Well let’s see if the F2 boys can behave themselves. Track looks more dry now than for the F3.

That aged well

Well that was suitable chaotic! Two cars didn’t even make the first corner.

Bearman and Marti crash and out even before 1st corner

[PRO5T]

Looked 100% Bearman's fault to me.

[Leithen]

That was Bearman thinking he could sweep across the entire track to take a racing line.

Bearman to blame for that tbh

[Sandpit Steve]

It started with Maloney getting a terrible start and running slowly, Bearman didn’t realise that Marti was to the left of Maloney and three cars weren’t going to fit into the space given. Grid penalty for Bearman at the next race I suspect.

[Leithen]

F2 no better than F3.

he might end up leading more laps this race than any of the actual F2 drivers

Just a lot more expensive.

Martins terribly unlucky there, he’s getting one hell of a bill to fix that car after it rotated round the barrier.

Hadjar clearly following the Verstappen book of how to make your team love you.

[Sandpit Steve]

Aron and Hadjar could actually give us a good race here. I think Vershoor and Antonelli need a safety car, for the alternate strategy to work out faster.

Is he whining like a proper bellend again?

He lost a second or two with a slow stop, and immediately said “that was st” on the radio.

Oh yes. Red Bull really ought to promote him to replace Perez just for the team communication entertainment. Double the fun!
