First this safety issue

And now all drivers are making a joke of the track.

Seems like F1 rushed this event without proper arrangements. I know they want to push F1 in USA but this is a shitshow to say the least. I hope Las Vegas does not follow the same route. Or else this will not be a good image for F1.

Yes. I’m concerned F1 is walking into an Indycar Nashville scenario and reputational damage as a result. The comments from the drivers show they feel the same.

Just watching the build up and the all drivers except Max sitting on the edge or standing up in the cars, if the FIA want to make safety such a big thing then I think this is somewhere they can start, or do they not care about that as the drivers parade is FOM related?

I presume we can expect a few safety car incidents and a probable red flag for this race. Potentially another Jeddah brewing keeping the slippy RBR's in play if they fall behind.

Latifi will probably cause a red flag, and I'm really afraid by an outlap on cold tyre during the race with this tarmac.

I think the only thing holding the RB's back behind the Ferrari is the ability/or lack of, to follow the car infront closely. Tyre temps and deg behind the car infront will be relatively high I think.

Given Max is on the clean side of the grid, I think he'll get past Sainz pretty easily off the line - IF the gearbox sync's up nicely.

Sainz is statistically one of the best starters on the grid - better than Max - so I wouldn't be holding my breath if I were you.

Of course. But if the grip off line is anything to go by in other parts of the circuit...then anything can happen.

Good thread (with telemetry and team comments) about Merc's problems yesterday (use translate) :

The track is green again, due to heavy thunderstorms last night, so the racingline will be slippery again.

at this temperatures, I guess it could still be a dry start?!

Rain has stopped, the grid is dry.
The track is just as green as before FP1 I guess...

No Astons on the grid?
