How long before Gasly is back in the A Team?
If I was Gasley, TBH I'm not sure I'd be in a huge rush, I think I'd rather be fast and happy at AT than in the poisoned chalice that seems to be the 2nd seat at RB.
Props to Vertsappen though, what a drive! Purple in every sector, fastest across the speed trap...perfect start
What a great start to the season. I’m a massive Lewis fan but this gives a chance to see him rise to the challenge and there are so many other stories to be played out over 2021. 👍🏼

Don’t think he will be. Think his next move (if there is one) will be out of the ‘family’, his choice too.
Oof, unlucky for Vettel and Ocon having to slow for Mazepin - who managed to spin twice during Q1. It's a real shock seeing Perez knocked out in Q2 and how bloody quick is the Alpha Tauri? That's a fast car on merit, would love to see Gasly bring home a lot of points tomorrow.
The other surprise is Leclerc's qualifying pace in the Ferrari.
After Mazepin skipped the queue to overtake Vettel (not sure about Ocon) on their warmup lap. Really does seem like a great guy

Such a nice bloke out of the car though.
No, wait...
Eight tenths is quite a gap to Schumacher too
My mate who loved Ferrari passed away last night, then Channel 4 started with Murray 🥲. That nearly finished me. He’d have loved to see Ferrari improving again.
looks like we’ll have a good season based on that qualifying
Loved Steve Jones quip on C4 when talking about the 2021 driver lineup: "More change than Guenther Steiner's swear jar..."and Steiner walking past on camera "bleep bleep bleep..."
My favourite bit from drive to survive, Guenther was asked if he wanted a brolly to provide shade from the sun. ‘An umbrella? **** off!’
Is it me, or is the new Channel 4 commentator a bit "Smashey and Nicey"?!
No not just you. Typical slightly over enthusiastic delivery. Good job Billy and DC are there.
I thought the same about the new guy, sounded very radio style. Billy does such a good job for someone so young, really going to miss Ben Edwards.
I thought he sounded like a DJ too. I dont known who he is, whether he's done much commentating before? It is quite annoying but he's new so hopefully just need to give him some time to lose the nerves and get used to it all.
One of the annoying things for me (in life, not just F1 coverage) is overly loud and excitable obnoxiousity.
Don't know why there is suddenly a need to get far far too over excited. David Croft in particular has to be turned off at most starts which is a shame as the action is usually great.
Suppose the late great Murray Walker is proof that it's always gone on but today they seem to over do it just that bit too much so it appears plain shouty rather than passionate.
"He's looking down from above" ffs who are these idiots.
LOL the worst band ever playing a dreadful tune!!!
ooops
well he made three corners! completely untouched!
LOL
Ha ha!
Nice new Safety Car, very smart.
Lol, booted the throttle and binned it all by himself.
Will become a familiar sight, I reckon...
Pure class!! Certainly living up to his new name - Mazespin! 🤣🤣
😀
Who wants to start hasMazepincrashedtoday.com then?
Mazepin has spun again! He's completely out of his depth in F1 - wonder whether his father will pull the plug on his seat if he doesn't become competitive soon?
Mazepin has spun again!
He crashed out on the 3rd corner of Lap 1. It was the other Haas that spun in the same spot.
Car problem?
why are they expecting Lewis to do anything foolish this early in the season ?
No - team problem. They’ve followed the money and Gene Haas seemingly has zero interest in F1 now.
merc motor looks like it's got a lot of grunt
God this is great.
Great to see McLaren doing well and getting the better of Ferrari .
Does Verstappen and redbull have the mentality to deal with setbacks? Lewis and Merceddes have demonstrated over the past few years if 1 or 2 races don't go to plan, they trust each other to just go again the next race.
loving vettel, sainz and alonso scrapping. imagine mazespin doing all that without touching the other cars, great racing
think Lewis has gone into doing "just enough" mode.
Botas also closing up.
This is a cracking race!!

Messed up pit stop has put paid to that.

Indeed, best F1 for many a year.
verstappen going to go for softs ?
nope
Se Vettel back to form blaming everyone else for his mistakes. Ocon was in the right!

nah, its an interesting "chess match" for strategy, but the front runners havn't been wheel to wheel for much of the race.
Vettel ****ing up and blaming his victim, carrying on his Ferrari form.
