Very, very sad news. He did great as owner of the company. His involvement seemed to be huge. I wonder what impact this will have on the team going forward from here.

Rest in peace, Mansour.

As most said the first thing to do is have a clear start and not lose any positions. Then our battle is with the Ferraris as I am sure they will be passed by the faster Red Bulls and Hamilton.

Another stellar start. This weekend just continues to “deliver”.

What Norris did was an accomplishment. :/ Maybe his worst start.

Well luck has made Sainz be behind of Ricciardo. Now can Norris catch up to Leclerc? The difference is 9 seconds.

It seems that Lando is starting to close to Yuki, he needs to since Bottas is in DRS range, but a lot of time is lost in S2 following

Surprised Daniel didn’t start on the hard tyre and go long, nothing to loose.

If their racepace is not better now with them choosing a higher df confiq i think it was the wrong choice

Same here... You gotta give it to Aston Martin, they are very aggressive on their strategies

How all this Baku hype even started? I mean, we'll be lucky to scrap even one point as it looks

Good recovery from Lando after that start. We're in the long game now, a higher DF configuration will pay dividends towards the end of the race.

I don’t think so. The avg lap time just isn’t there to trouble the people in front. Differences are too small

Yes, in tire conservation and fuel saving mode right now to do a push towards the end of the race...
