Was nice to wake up and see Oscar on the front row.
Was a little disappointed yesterday after his 2nd sector times.Verstappen and Piastri are untouchable more than half a second over the rest of the field in the 2nd sector.

Looking for a little luck for ricciardo to snag a point.


Haven't seen any jokes about Piastri not in the Alpine for a while.lol

Starting to look like Bottas wasn’t that bad of a teammate eh?

Feel bad for Ric. Yesterday over track limits and today fricked by Stroll.

I really can’t believe how calm Alonso was. His teammate keeps fricking him.

McLaren's decision to go heavy downforce has been great with all the rain but if it's a dry race they are gonna DRSed by everyone

I’m glad they have brought up Reverse Grid for these sprints… would make it much more interesting.

As long as it isn't for points Im good with it.

There is a reason drivers think the idea is bad.

If Alonso had this self control 15 years ago he would probably have some world titles.

Give some other form of compensation for the final scoring… additional air tunnel time or something.

F2 inverts 1-10. Its quite fun to watch. The sprint limited points system plus only one qualifying session is better than this stupid shite they are doing in F1

F2 is a feeder spec series as well.

What is the point of qualifying fast if you are going to just get put ahead of the faster cars. Just more forced jeopardy.

I'm gonna extend my Monaco idea to sprint races. Put the drivers in cheap spec cars (with a spec V-10 ) and have the sprint be for WDC points only. This idea will never fly because it would be too popular with the fans. Once they saw the true order of the drivers, they would clamor for more sprint races!

This would be amazing. Can you imagine the bitching?

Now we're just talking about taking the drivers and making them all run a spec series as well.

I'm all for the V8/V10 coming back. There is some considerations being made for that. Also, A1GP is being rumored to return. Which would be glorious.

that would be more preferable than one FP then parc ferme on Friday with 2 separate qualifying sessions.

F1TV showing rain coming in for early in the race.

We may see a sprint quali with multiple put stops.
