Ham needs to pass Ricciardo otherwise this is a bore fest. Ferraris will offer nothing now

Horrible track
Track layout isn't terrible, it's purely location.

Does seem the first DRS could be longer. Plus the third one leading to the stadium does nothing

Straight could be another 300m as crazy as that sounds. But I've never liked the stadium section. They look like they're driving NASCAR's around there

Lewis just magically took 6 tenths out of Sainz amd soon in DRS.

Edit: Backed off. Seems not worth fighting for now.

These cars would have been awesome round the Peraltada.

Agree but they wanted to use the old baseball stadium for something and it's cheaper to just repurpose it

I wonder if Merc being cold on tyres plus seeming having a lot of cooling is giving it's race pace advantage over Ferrari

So easy for Max

Think Ferrari should be glad Max took off. He could have hustled them to the point of ruining their tyres.

Tricky for VER on going for a 2 stop race, he needs to pass quite some cars now.

Yes, we're all here to see Mercedes' pace.
