    Do all have to have at least 1 official lap time to pay out?

    Albon has been just crushing the middle sector. Whatever the makeup of those corners are play into the Williams setup perfectly.

    what is it about this track (or maybe just the red bull car) that is letting mercedes keep up with verstappen?

    The Merc isn't a bad car. It's obviously a very solid powertrain considering what Aston has been able to do with it. They just missed with their minimal sidepod concept compared to the likes of RB and Ferrari. Also, the RB is obviously a damn fine qualifying car but where it really excels is in it's full race set up. Teams will pick off Max for poll every once in a while but when it comes to a full race, that's where the biggest gap is.

    Podium, especially with safety car luck. RB need to sort whatever this battery/downshift problem is.

    Did some sicko shit and watched F2 race. If the tire issues they dealt with happen in this race it's going to be insane. The pit exit on cold tires was a mess. So many crashes.

    I'm going to regret the shit out of tomorrow. Planned to work out in the morning before my wife volunteered us for brunch with another family followed by pickle ball and then golf with a different friend. I'm going to pay for it enormously probably until Tuesday.

    In the meantime, a little vodka and Gatorade
