[TheDeuce]

The cars are so impressive here. Magnificent.

[DaveE87]

Great save by Max kept him out the wall there.

[Piginapoke]

What’s going on with Aston Martin?

[Clockwork Cupcake]

Gods that track looks narrow.

(I haven't watched any of the practice sessions)

I think they gave up this on this year's car a few races back.

Really wish we had some helmet cams.

I think he's just sitting on the wall. Not very interesting.

[JonChalk]

It's all getting a bit silly at the final corner according to the live timing app

Love how Lewis has a gigantic sideways moment almost binning it and Brundle and Crofty both totally miss it.

[Piginapoke]

Why it always Bottas engine?!

The camera angle didn’t make it that clear in fairness to them. Very wobbly.

[JonChalk]

Russell does what Russell does

Beats both AMs and Alonso.

Another good Quali.

Didn’t max get really impeded on the final corner on his last fast lap?

He's not had much luck. Wonder how that will affect merc reliability..

Yeah, had to abort it looked like.

It was a pretty clear moment, and in a sequence where it does tend to happen…. And as you say, not a word.

[595Heaven]

That track looks so scary, but everyone cleanly through Q1 which is good

Aston Martins are nowhere

What, you mean Croft isn’t very good?

[Brainpox]

Mazepin doing well to be just one second behind everyone else today

No, that can't possibly be true; Masi has put very strict and comprehensive measures in place to prevent that from happening.
