I mean you say Merc super engines, but Alpine/Williams are looking pretty terrible and McLaren look average. Think Mercedes have just built a great car.

[Sevach]

Poor Bortoleto.

Or a better integration atm

Mclaren my biggest disappointment so far, expected them to be at worst 3 tenths off.

[Juzh]

Poor Bortoleto.

Dude almost caused a huge crash by staying in middle of the road instead of immediately pulling to the side.

We can only say that relative to the other Mercedes customers. I don't think Merc's chassis advantage is that far ahead of Ferrari and Red Bull. It's only that much against Mclaren.

Mercs putting in some disgusting sector times

[djos]

Poor Bortoleto.

Yeah that's a shame, oh well, Im sure Audi consider starting 10th and 11th in their first GP to be a big win.

From some of the things said on the TV, it sounds like all is not well with the new Bosch ECU with multiple teams having issues potentially caused by it.

[FrukostScones]

perfect...

beauty of destruction.

mine placement optimal.

First they’re cheating with the engine and now they’re also trying to pull Mario kart antics?

[Spacepace]

What's next for F1 oil slicks?

[djos]

Nozza was pretty lucky he hit it square with the left tires. If he hit that which his front wing it would have likely smashed a hole in it.

PS, it appeared to be SLS 3D printed as it disintegrated, rather than creating shards of plastic debris like an injection moulded part would.

EDIT: I'm wrong, it did hit the front wing and do some damage to the section in front of the tire. The mechanics taped up the hole in the wing leading edge.

[FrukostScones]

Antonelli is not the prodigy we were promised. Or is he?

Sigh. Game Over.

[djones]

Seems a bit silly from Mercedes to run in full power. Now all eyes will be on their engine more than before.

How many races are till June 1st? Not that will change much but it's a hope.
