Surprised the fans haven't taken to Norris like they have George. Was pretty awesome to get the fans back. Looking forward to Monza
You may have a segment (probably small) that feels like this. I would guess that the vast majority of brits are probably just Mercedes fans because of Lewis and see George as the heir apparent
Verstappen smoking as he lines up. Reminds me of when Hamilton locked up at turn 1 in.. Monaco? But he got off great!
Early reaction but not a fan. Some nice overtakes but I think with Perez and Sainz you see the huge pitfalls with this format. Also, kind of puts a damper on the excitement from yesterday… idk
Initial reaction… Drivers took more chances than I expected The negatives to those risks are extreme Overall it was OK. Don’t hate it or love it. It does take away from qualifying. maybe do the sprint as reverse grid.
Lewis is so competitive and you can see the heart break and frustration when he doesn’t win. Even though the season hasn’t gone to plan he’s not been a whinny as he was in the past and I kinda like him more because of it.
I hate the cop out of yesterday’s qualifying not mattering It’s a convenient position to have when your car is better than 16/20 others
I liked the sprint. Undecided on if I think this weekend is a better format than the traditional way but 2 more times trying it should clear it up so I'm happy they've got those scheduled. The post sprint race lap in the semi was awkward and weird.
It doesn’t matter. This race reset the field top to bottom. It’s why I suggested they use reverse grid to do the sprint race. I think F1 will tweak this setup and find a way to keep the best qualifying setup in motor sport and still include a sprint race that was fun. I wouldn’t mind keeping qualifying on Friday to determine the race start. Make Saturday a reverse grid from Friday qualifying that pays points from 1st to 20th that is a stand alone setup.
