    Norris having electrical issues and might not make it out in time for a grid start. Oop.

    Race is much more interesting so far than last year's. Enjoying the Haas vs Alpine battles.

    Loved the Ferrari battles even if at their own cost. Antonelli running away with the lead.

    Ferrari have taught the drivers some good deployment techniques, they are jumping around each other just like they did against the Merc last weekend.

    And whatever is helping their starts also gives good SC restarts.

    7 cars out and 4 of them didn't even start.

    GG Kimi.

    Williams in the points!

    It was a better race than Australia.

    Omg Haas mechanics hacking away at Ocon's car in the pits with bolt cutters. Don't think I've ever seen that in F1.

    The 'bunny on skis' track layout really is a great design for racing

    Ah Ocon was having a decent race performance until that incident. Bearman has been fantastic in comparison.

    What a great race! Lewis going at Charles for that sequence of corners was fantastic! Well done to Kimi, held his cool (aside from the lock up) and got a well deserved win. Disaster for McLaren, and a shame that Oscar hasn't run any racing laps so far this year yet.

    Spicy start. Was hoping Ferrari could hold the lead for at least a few more laps before going back to Merc 1-2.

    Welp the engine did not last the race distance like Honda was hoping. https://youtu.be/GjXxi-1eZ7w

    Red Bull having a disastrous race so far.
