That was crazy with the rain and stewards messing around with lap times... Track surface is terrible, this is far bellow an F1 standard. Great job by Lando, well done!

And they call it a stall. A STALL!

Leclerc always struggles in wet conditions vs his teammates. He looked to have the measure of Sainz in the dry but when I saw the rain I knew Sainz would be ahead.

So they reinstate the lap after lewis was told to stop pushing because the lap was deleted for Norris

Lol no.

He had Zhou half his lap in front of him, unlucky with the timing and plenty of drivers made mistakes in these conditions.

Meanwhile Hamilton did his stuff only one proper timed lap…

You can break down the data. Leclerc has a losing H2H vs his teammates in wet qualifying sessions. He just put the car in the wall on his out lap. It speaks for itself.

It's the complete opposite in the dry where Leclerc wins the H2H by a good margin.

Stewards changing the rules on the fly? What are the odds? 😏

If the lap was incorrectly deleted it should be reinstated, obviously.

Right when they see Hamilton top they do something they have never done before!

What a joke…
This view seems biased!

Lando 'the superstar' Norris rightly set the fastest lap. There is no advantage to running wide over a gravel trap to start the lap.

P2 is good chance for Sprint points for a mid-pack team like Mercedes-Benz and Sir Lewis will be well pleased with that excellent achievement, but its McLaren as the top 3 team who are more likely to win the Sprint or compete with Red Bull in the sprint.

Did Verstappen forgot how to drive in the wet? His and Norris's laps should not have counted. Lewis got robbed!

So Max struggles in the rain as well? Perez didn’t have off road events. The number of mistakes from all drivers shows this is about the surface being unpredictable.

As everyone was getting much faster on track Sainz only beat the time by 0.4s. It didn’t come together unfortunately but a driver in front could have happened to anyone in these conditions.

It's about the historical trend, not just today. Even today, he is the only driver who hit a wall.
