I was very annoyed of his dominance and cheered for his rivals. Today I was really happy for him. This guy has not any of his talent, amazing lap!

The season really picking up on entertainment value. Crazy how close the “midfield” teams are.(I don’t know how to call the teams that can be in front but are not Red Bull).

Absolutely legendary quali session. That’s what I love to see

The new tyre rules definitely were entertaining because different teams were strong on different tyre compounds. (RUS Q1 exit on hards vs. HAM pole in Q3 on softs)

This may be a fluke so I hope they try this rule again a few more times this year to see if it really creates more entertainment. And then implement it for good next year.

Russell was hampered by the meelee and jostling when he was starting his final flying lap in Q1. He would have also been there if he had a clean run in that final attempt. I felt that the grid would have been close enough if the normal quali rules were followed

I liked the new tire rules as we have a much better idea what each teams’ true place is on each compound (well, for the top 10 anyway).

I think the new tire rules might pair well with sprint qualifying. It’ll mix up the grid a bit and keep the sprint interesting while also making regular quali and sprint quali orders somewhat different.

Time for a Hamilton and Mercedes incredibly boring win streak!

Probably woke my neighbors up screaming “GET IN THERE LEWIS” as he finally returned to poll. How exciting! Yet another awesome qualifying session across that board (and I personally like the idea of this new format)

Yeah, me too. I thought Norris was going to sneak it but so happy to see such a close grid and Hamilton back on top. Also great to see Danny Ric get straight on it.

An unpredictable quali that wasn’t in the wet! Happy for the Lewis and Lando fans.

Was sure of Verstappen overtake but McLarens were heart breaking. Though he did claw back one.

I love seeing Lando on the podium. Hope he gets his first win this year, but like he said in the post race interview it won’t happen with Max in the running lol
