At the scheduled start time it was raining and there was a thick layer of water on the track surface. The pace car was driving around kicking up a ton of water, there were sweeper trucks sweeping water, and there were guys with brooms sweeping the standing water off the track.
Most drivers were standing around or sitting and relaxing, but there were a few drivers sitting in their cockpits even though they were no where near being ready to race. Colapinto was in his cockpit with his helmet on, he appeared to be sleeping. Lawson was in his cockpit with his helmet off. He appeared to be deceased.
Now it's 30 minutes after the scheduled start time, and finally they are on the formation lap. The track is in much better condition in some areas, but still very wet in other areas. They are on inters of course.

They appear to be doing multiple formation laps to get water out of the way.
On the radio they are anticipating having to switch to slicks during the race. That's fantastic news! There's gonna be some chaos.

9 DNFs in a sprint is kinda wild. Does George make qualifying?

Well if you like a little chaos in your racing, this sprint delivered. 
The 30-minute race-start delay tightens up the timeline, but I think all of the damaged cars will be ready for qualy.

The McClarens needlessly pissed away points on the last lap

He has to make a lap or he will start in the pits

And what is the ‘carbon footprint’ of doing that?

So after Sprint, Kimi up by 89 over Russell with Russell starting last for the race.
You hate to see it.

Meh… for the wait, it wasn’t that good and what, 4-5 races ago?

You mean Norris? All he had to do was sit there and take the points.
Nice to see super Max back at pole after winning the sprint. Giving me hope.

Probably Norris’ fault but I’m glad he at least went for the position.

Russell spinning out is classic. Toto knew from the start of the season that Antonelli was their chance at winning the championship (which doesnt explain why he had a poor package at the Sprint but thats the only time theyve done that this year).
Mclarens "Papaya" rules really are a lack of rules and lets their drivers have at it. One of them should have been called off at the end of the race. Better to have one angry driver (use an honest reason like better pace, fresher tires...) than having two angry drivers.
And what about Max! We knew the RedBull car was improving (see Hadjer and Lawson) but to win a race, win a sprint and qualify first after how poorly the early midseason was going?! Truly incredible. He doesnt have the best car on the circuit either. He has an improved car and is showing his complete skillset. He could have qualified better too but he had pole locked up. Why push it more than neccessary and end up in the wall?

Yep. Norris made a move that couldn't stick.
Piastri probably should have stayed wider for self preservation but had no obligation to.

I like how Norris says he was trying to race. I guess he was in iRacing mode and decided to go for a gap that wasn't there.
And on the RPM video, Chuck has always been win or bin. I can respect that. I think he knows he has to win it himself without help from the team, so he pushes.
