with softs behind norris on hards… maaannn cmon mclaren.

Oh man bad luck for Piastri.

Is Pep Guardiola in with Mercedes?
- yea he‘s in the garage next to Toto.
- Yup
- Gopd eye! ESPN just tweeted a pic of them togeyher

I'm not that familiar enough with what it's supposed to sound like, but isn't that a rather poor interpretation of the British national anthem?

Can Albon sneak past Alonso? Here's hoping!
- well at least he gets DRS to defend against Leclerc

perez still p14 lol.
- Such a shame to see him foundering so much in the 2nd quarter of the season. Would love to see a closer championship force him out and some driver shuffling!

Podium and Shakira. Not a bad weekend for Lewis really.

aston martin struggling

Well this race is a surprise

Will Stroll get a penalty for that?

Love Zach brown beating everyone up with high fives and excited hugs lol

Hope we get some rain as well.
- Looks like it already is raining. The colour of the track has changed.

Oof sainz
- My man had a train run on him, that pass from Checo was beautiful though.

Norris squeezing everything out of those hards. 👏👏

McLaren might not end up with a podium at all here :(
- Norris putting up an amazing fight tho!
  
  About to unseat Checo as minister of defense.

What's going on with Aston Martin? They're struggling and they had such a good start of the season.
- Mercedes, Ferrari, and McLaren all brought pretty major upgrades in the last few races and AM haven’t. It’ll be interesting to see if they can cling on for the rest of the season. In situations like this the cost cap might make things less competitive since the established teams have such better facilities.
  
  I completely forgot about upgrades.

Did Crofty really just say an Eminem line? This feels surreal lol
- George Russel goes round the outside, round the outside, round the outside?
- Yeah I heard Ben Edwards on F1TV say the same thing.
- what did he say
  
  2 girls going round the outside, while talking about russell

McLaren need to use both cars around the pit stops to try get past Max again.
- I think they’ll be focused on staying 2-3 rather than gambling for 1st. Max is inevitable.

Hope the rest of them comes here from reddit

Lando P1. Turning it off now. I saw all I needed to see.
