Thinking a competitor from another unrelated team will "stay out of it" and not fight for a win in a crap box of a car, is beyond delusional.

Oo Piastri… its a pity. 1-2 should have been easily achieved
Considering how Lando passed Q1 in P15 could have been worse. P1-P2 was as possible as P17 and P14 for e.g. So let's enjoy the outcome of a crazy quali, we are better than our competitors both in Drivers Championship and Constructor and hope this to be converted also in the race.
As Oscar said yesterday, Lando has the best place for this.

George should stay behind as he isn't challenging for anything and even if he goes first he won't last in first more than 1 or 2 laps. The Mercedes is nowhere near Mclaren's speed.

That would be the same as Zac's intimation of RB controlling another team in many viewers eyes.

I don't doubt that George will be sensiing and expecting a win from this. Every man for himself and all that :D

Good performance by Lando in those conditions, it's times like this that build reputation in drivers.

I am confident Lando will do okay and George won't pass him at the start.

Albon just said on F1Tv they will not be part of today's race, so, good news, one place up for Oscar, bad news, one place up also for RB drivers.

The grand prix will commence in 2 and a half hours. How is the weather?

Just ignore Red Bull. It is out of our hands. If it is wet, it will be a start behind the safety car and that will mean risk to Norris is minimal.

If Verstappen can fight through to get decent points, he deserves it. Piastri needs a good race and especially, a great defense if Verstappen comes near. This is his role now and he will get the same from Norris if the roles are reverse next year.

Not being rude, but not sure many posting are at the track. Best you can do is check the weather apps, like everyone else.

Max vs the ferraris and Oscar will decide it.

It's wet but no rivers on track. They can drive in that.

Unless Williams has a critical parts shortage I think Albon could end up starting if the race start gets delayed by an hour or something. A 3 hour turnaround for a broken car has been done before.
