So it's established. Max's RB20 is a second a lap quicker than the chasing pack.

Max is getting away now. Russell managing and starting to be a coke bottle and holding everyone up

This gap from Max to 2nd at the end might be a bit nuts

The fact that he can do that in a merc is kind of a development in itself tbh.

Kind of means if cars can get good quali positions they can stay in front on tracks that should have better overtaking opportunities between similar performing cars.

BBC radio commentary is terrible this year.
Hulkenberg rejoined the track following his pit stop "quite a bit behind" according to the pitlane woman.
No, how about giving the listener something more descriptive, like "a quarter of a lap behind"? It ain't difficult.
Bloody amateurs.....

I don't get why other teams are unable to get similar gains in race trim as RB.

Qualifying wise every one is so close. That is the actual pure performance. These regulations are crazy and quite hard to parse.

Bizarre issue for Sargeant - brake balance wheel sensor failed and dialed the balance forward rapidly as he was braking into turn 4. He's lucky it didn't shift the balance all the way to the rear instead.
